- Adjustable bed frames can help you sleep perfectly because they are much more customizable than your average bed frame or mattress.
- The Nectar Adjustable Bed Frame is the best one we've tried because it has zero-gravity presets, a three-zone massage setting, two USB ports for charging, and a reasonable price.
There's a new trend taking over the bedrooms of America, and it seems to be inspired by hospitals and dentists. Don't scoff - as it turns out, the adjustable beds and chairs of some of our least favorite environments have made their way into our homes, and you just may be surprised by how pleasant a moving bed frame is when it's coupled with your television rather than an overhead fluorescent light.
It's official, friends. Adjustable bed frames are now about as commonly peddled as smart speakers, and honestly, it's about time. It doesn't matter how comfortable your mattress is if the frame beneath it doesn't provide the adequate support. And if that frame can, in fact, be adjusted to suit your particular sleeping needs, then all the better.
When it comes to picking the right adjustable bed frame, you'll want to keep a few things in mind. First off, are you sleeping alone or with another person? Many companies are offering split king sizes, which allow you to actually control each side of the bed separately.
You'll also want to consider whether you prefer to make minute adjustments to your sleeping position yourself, or if you'd rather the sleep experts at various companies create presets for you. Some adjustable frames have a number of built-in settings, like anti-snore and zero gravity. Others just hand you the reins and allow you to raise or lower your head and feet without making any suggestions of their own.
Then, you might keep in mind the extent to which you do work in bed. If you're like me and are looking to turn your bedroom into your home office in every sense of the word, you probably want to pick a higher tech bed frame that comes with USB ports and outlets, so that you can work where you sleep (or vice versa, though that somehow seems sadder).
Some adjustable bed frames come with a few extra bells and whistles, like massage functions and telescopic legs for various bed frame height preferences. Just keep those additional features in mind when deciding which is best for you.
That said, regardless of which frame you pick among our favorites, we've no doubt that you'll be getting some of the best sleep of your life.
