Bedworld Adjustable Bed Buying Guide: How to Choose the Right Adjustable Bed
An adjustable bed allows you to change the position of your sleeping surface at the touch of a button. Unlike a traditional fixed base, an adjustable bed uses an electric motor to raise the head section, elevate the legs, create seated positions, activate preset positions, and on selected models, add massage for relaxation.
Adjustable beds suit a broad range of buyers, from those who want to read or watch television in bed to couples who need independent control over each side of the base. Bedworld Osborne Park is an adjustable bed showroom in Perth where customers can compare entry-level, mid-range, split, and luxury adjustable beds in person before buying. The showroom carries a broad selection of adjustable-friendly mattresses available for testing and comparison alongside the base range.

Key Takeaways
An adjustable bed base uses an electric motor to change the position of the sleeping surface, allowing head and leg elevation, preset positions, and massage on selected models.
Bedworld stocks adjustable beds across entry, mid-range, premium, couples, and luxury categories from Slumbercorp DreamFlex and MLILY.
Not every mattress is compatible with an adjustable base. Memory foam, flexible foam, and selected hybrid mattresses are typically the most suitable options. Always confirm compatibility before purchasing.
Split adjustable bases allow couples to control each side of the bed independently, making them a popular choice for buyers with different comfort preferences.
What Is an Adjustable Bed?
An adjustable bed is an electric bed base that changes position through a motorised mechanism controlled by a wireless remote or smartphone app. The base allows users to raise and lower the head and foot sections independently, creating a range of sleeping, reclining, and seated positions to suit different activities and comfort preferences.
Adjustable beds are available in standard sizes for single sleepers and in split configurations for couples, where each side of the base operates independently.
Key adjustable bed features include:
- Remote or app control: Most models use a wireless remote or Bluetooth app. Some models offer both.
- Head elevation: Raises the upper portion of the sleeping surface for reading, relaxing, or watching television in bed.
- Leg elevation: Raises the lower section of the sleeping surface based on personal comfort preference.
- Preset positions: Factory-set positions such as Zero Gravity and Anti-Snore that allow quick adjustment with a single button.
- Programmable memory positions: Some models allow users to save their preferred positions for one-touch recall.
- Massage: Available on selected premium models as a comfort and relaxation feature.
- Split base operation: Available on selected models, allowing each side of a shared bed to be adjusted independently.
Adjustable Bed Base vs Standard Bed Base
Understanding the difference helps clarify whether an adjustable base suits your needs.
Standard Bed Base
A standard bed base provides a fixed sleeping surface in a flat position. It offers reliable mattress support and suits buyers who prefer a traditional sleeping setup without motorised adjustment. Standard bases are typically lower in cost and simpler in construction.
Adjustable Bed Base
An adjustable bed base adds motorised positioning to the sleeping setup. It suits buyers who want lifestyle flexibility, the ability to read or relax in bed at different angles, or the option to adjust comfort settings independently from a partner.An adjustable base does not replace the mattress. The base changes the position of the sleep surface, and the mattress sits on top of it. Choosing a compatible mattress is essential for the base to function correctly and for the mattress to maintain its comfort and structure over time.
Key Features to Consider When Buying an Adjustable Bed
Head Adjustment
Head elevation is the most commonly used feature on adjustable beds. Raising the head section allows you to read, watch television, or relax in a reclined position without using additional pillows. It can also be useful for finding a more comfortable resting position based on personal preference.
Leg Adjustment
Leg elevation raises the lower section of the sleeping surface. Some buyers find this a more comfortable resting position, particularly for evening relaxation or reading. The degree of elevation varies by model, so testing in store is the most reliable way to find the right feel.
Zero Gravity Position
Zero Gravity is a preset position available on many adjustable beds. It raises both the head and legs simultaneously to create a balanced, reclined position where the body weight is distributed across a broader surface area. Zero Gravity is designed as a comfort position and is one of the most popular presets across the adjustable bed range. It is not a medical position and does not treat or fix health conditions.
Anti-Snore Position
Some adjustable beds include an Anti-Snore preset that slightly raises the upper body section. This is a comfort positioning feature. It does not treat or prevent snoring as a medical condition.
Massage Function
Massage is available on selected premium adjustable bed models. It operates through vibration motors built into the base and is designed as a relaxation and comfort feature. Massage intensity and modes vary by model, with some offering multiple wave and pulse settings.
Programmable Memory Positions
Many mid-range and premium adjustable beds allow users to save their preferred head and foot positions as memory presets. This lets you return to your preferred position with a single button press, without manually adjusting the base each time.
USB Charging
Selected models include USB charging ports built into the base, allowing devices to be charged from the bed without requiring a separate power outlet nearby.
Zero Clearance Design
Zero Clearance models sit flush against a compatible bed frame or ensemble base, creating a cleaner, more integrated look in the bedroom. This is particularly relevant for buyers who want to use the adjustable base inside an existing bed frame.
Underbed Lighting
Available on selected models, underbed lighting provides a low-level ambient light option that is useful for nighttime navigation without disturbing a sleeping partner.
Split Adjustable Beds: The Best Option for Couples
A split adjustable base is one of the most practical choices for couples who have different comfort preferences. Rather than both sides of the bed moving together, a split base divides into two independent sections, each controlled separately.
This means one person can raise the head section to read while the other sleeps flat, or each person can set their preferred Zero Gravity or massage setting without affecting the other side. Split King adjustable beds are a popular choice for couples in Perth who want full independent control, each with their own remote and their own adjustable-friendly mattress.
Split adjustable beds are available in Queen and King sizes. If you share a bed and have different sleeping preferences, a split base is worth considering before purchasing a standard adjustable model. Bedworld also carries a range of adjustable bed accessories including mattress protectors, specialty sheets, and pillow options in store. Call 08 9242 4333 to confirm current warranty terms, pricing, and delivery options. Professional delivery and assembly services are available with every adjustable bed purchase across Perth metro. Delivery takes 1 to 7 days.

Adjustable beds are chosen for a range of lifestyle, comfort, accessibility, and bedroom reasons. This section covers common search needs that buyers bring to Bedworld Osborne Park when looking for the right adjustable bed in Perth.
Adjustable Beds for Seniors and Easier Access
Some seniors and buyers with mobility needs prefer adjustable beds because selected models allow more flexible positioning and, on certain bases, additional bed height adjustment. The ability to raise or lower the head and leg sections can make it easier to get comfortable for reading, relaxing, or resting. On selected models such as the MLILY iActive LO-LO, the full bed height can also be raised or lowered, which some buyers find useful for easier access.

Some buyers searching for adjustable beds for arthritis, acid reflux, snoring, sleep apnoea, or similar health-related concerns may be interested in the additional positional flexibility an electric adjustable base provides. Adjustable beds should not be presented as treatments for these conditions, and customers with diagnosed medical concerns should seek appropriate professional advice. Buyers looking for hospital-style adjustable bed functionality in Perth may also consider models with electric head and leg adjustment, height adjustment, lockable castors, or optional rails, depending on the model.
Adjustable Beds for Couples
For couples with different comfort preferences, a split King or split Queen adjustable bed allows each person to control their own side of the bed independently. This is one of the most popular reasons couples choose an adjustable base in Perth. The Slumbercorp DreamFlex 400 Split is the main couples-focused split base in the Bedworld range. See the Adjustable Beds for Couples category section above for full details.
Electric Adjustable Beds for Home Use
