There are a variety of options available to you based on your sleep style and personal preference. Typically, side sleepers or those with back pain opt for a more plush option, while those who sleep on their back or stomach will prefer a firmer mattress.

Which adjustable bed base is right for me?

The type of adjustable base that's best for you is dependent on your preference and what features you're looking for.

All Malouf adjustable bed bases can function in zero clearance mode.

Will my mattress slide off when I elevate my head?
