Compatibility comes first

Many foam and hybrid mattresses work on adjustable bases, but always verify the mattress maker's guidance. Also compare lift range, retainer systems, remote controls, split-size compatibility, weight limits, warranty terms and whether the base changes mattress-return eligibility.

Questions to ask before you buy

  • Does the firmness make sense for my primary sleep position and body weight?
  • Will the construction fit my preference for contouring versus responsiveness?
  • Are temperature and partner movement important enough to change the construction I choose?
  • What foundation does the manufacturer require?
  • What are the current trial, return-fee and warranty terms?

A sensible next step
