The PlushBeds S755 also lacks the Bluetooth speaker and the sub-woofer of the DM9000 but has a remote pouch. To be quite honest your decision on buying an adjustable bed base should not be influenced by features like speakers and remote pouches. If you don’t want all the specs on the S755, yet you like the luxury of the PlushBeds models, consider some of the M555 or the E455.

The decisive factor is the high price tag of the S755. PlushBeds S755 adjustable beds are approx. twice as more expensive as the DM9000s bed bases. At the time of writing this, you can get the DM9000s queen adjustable base for less than $1130 whereas the S755 queen base is priced at $2400.

This Tempur-pedic adjustable bed frames cost approximately $2200 for queen sized beds and $4000 for king-sized bed frames. However, it still lacks a few specs compared to the Dynasty adjustable beds.

Pros and cons of the Motion-in-A-box adjustable base

Price Range of Motorized Bed Bases

What decides price?

1. Size – typically the price goes up from Twin XL to Full size to Queen size to King to Cal King to Split King
2. Brand / Manufacturer
3. Specs on offer – the most basic adjustable beds come with head tilt only (typically with a wired remote). These beds are the cheapest.
4. Whether adjustable mattress is included or not
5. Warranty coverage and period

Hospital bed type of adjustable beds also pricey in the 2023 market. Premium hospital bed brands (e.g. Hopeful, Wert, Invacare) with built-in side rails typically sell for upwards of $3,000 for a Twin XL size. You won’t get queen size or split versions for these hospital beds as they are almost exclusively used by single patients. Please note that these are not meant for exclusive use at hospitals. In additions to hospitals, they can be used at residences as well where there are seniors or other patients with mobility issues. Fortunately, these maybe covered by medicare through Medicare Part B.

Most of today’s retailers offer great deals on both adjustable beds and mattresses especially on credit card payments. This is a great relief for consumers not prepared to spend the entire price out of their pockets at once. Also take a close look at the different warranties offered by different retailers. Some offer warranties as long as 25 years, but such warranties give a very limited and pro-rated coverage.

Some retailers market their beds as a treatment option for chronic back pain. You should always consult a doctor to find out if your back pain (acute or chronic) can be fixed by an adjustable bed or not. Further, when you’re searching for online bed reviews, you should always check if they use a reasonable review system or not. Some reviewers simply give a ranking without a justifiable system. Before you decide that a particular adjustable bed brand is your best option, remember to check their phone number so that you can contact them if a technical issue comes up.

If you are a couple and are shopping for a split-queen or king, don’t forget to check for the “link” between the two twin-XL beds. Usually a USB or other cable will link the two bases together so that the two beds can be operated with a single wireless remote. If you are not sure about how to connect the two bases, always call the company using the phone number. In fact calling them might be an excellent way to get an idea about their customer service too.

Shoppers sometimes make purchasing decisions entirely based on the price. Some of the cheap adjustable beds in the 2023 marketplace have very poor warranties. Therefore, we request buyers to compare the different warranties offered by various companies when shopping for your dream bed.

One of the first things interested buyers would think of is the mattress price. They can cost as little as $300 for a memory foam mattress or as much as $2000 upwards for a latex foam king mattress in the 2023 mattress market. Adjustable air mattress brands (e.g. adjustable firmness air beds by Sleep Number) are usually not cheap. Obviously, split mattresses costs more than a queen mattress. No one wants to pay for shipping these days and thankfully, most models come with free shipping and extended periods of money back warranty these days. Some even come with free return shipping whereas with others, you only have to pay return shipping or a re-stocking fee. It is also important to think of sleep hygiene and the durability of a mattress. Some brands are cheap and less durable while high-cost models can be more durable due to the high quality materials that have been used to manufacture it. Whether you’re shopping online or at your local mattress stores / outlets / showrooms, this is something you really ought to pay attention to.

Are adjustable beds worth it? On average, adjustable beds cost $1,000 to $3,500, depending on your preference. Most customers find investment in an adjustable bed good for their health and worth the money since they provide sleep-promoting benefits.
