5 Best Adjustable Beds For Seniors – Buying Guide

Adjustable beds can aid in a better night’s sleep, a more comfortable sleep, fewer aches, and pains. It also allows you to read or work on your laptop in a more comfortable position from your bed. No matter the reason you’re considering an adjustable bed, it’s helpful to know your options. 5 Best Adjustable Beds For Seniors – Buying Guide explores the features, pros and cons, and the differences of 5 of the best-rated adjustable beds. Comparing these beds will help narrow down your choices while making your purchasing decision.

Before We Get Started

If you don’t know what options are available in adjustable beds, I wrote an article, Adjustable Beds – The Definitive Buying Guide. You might find reading that article beneficial.

If you’re not sure what type of mattress is for you, you might want to read an article I wrote, Best Mattress Buying Guide 2021. In that article, you can explore different types of mattresses and see what would work best for you and your needs.

A note of caution – the bed base is not the frame/headboard. It can look misleading in the pictures because you may think you are getting the mattress and the wooden frame and headboard. Usually, what you will find included in adjustable beds is the mattress and the base holding the mattress. Also, most adjustable beds do not come with a box spring, but they are usually not needed.

When you are considering purchasing an adjustable bed, the same site may offer various sizes. Be sure to select the correct size. Also, before purchasing, look at the site to be sure the features you want are available.

There is a table at the bottom of this post for a side-by-side visual comparison of these five adjustable beds.

Leggett & Platt Prodigy Comfort Elite

Available Sizes

• Twin XL
• Queen
• Split King

Mattress

• Gel Memory Foam
• Twin XL – 10″
• Queen – 10″
• Split King – Two Twin XL 10″

Features

The different size beds have different features so be sure to look at the features on the website for the size bed you are looking for.

• Independent Head And Foot Incline
• Pillow Tilt
• Wallhugger
• App – Android and Apple
• Remote
• Dual Massage
• Under-bed LED lighting
• Weight Capacity – Not stated
• Warranty
  • 25 year on base
  • 10 year on mattress

The Leggett and Platt Prodigy comes with some great features, but the one that stands out for me is the wallhugger technology. A wallhugger raises the back up as the bottom moves you towards the wall. This allows the bed to be closer to the wall, which comes in handy with a smaller room.

This bed is heavy and requires more than one person to carry. There are quite a few size options, so if you decide to purchase this one, be sure you are getting the one you want and go over the options on the website. Another issue I would consider before purchasing is the manufacturer didn’t include many of the features in its description. Before purchasing I would want to have more information about the product such as the warranty.
