Is an adjustable bed frame worth it?

[Royalfan5 2353]

The wife and I are going to upgrade our bed this spring. Is getting an adjustable bed worth it? We don't spend a lot of time in it out side of sleeping and fucking if that makes a difference. 

[Quagmire 2147]

My wife bought one , it’s nice sometimes if watching tv but nothing a few pillows couldn’t do , I’d say no considering they are 1k

[fattyflattie 4639]

We got ours for less than a few hundred bucks iirc.  We use it semi-often for TV etc.  I wouldn't care too much if I didn't have it, and definitely wouldn't pay 1k for it.

Similar as above as far as TV or reading benefits.

Our adjustable was discounted substantially as part of our recent mattress purchase. I also wouldn't purchase one on its own.

I will say raising the feet and head simultaneously helps reduce some lower back pull and pain vs. just laying flat. But it's not something I can get used to when sleeping, so it's mostly employed just before sleeping, when reading etc.

And yeah you can probably accomplish that with pillows.

Ours did come with an utterly useless "vibration" setting supposedly for massage purposes.

But it's really just for Griswold Vacation role-playing.

Your mom really like mine.

Recently spent more than I should have on a new Temurpedic and it’s kick ass. Never knew what I was missing, including the Zero G setting which is comfy af.

Zero g makes me feel like a folded up taco

When i bought my last bed they gave you the adjustable base for free. The plain Jane metal frame was $500 extra. 
 

Never plugged it in  

*Mattress firm. Excuse was steel prices.

We don’t even have a TV in our bedroom. Me and my wife had this same conversation because we are buying a new mattress after 10+ years in the tempurpedic we have. 

We couldn’t even name a single situation in which we would use it. 

[MonkeyDoughnut 10226]

I never thought about it or considered it until mid 40's....Based on my experience, your body will let you know if and when you need/want it.

We have the tempurpedic adjustable base with the fancy cooling mattress. Absolutely love it. We don't have a TV in our room either but my wife likes to read before bed so she loves it. Years of wrestling took it's toll on my body and the zero g position is fucking fantabulous for my back. Best money I've spent in a long time. Had it a couple years now and we're going to hand this one down to our son eventually and get the split king so we can both be in different positions.

This is where I landed, but it took some doing to talk the husband out of the adjustable.  He's addicted to those old commercials with the old people in them and has convinced himself that's the way he wants to live.  I'm not ready to have someone change his diapers, so we went with the big boy bed.

I had no choice.  After my esophageal cancer surgery, I have to sleep partially elevated on my back for the rest of my life.  So we did a ton of research and went with the iSense.  Every bell and whistle, and it's super comfortable.  Don't regret it for a second.

[BearSchlong 8082]

Bump.

What brands/features/price range should I be considering? Looking for both the remote control adjustable frame and a new mattress. My in laws spent over 10k and I suspect that’s where I’ll end up. Anyone else actively considering this?

This zero g thing interests me.

[BearSchlong 8082]

Wife wants a sleep number climate controlled model. Anybody here own one?

We recently did adjustable with the vibration feature. We use the vibration far more than the adjustable part. We have found that raising the head just a little bit during allergy season really helps.

We have a built in 6DOF motion simulator - The good is we can fuck in space and stuff and it really adds to the impact - The bad is that the VR headset keeps popping me when she gives head. I suspect that it will just be a fad.

We did Sealy, in the neighborhood of $4K-4500. As I mentioned to TigOl, the vibration feature is worth the extra money to me. 

[BearSchlong 8082]

Just demo’d sleep number with the adjustable base but alas no vibration. Anyone have anything pro/con about sleep number?

[BearSchlong 8082]

Decided on tempurpedic ergo bases with Stearns and Foster reserve mattresses.

Sleep number was cool in concept but It’s still an air mattress. I'm sure they would have been neat.

And now Kennythetiger from surly talked me into buying a vibrating bed.

We have an adjustable base. I sleep a ton better with slight incline and feet raised. I also don’t snore so much when I have been drinking
