How to choose an electric adjustable bed
Unlike traditional beds, electric adjustable bed frames can be re-positioned to make you more comfortable. 😊
These mobile areas typically include the back and feet.
Some, including the Dreams Sleepmotion 800i adjustable bed models, have even more adjustable areas, including the head, back, lumbar, and feet. 👇
Some frames also have adjustable legs that can alter the height of the bed.
But what should you consider when choosing a new adjustable bed?
Things to think about:
- Which areas of the bed do you want to be able to adjust?
- Do you need to be able to alter the height of the bed?
- Are you interested in any additional features?
- How confident are you with operating an electric adjustable bed?
- What bed size do you need?
- Are there any weight limitations to consider?
- What is your budget?
Let’s delve into these questions in a little more detail. 🔎
Select your adjustable areas
Electric beds allow you to change the shape of the bed.
You can usually adjust the areas at the top of the bed and the bottom. 🔼🔽
Some, like the Dreams Sleepmotion 400i and 800i, split the top of the bed into smaller adjustable sections, including the head and back (and lumbar for 800i models).
These allow you to perfect your positioning, for instance, by raising the lumbar area higher to better support your back and reduce pain.
If you often suffer, particularly with lower back pain, an electric bed with an adjustable lumbar section, like the Dreams Sleepmotion 800i, could be worth the investment. 👍
Customisable height
Some electric profile beds also have adjustable legs.
These legs allow users to change the bed height.
Those with medical conditions or mobility issues can struggle to climb into and out of bed if they sit too high or low. 😞
Altering the height of a bed can make it as easy as possible to get into and out of bed.
Unfortunately, not all electric beds have adjustable legs. 🙅
If you want a bed that can be made higher or lower, the Dreams Sleepmotion 200u&i Adjustable Bed legs can be set to 20 or 28 cm (8 or 11 inches).
Additional features
Exploring additional features can enhance your adjustable bed experience.
Massage features, typically foot and leg massagers, are ideal for relaxation. 💆
Adjustable massage beds can increase circulation, reduce tension, and improve mobility.
Alternatively, electric beds with split adjustment areas are a practical choice for couples with different comfort needs. 👫
They allow individualised settings.
It's also possible to find beds with features like under-bed lighting for practical, low-level illumination, ideal for nighttime safety.
Electric beds with built-in TVs are an excellent choice if you want the ultimate comfort at all times. 📺
These allow you to relax in bed, enjoy your favourite shows, and adjust the bed into a more comfortable position.
Usability
Adjustable beds are generally easy to use,
Most electric beds in the UK are adjusted with the touch of a button on a remote control.
However, some beds also allow users to control their bed via a phone app. 📱
It's worth considering a Dreams Sleepmotion model if you like the idea of using an app to control your bed.
Sizes
As with any bed, you’ll need to consider both your (and your partner's) needs and the space you have available.
A single electric bed is ideal for those sleeping alone and with limited space. 🛌
Alternatively, those sharing a bed will likely want an adjustable double bed or something larger.
Weight limitations
Weight limits of adjustable bed frames can vary.
Most Dreams Sleepmotion beds have weight limits of 355 kg (782 lbs), including the mattress. 🏋️
Typically, mattresses weigh between 22 and 68 kg (50 to 150 lbs), meaning you and your partner can weigh up to 333 and 287 kg (732 to 632 lbs) combined.
This weight limit is on the higher end of the spectrum.
Prices
In general, electric mobility beds are more expensive than traditional bed frames.
But within these adjustable frames, there is still a lot of price variation.
The cost will largely depend on factors like the brand you buy and the features you desire. 💷
Beds with more features tend to cost more, as do those from brands such as Tempur UK.
Durability
When buying online, it can be tricky to tell if a product is truly durable. 🤔
However, reviews, materials used, and guarantees will all give you a better idea of whether an electric adjustable bed is built to last.
In general, customers suggest that Dreams Sleepmotion beds last well.
What happens if something goes wrong?
As well as choosing a durable bed, it’s worth thinking about what happens if something goes wrong.
While, ideally, your bed will be fault-free, that’s not always the case.
It’s worth buying from a company with reputable customer service so you know you’ll be supported if anything goes wrong.
Dreams has an impressive 4.8 stars on Trustpilot, at least partly because of its excellent customer service. 🏆
Adjustable bed positions and their benefits
You can get more from your adjustable bed if you know how to use it.
So, let's look at some of the most commonly used bed positions you can try! 🤔
Electric bed positions
One popular option is the zero gravity setting, which involves lifting the head and legs to create a 120-degree angle at the hips. 🚀
This position distributes your weight evenly, alleviating pressure from common stress points
For those with circulatory issues or leg swelling, a bed with an adjustable feet section can raise the legs to promote better circulation.
Lying with your legs raised can even alleviate lower back pain and sciatica symptoms, which are linked to difficulties falling asleep [1] and reduced sleep quality.
Using an electric bed to elevate the head can improve breathing and digestion. 🫁
An inclined position can reduce snoring [2] and offer relief for those with respiratory issues or who suffer from acid reflux by opening the airways and nasal passages.
Electric adjustable bed benefits
Now that we've seen some of the most commonly used electric bed positions let's summarise the key advantages.
Benefits include:
- Making getting into and out of bed easier.
- Soothing back pain and other pains by alleviating pressure points.
- Improving circulation and potentially relieving swelling.
- Reducing snoring, sleep apnoea, and other breathing difficulties by lifting the head and clearing the airways.
- Easing acid reflux by elevating the head and body.
The right adjustable bed and positions will help you get the maximum benefits.
Cost of an electric adjustable bed
Electric adjustable beds cost more than most standard beds because of their electric and moving components.
The price of these beds can climb even higher for beds from premium brands, those packed with extra features, or larger bed sizes. 💷
Electric beds are still worth the investment for many, especially those with mobility issues.
The right electric bed can significantly improve your life and sleep.

Electric adjustable bed sizes
Like most bed frames, adjustable beds come in a range of sizes. 📏
These include:
- Electric single beds
- Electric small double beds
- Electric double beds
- Electric king-size beds
- Electric super king beds
Some adjustable beds offer more limited options.
For instance, some beds, like the Sleepeezee Adjustable Divan Bed, are only available as a single electric bed.
Alternatively, split frames like the Dreams Sleepmotion 200u&i Adjustable Bed only come in larger king-size and super king sizes.
You may want to filter your searches accordingly if you’re looking for a specific size.
By searching for specific sizes, you can ensure you only see beds that fit your criteria.
Electric adjustable bed trials and guarantees
Navigating the world of electric adjustable beds can be tricky, especially with varied guarantees and the lack of trials.
There's always a chance that something will go wrong with a recliner bed's moving components and powerbase.
A decent warranty can offer peace of mind in case something goes wrong. 😌
Let's get into what some of the most popular UK retailers offer.
Dreams offers some of the best electric adjustable beds in the UK, but they only come with a free 1-year warranty. 1️⃣
While this 1-year warranty is disappointing, the good news is that customers can upgrade to an 8-year guarantee under the Dreams Bedcover plan.
Alternatively, Bensons for Beds provides a reassuring free 5-year warranty.
Those eyeing the more expensive Tempur Genoa adjustable bed should know that it has an outstanding 10-year guarantee, though we were disappointed by the lukewarm customer reviews. 💰
Mattress Next Day offers a 10-year guarantee with their Sleepeezee range, which is especially impressive considering the more affordable price.
Remember, these powerbase reclining beds, including options for disabled beds, are long-term investments.
The warranty period can be a crucial factor in your decision-making. 🤔
Electric adjustable bed delivery and assembly
Electric beds can be heavy, making delivery and assembly more challenging.
Luckily, most reputable bed brands offer delivery to the room of your choice. 🚚
Remember that you may need to pay extra for this service, so it’s best to check the details of the retailer's delivery service before you order.
Assembling an adjustable bed
Assembling an electric bed will typically require 2 people.
If you are concerned about building an electric bed, we suggest ordering from Dreams.
They offer a bed assembly service, which could save you time and stress, ensuring your bed is expertly put together. 😀
Should you buy an electric adjustable bed?
Electric beds can be game-changers whether you want a recliner for relaxing, have mobility difficulties, or are experiencing frequent pain.
While they're not the cheapest option on the market, the benefits far outweigh the cost.
The best electric adjustable beds in the UK make getting in and out of bed easier, enhance comfort, and alleviate pain and pressure points! 🌟
