If you spend your nights tossing and turning in an attempt to get comfortable, an adjustable bed might be worth considering. These sleep surfaces move your bed into a variety of different positions to ease pressure off your joints and foster your all-around comfort. “An adjustable bed allows you to put your body in a reclined position with the head slightly elevated and the legs and feet slightly elevated—that can lower pressure in the lumbar spine and help people with back pain become more comfortable,” says Mara Vucich, D.O., a physiatrist with The Maryland Spine Center at Mercy Medical Center.

The Saatva Lineal Adjustable Bed Base makes lounging in bed that much easier.

Adjustable beds can also be helpful for people who have trouble breathing, suffer from heartburn or acid reflux, have swelling in the legs and/or struggle with chronic neck or low back pain, says Vinita Mathew, M.D., a physiatrist at Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital. And, if someone struggles with mobility or needs a caregiver, having an adjustable bed can make it easier for both, says physical therapist Nancy R. Kirsch, Ph.D., vice chair of Rehabilitation and Movement Sciences at Rutgers University.

The Tempur-Ergo Power Base has all of the basics you want with an adjustable bed, plus a bunch of features you didn’t even know you needed. The bed features the company’s Sleeptracker AI, which analyzes your activity, sleep stages and bedroom environment and gives you information on how to sleep better. It also features USB ports for your phone and underbed lighting, so you don’t have to worry about stubbing your toe on the frame when you get up for a late-night bathroom break. This bed responds to snoring by automatically raising your bed 12 degrees. It doles out massages, too, offering up three levels of intensity you can adjust with the push of a button.

The Sealy Ease doesn’t come with swanky features like under-bed lighting and a massager, but it does feature a firm surface and limitless adjustments to help back pain sufferers get into a comfortable position. The bed’s wireless remote features just three buttons—for your head, legs and zero gravity. But, really, most people don’t need or use more than that. Adjustable legs allow you to get the bed height you prefer.

Just like there are many different mattresses, there are plenty of adjustable beds to choose from. Consider these factors when making your selection.

You don’t need to spend thousands to get a good adjustable bed, although you’ll likely get more features when you do. Consider in advance what elements are important to you, along with what you feel comfortable spending. Prices range from as little as $300 to as much as $3,000. Often, you can bundle the adjustable bed and a new mattress together to save some money.

Adjustable beds can come with a range of features. Remotes are pretty standard, but many also offer massagers and different levels of adjustment. Some also have presets, like zero gravity and TV mode, and under-bed lighting.

The ability to raise and lower your head is standard with adjustable beds, but they don’t all raise your head to the same degree. If you plan to sit nearly upright in bed, having a bed with a high head-raising degree, like 70 degrees, is a good idea.

Some adjustable beds are standard frames that allow you to adjust the entire head and foot of the bed. Others are split—either just on the top or down the entire frame—to allow you to control each side of the bed independently. If you sleep with a partner, you may want to consider a split adjustable bed so you can each tailor the adjustments to your liking. If you sleep alone, a standard bed will likely suit your needs (and usually costs less).

Some adjustable beds contain options like built-in USB chargers—a nice option to have if you prefer to keep your phone handy while you snooze. Foot warmers and other bells and whistles also show up in different models, but you often have to pay a premium for these additional comfort features. Decide what’s important to you and budget accordingly.
