The Bed that Adjusts to Your Needs
Did you know that the average person spends about one-third of their life in bed? The bedroom is your sanctuary-at-home, and a place that is more than just a "pad" to catch a few winks of sleep. Whenever you have to spend extra time resting or recuperating at home, you'll know why many people are choosing adjustable electric bed platforms to provide the automatic adjustability and massage required for optimal rejuvenation and comfort. And, unless your bed is exclusively a "sleeping station", the unique features of an adjustable bed are worth a serious look.

Last time I propped myself up on pillows in bed, it spawned a series of visits to the Chiropractor ... which was no fun, to say the least. And, indeed, propping yourself up that way to read or watch television can lead to serious discomfort. Whenever bed elevation or massage, or on-demand adjustability is important for comfort or physical or medical challenges, the extra support and special features of adjustable electric beds ("craftmatic" or "orthomatic") by Leggett Platt are the industry standard for upper and/or lower body elevation, massage, and dependable comfort. Sturdy and well-built, each model hosts a variety of adjustable options to suit your needs.
Pair the premium S-Cape Adjustable Platform or the standard Pro-Motion Adjustable Platform with a high quality memory foam or latex mattress to help you or your loved ones rest in well-supported comfort -- all at the touch of a button. The convenient cordless or corded wand incorporates simple-to-use functions to adjust the elevation of the upper or lower body, or to control the soothing massage functions (S-Cape Model).
Most adjustable bed platforms are delivered by White Glove Service, meaning that the delivery agents will set up the bed in the room of your choice -- though you do need to let your sales representative know where that room is within your house at the time of ordering. And, although adjustable bed platforms do not combine well with high mattresses (over about 13"), or mattresses that are stiff and not very flexible, there is actually a wide range of quality mattresses that can be paired with your new Adjustable Bed Platform.
From the basic "tempurpedic style" mattress -- which is the memory foam mattress covered in a simple yet elegant cover that is not indulged with special quilting, stitching, or additional padding -- to premium quilted pillowtop mattresses -- and encompassing the same variations with Latex Mattresses, there is a wide range of materials, feel, and support to choose from. Make sure to speak with an experienced sales representative if you have any questions about your needs.
The S-Cape Adjustable Platform
The S-Cape is the luxury model of adjustable beds, complete with wall-hugger capability that slides your bed closer to the wall as the bed elevates. This model also sports a wireless glow-in-the-dark control wand for effortless control of its many features; and adjustable Neurosage Wave(r) Massage with Memory Massage Recall, as well as Memory Position Recall and Automatic Leveler. Each platform features welded construction with Armor Shield Plating, and is designed to support up to 300 lbs (375 lbs for the Full and 425 lbs for the Queen). Leggett-Platt also offers a 20 Year Limited Warranty on this model.
The S-Cape (Optima) adjustable platform has been designed to fit within most headboards, footboards, and bedframes, and has a luxurious boxspring appearance. State-of-the-art design now enables up to60 degrees elevation of the head and feet, with an automatic power reserve for emergency lowering in the event of power loss. Additionally, massage functions are wired to 30 minute automatic timers, allowing you to rest in quiet comfort after a thoroughly relaxing massage.
The Profile or Pro-Motion Adjustable Platform
With the same powerful heavy duty dual-lift motors, the Pro-Motion Adjustable Bed Platform offers the same dependable whisper-quiet performance as the S-Cape, but without all the bells and whistles. This model also offers a fully adjustable platform -- head, legs, and feet -- but no massage function, and a corded control wand with the same easy-to-use luminous controls for night time ease of use. Each platform features welded construction with Armor Shield Plating, and is designed to support up to 300 lbs (375 lbs for the Full and 425 lbs for the Queen). Leggett-Platt also offers a 5 Year Limited Warranty on this model.
The Pro-Motion adjustable bed also offers a full 60 degrees of elevation of both head and feet, with free-fall gravity-lowering design and a 100% polarized modular electrical system to eliminate stray wires and tangles. All fine Leggett & Platt adjustable bases feature a tailored serpentine quilted fabric covering, giving them a traditional box spring appearance. Both adjustable bed platforms have optional headboard brackets, leg extenders, and locking casters to help customize the bed to fit your home.
Beds and Beds
In the marketplace, there are a variety of choices for adjustable bed platforms, though it takes a bit of searching to find them. While Leggett & Platt is the industry leader and a US company that has been around for decades, there are also wood-slatted adjustable beds of European origin, as well as Asian adjustables that appear to be of a more modernist design. Whatever brand you choose, make sure that the manufacturer has a proven track record, and that you get all of the features available to suit your needs. Even though an adjustable electric bed is an investment, don't try to compensate by skimping on your choice of mattresses. Look over the available options, and consider them in light of your own preferences and needs -- and choose a model that will meet or exceed your requirements and expectations.
