If an adjustable bed—one that adjusts at both the top and bottom at an angle of up to 70 degrees—is right for your comfort needs, it’s time to select the right mattress. The best options bend without compromising structure and support. Here’s a closer look at three types and how well they work in adjustable bed frames.

How Different Mattresses Fare on Adjustable Beds

1. Innerspring

Classic innerspring models feature steel spring support systems covered by padded material. Today’s versions feature individually wrapped springs to keep them from popping out after years of use.

While this popular option offers the firm base many people enjoy for back and neck support, its springs don’t conform well to adjustable bed frames. You may not be able to adjust an innerspring model as much as you would like, or you may find that it creates pressure points depending on its age and overall quality. 

2. Latex

Produced from natural or synthetic rubber, latex mattresses offer firm support without the coils. Their firmness translates to rigidity if you select a thicker version for your reclining bed, so look for thin models to enjoy easy adjustments.

Expect a latex model to go back to its original shape no matter how much you adjust it. If you have chemical allergies, choose a natural rubber model that won’t off-gas.

3. Memory Foam

Memory foam accommodates individual body shapes and weights without creating pressure points. They feature layers of foam and absorb movement, which is ideal if you share your adjustable bed with a partner because it minimizes disturbances.

These options bend and flex easily to provide maximum comfort without the risk of decreasing structural integrity or support. And because memory foam is temperature-sensitive, you won’t need extra blankets to stay warm.
