Adjustable Bed Mattresses

What makes a mattress adjustable?

Adjustable mattresses need to offer a degree of adjustability and flexibility to ensure maximum comfort. By adjusting the position of your mattress, you can get out of bed more easily which is essential for those with mobility issues - adjustable mattresses are able to do this as they feature soft comfort materials that are easily bendable.

The materials adjustable mattresses are made from vary but often include memory foam, soft fibres, and pocket springs for maximum comfort and support. Whichever materials your adjustable mattress contains, it will be designed to offer as much support across the whole body as possible, minimising pressure on joints to improve your sleep.

Standard pocket sprung mattresses use several hundred individually wrapped springs to offer as much support and even weight distribution as possible, however, adjustable mattresses will pair pocket springs with memory foam for more specialised pressure relief. The minimal resistance offered by adjustable memory foam mattresses means they're the perfect choice for anyone who suffers from back pain.

Are there specific benefits to adjustable mattresses?

Adjustable mattresses offer a range of unique benefits:

• Their adjustability allows people who suffer from mobility issues to sit up simply by pressing a button.

• An adjustable mattress is specifically designed to contort with the shape of an adjustable bed.

• Temperature-controlled mattress covers are also available for adjustable mattresses, which can allow you to stay cool and comfortable throughout the night.

How do you choose the right adjustable mattress?

Searching for the right adjustable mattress for your bed is easy and depends entirely on what you need from your adjustable mattress. You'll find a mattress suitable for you, thanks to the wide range of comfort grades available.

Medium and firm adjustable mattresses are generally a wise choice for those who require more support in their spine and joints. If you tend to sleep on your side more often, a medium firmness will offer the best of both worlds, with necessary support and enough cushioning to protect pressure points such as shoulders and hips.

What are the adjustable bed and mattress size options available?

Mattresses for adjustable beds are available in a variety of sizes. We offer size options including a small single with a 75cm width, a single with a 90cm width, a small double with a 120cm width, and a double with a 135cm width.

This allows you to choose the perfect adjustable mattress for your bed, your space, your lifestyle, and the way that you sleep. If you need help deciding which bed size is best for you, read our Ultimate UK Bed & Mattress Size Guide.

Is it possible to purchase just an adjustable mattress?

Yes, we offer a huge range of adjustable mattresses that can be purchased without having to purchase an adjustable bed. Bear in mind that you will need an adjustable bed to utilise your adjustable mattress properly, however!

We recommend you replace your adjustable bed mattress every eight years, as you would any other mattress. Read our guide to how long a mattress lasts for more information and advice.

Is an adjustable mattress topper/protector required?

There's no right answer - it's simply up to you, your preferences, and how you feel most comfortable sleeping. One of our adjustable mattresses will offer you a great deal of comfort on its own, so an adjustable mattress topper shouldn't be considered an "essential".

However, a mattress topper for your adjustable mattress will offer you an extra layer of padding for improved comfort - especially if you choose one made from memory foam. A mattress protector can help to extend the life of the mattress, and protect it from any stains, spills, or other incidents that might occur. Mattress protectors are easily replaceable and washable, but a soiled mattress will be more expensive to replace.
