Finding Your Ideal Base: A Tiered Selection Guide
Choosing the right base depends on your specific goals. We’ve categorized our selection into three tiers to help you identify which features will best improve your nighttime routine.
- The Essential Tier: Head-Up Foundations
- Best For: Casual readers or those primarily concerned with acid reflux and snoring.
- The Experience: These entry-level models offer motorized "Head-Up" articulation.
- The Benefit: By elevating the upper body, you can find a comfortable angle for lounging without the neck strain associated with propping up pillows. These are durable, high-quality foundations designed for simplicity and value.
- The Performance Tier: Dual-Zone Articulation
- Best For: Individuals managing lower back pain, leg swelling, or those wanting more control over their sleep posture.
- The Experience: Step up to models that offer independent head and foot control.
- The Benefit: These bases allow you to raise your legs independently of your head. Elevating the feet is a popular choice for our local hikers and active residents in Skagit and Whatcom counties, as it helps reduce fluid buildup in the lower extremities after a long day.
- The Smart Tier: Integrated Sleep Technology
- Best For: Tech enthusiasts and those who want an active partner in their sleep health.
- The Experience: Our premium smart bases feature advanced sensors and automated responses.
- The Benefit: Some of our top-tier models include features like Automatic Snore Response, where the base detects snoring and subtly adjusts the head angle for you. These bases often include additional luxuries like under-bed lighting, USB charging ports, and integrated massage zones to help you decompress before sleep.
Why Buy Local from DeWaard & Bode?
When you purchase a power foundation from us, you get local expertise that online retailers cannot provide:
- White-Glove Delivery & Setup: Adjustable bases are heavy and contain complex electronics. Our local Bellingham and Burlington crews handle the full assembly, ensuring your motors are synced and your bed is ready for use the moment we leave.
- Mattress Compatibility Checks: Not every mattress is built for motion. We will help you verify that your current or new mattress has the flexibility to contour properly without damaging the internal structure.
- Local Post-Purchase Support: We stand behind what we sell. If you ever need a remote resynced or a motor checked, our in-house service team is just a local phone call away.
Frequently Asked Questions About Adjustable Mattress Bases
Do I need a special bed frame for an adjustable base?
Most of the models we stock are Zero-Clearance, meaning they can sit directly on your current bed slats or fit inside your existing decorative headboard and footboard system.
Can I use two different bases for a King size bed?
Yes. This is called a Split-King setup. It allows each sleeper to control their side of the bed independently, perfect for couples with different sleep preferences.
Where can I try an adjustable mattress base in person?
We have two convenient locations in Western Washington ready to serve you:
What is the best adjustable bed base on the market?
The best base depends on your personal health goals. We recommend Tempur-Pedic for advanced smart features like sleep coaching and Sealy for reliable, essential support. To find the perfect match for your body and mattress, visit our Bellingham or Burlington showrooms for a personalized comfort test.
Can any mattress go on an adjustable base?
No. Only flexible mattresses designed for motion, such as memory foam, latex, and hybrid models with pocketed coils, should be used. Avoid traditional wire-tied or innerspring mattresses, as they are too rigid and can damage both the mattress and the base. Look for the adjustable friendly label or ask our experts to verify your current model.
What are the disadvantages of an adjustable bed?
Key considerations include higher initial cost, significant weight (making them harder to move), and the need for a nearby power outlet. However, these are easily managed with our local white-glove delivery and in-house service team. Visit us in-store to weigh these factors against the long-term benefits of better sleep posture and respiratory relief.
