Finding the Right Bed for Better Sleep and Comfort

Choosing a bed isn't simply a matter of deciding between soft and firm. Your preferred sleeping position, temperature, comfort needs, mobility, and the way you use your bed can all influence which mattress, base, or complete sleep system makes the most sense for you.

Start With How You Sleep

Think about the position you naturally return to during the night and what you like—or don't like—about your current mattress. Side sleepers often prefer more cushioning around pressure-sensitive areas such as the shoulders and hips, while other sleepers may prefer a more supportive or responsive feel.

Comfort is highly personal. That's why specifications alone don't always tell you whether a mattress will feel right once you're actually lying on it.

Consider More Than Mattress Firmness

Mattress construction can affect much more than whether the surface feels soft or firm. Materials and design can influence pressure relief, responsiveness, motion transfer, airflow, temperature management, and the overall feel of the bed.

For example, the Malouf Ice Cloud® combines memory foams with individually encased coils and multiple cooling technologies, creating a hybrid sleep surface that balances plush cushioning with underlying support.

What Does an Adjustable Base Add?

An adjustable base allows the position of the mattress itself to change. Instead of remaining completely flat, compatible mattresses can be raised at the head, feet, or both, depending on the capabilities of the base.

Advanced models can offer considerably more. The Malouf S755 includes independent head and foot positioning, head tilt, adjustable lumbar support, Reach Assist™ technology, preset and programmable positions, massage, smart controls, and Zero Gravity positioning.

Think About How You Use Your Bed While You're Awake

Your bed may also be where you read, watch television, relax, use a tablet, or simply put your feet up at the end of the day. If you spend significant time in bed while awake, adjustable positioning can make those activities much more comfortable than repeatedly arranging pillows behind your back or beneath your legs.

Features such as programmable positions can also make it easy to return to a favorite setup without manually adjusting the bed each time.

When Accessibility Is Just as Important as Comfort

For someone with limited mobility, the height and positioning of the entire bed can become an important consideration. A specialized hi-low bed provides functionality that a conventional mattress and adjustable base may not.

The Passport Hi-Low Bed combines adjustable sleep positioning with powered height adjustment, allowing the entire sleep surface to be raised or lowered. This can make the bed more adaptable to the user's mobility needs as well as assistance from a caregiver.

Don't Forget About Bed Height

Bed height is easy to overlook until getting into or out of bed becomes difficult. A sleep surface that is too high may make it difficult to climb into, while one that is too low can require considerably more effort when standing.

When mobility is a concern, consider the complete height of the mattress and base together—not simply the thickness of the mattress.

Mattress and Adjustable Base Compatibility

If you're pairing a mattress with an adjustable base, make sure the mattress is designed to flex appropriately as the base changes position. Mattress type, thickness, construction, and manufacturer recommendations can all affect compatibility.

You should also consider the bed frame or furniture surrounding the adjustable base. Some adjustable bases offer zero-clearance installation or other configuration options that make them easier to incorporate into an existing bedroom.

Try Your Sleep Setup Before You Decide

Features and specifications are helpful for narrowing your choices, but they can't completely describe how a mattress feels or how an adjustable position affects your comfort.

When possible, visit The Bone Store and experience the options in person. Lie on the mattress in your normal sleeping position, experiment with adjustable-base positions, and give yourself enough time to notice how the complete sleep system feels—not just how it looks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Beds & Sleep Solutions

How do I choose the right mattress?

Start with your preferred sleeping position, comfort preference, and what you like or dislike about your current mattress. Consider whether you prefer a softer, more contouring surface or a more supportive feel, as well as factors such as pressure relief, temperature, motion transfer, and responsiveness. Whenever possible, trying a mattress in your normal sleeping position can be more helpful than choosing based on a firmness description alone.

What is a hybrid mattress?

A hybrid mattress combines foam comfort layers with a coil support system. The exact construction varies by mattress, but the goal is generally to combine the contouring and cushioning characteristics of foam with the responsiveness and support of coils. The Ice Cloud® mattress, for example, combines multiple foam layers with individually encased steel coils.

What does an adjustable bed base do?

An adjustable base allows you to change the position of a compatible mattress instead of keeping it completely flat. Depending on the model, you may be able to independently elevate your upper body and legs. More advanced bases may add features such as head tilt, lumbar adjustment, massage, preset positions, programmable positions, lighting, charging ports, and smart controls.

What is the Zero Gravity position on an adjustable bed?

Zero Gravity is a preset position that elevates both the upper body and legs to create a supported, reclined position. Many people simply find this position comfortable for relaxing, reading, watching television, or resting. The exact Zero Gravity position varies by adjustable-base model.

Can any mattress be used on an adjustable base?

No. The mattress needs to be compatible with an adjustable foundation and flexible enough to move properly as the base changes position. Always verify compatibility for the particular mattress and adjustable base you're considering.

Can I use an adjustable base with my existing bed frame?

Often, but compatibility depends on both the adjustable base and your existing furniture. Some bases are designed to fit inside compatible bed frames, while zero-clearance models may offer additional installation options. Measure your furniture carefully and review the requirements of the particular adjustable base before purchasing.

What's the difference between an adjustable base and a hi-low bed?

An adjustable base changes the sleeping position by raising or lowering sections such as the head and feet. A hi-low bed adds powered height adjustment that raises or lowers the entire sleep surface. That additional movement can be especially useful when bed access, transfers, or caregiver assistance are important considerations.

How do I know what bed height is right for me?

A comfortable bed height generally allows you to sit near the edge of the mattress and transition between sitting and standing without having to climb up onto the bed or rise from an unnecessarily low position. Individual height, leg length, strength, balance, and mobility all matter, so there isn't one ideal bed height for everyone.

Are adjustable beds only for people with medical or mobility needs?

No. Adjustable bases can certainly be useful when positioning or accessibility is important, but many people choose them simply for comfort. Being able to raise your head or legs can create comfortable positions for sleeping, relaxing, reading, watching television, or spending time in bed.

Do adjustable bases come in different sizes?

Yes. Available sizes vary by model. For example, The Bone Store currently offers the Malouf S755 in Twin XL, Queen, King, and California King configurations. When selecting a base, make sure the size is compatible with your mattress and bedroom furniture.

Should I buy the mattress and adjustable base together?

Not necessarily, but choosing them together can make it easier to confirm compatibility and evaluate how the complete sleep system feels. If you already own a mattress you like, first determine whether it is compatible with the adjustable base you're considering.

Can I try these beds at The Bone Store before buying?

Availability varies by product and location, but we encourage you to visit The Bone Store when possible to experience our sleep solutions in person. Trying different mattress feels and adjustable positions can help you understand which features actually make a difference for your comfort and needs.
