Adjustable Beds & Bases in Los Angeles

The terms are often used interchangeably. An "adjustable bed" typically refers to the complete setup — the base plus a compatible mattress. An "adjustable base" refers specifically to the motorized foundation component. When you shop at LA Mattress Store, you purchase the adjustable base and the mattress separately, which allows you to choose any compatible mattress at any firmness level rather than being locked into a bundled option. We can also help you pair an adjustable base with a mattress you already own if it is compatible.

For many people with back pain, yes. The zero gravity position — elevating both the head and knees to reduce lumbar compression — is particularly effective for lower back pain relief. Elevating the head slightly can reduce pressure on spinal discs. Elevating the feet reduces pressure on the lower back by shifting body weight distribution. The ability to find the specific angle that minimizes your discomfort is the key benefit of an adjustable base over a flat mattress. However, adjustable bases address positioning, not mattress support — pairing an adjustable base with a mattress that provides appropriate support for your sleep position is important.

Yes — elevating the head section 7–15 degrees is one of the most effective non-medical interventions for snoring. This angle opens the airway and reduces the soft tissue collapse that causes snoring sounds. Many adjustable bases include a dedicated "anti-snore" preset that automatically moves to the recommended elevation angle. For couples, a split king adjustable base allows one partner to elevate without disturbing the other side of the bed. For severe snoring or sleep apnea, we recommend consulting a physician in addition to using an adjustable base.

Possibly. Compatible mattresses include all-foam mattresses, latex mattresses, and hybrid mattresses with individually pocketed coils. Incompatible mattresses include traditional innerspring mattresses with Bonnell or continuous coils, and any mattress with a rigid non-flexible support system. If you are unsure whether your current mattress is compatible, bring the model name to any of our showrooms or call (800) 218-3578 and we can check the manufacturer specifications. Using an incompatible mattress on an adjustable base can damage the mattress coils and void the warranty.

Memory foam and latex mattresses are the most flexible and work with any adjustable base. Hybrid mattresses with individually pocketed coils (not Bonnell coils) also work well. For best results, choose a mattress with a flex-friendly profile — typically 10–14 inches thick. Very thick mattresses (15"+) may have limited flex range that reduces the effective articulation of the base. We sell adjustable bases paired with compatible mattresses and can help you identify which mattress and base combination works best for your needs.

Zero gravity is a preset position on most adjustable bases that elevates the head approximately 26–30 degrees and raises the knees slightly, creating a position where body weight is distributed evenly across the surface rather than concentrated on any one area. In this position, the heart is roughly level with the legs, reducing cardiovascular strain during sleep. The position decompresses the lumbar spine, improves circulation, and for many sleepers significantly reduces overnight back pain and morning stiffness. It is particularly effective for sleepers with lower back issues, edema, or poor circulation.

A split king adjustable base is two Twin XL-sized adjustable bases placed side by side within a king-size bed frame. Each base operates completely independently — one partner can have their head elevated while the other sleeps flat, or one can use the massage feature while the other is still. A split king base requires two Twin XL mattresses (not a single king). This setup is ideal for couples with different sleep positions, different health needs, or different schedules. It is the most customizable sleeping arrangement available and eliminates all compromise between partners.

Adjustable bases at LA Mattress Store range from approximately $299 for an entry-level base with basic head/foot elevation to over $2,000 for premium bases with app control, sleep tracking, lumbar support, and advanced split features. The best value range is $599–$999, where you get zero gravity presets, massage, USB charging, and under-bed lighting. Split king setups (two bases) typically run $899–$2,400. All adjustable bases include free white glove delivery, setup, and 0% APR financing for 12 months on approved credit.
