The average person needs seven to nine hours sleep each night, yet millions of Americans don’t even come close. One in four U.S. workers suffers from insomnia, costing employers $63 billion in lost productivity annually. But then there are the countless Americans with undiagnosed conditions. Unfortunately, being the parent of a young child isn’t a recognized medical disorder, even though 54% say they don’t get as much sleep as they need. And don’t forget about the spouses, partners, and sleep-deprived better halves of the 37 million snoring Americans. For all these reasons and more, millions of Americans are finally waking up to the fact that they need to invest in a better night’s sleep, and for many, that means discovering the benefits of adjustable bed systems. There are various sizes of adjustable beds available, with a huge variety of extra features like wireless remotes, adjustable bed mattresses with optional heat and massage functions. (Read more about these features on our website.)
Yet, one of the most common questions people have before buying an adjustable bed mattress is whether it will fit on their standard bed frame. Most people own a bed frame, either a simple steel frame or an ornate decorative frame, plus a box spring and mattress combination. However, for adjustable bed mattresses to — well — adjust, they come with their own bed frame. Our adjustable bed mattresses are constructed with quiet motors designed to help them reliably, silently, and smoothly adjust as needed. However, for the motors and mattress to function correctly, they cannot simply be placed on top of an existing bed frame. Even so, that’s because Craftmatic® Adjustable Bed mattresses come with a built in steel frame. This means you no longer have to go shopping for a bed frame like you normally would when buying new bedroom furniture, nor do you need to buy an extra box spring mattress for support. And while some people mistakenly believe that adjustable bed systems are too expensive, the cost of standard mattresses, plus a box spring, plus a bed frame, plus a headboard can be expensive.

Our home does not have good natural lighting; that was my house hunting wish list sacrifice when we decided to buy our home. I love natural light. Our bedroom has a window on the north and west facing wall, and the bed has to go on one of those two. The east wall has the doors to the bathroom and hallway and the south wall has the closet. So yes, the bed will have to cover part of a window. I thought of two main ways to minimize how much precious light would be blocked – either a low bed or a metal bed.
Metal beds are really cool and on trend right now, but I was not sure the type of classic metal bed I was picturing (like this) would work for the aesthetic I want in here. For that reason we planned to build our own bed so we could design it ourselves and keep it very low (while still having a box spring.) I did a lot of amping myself up to design and build our own bed. I was a little nervous, but ignoring those feelings to just keep saying this will be great! It will be sturdy and not collapse in the middle of the night! People will like seeing the DIY! Then, an amazing mansion-style bed appeared on Craigslist for $225 and I got serious about it. The style was perfect, but when I asked the seller for the measurements I learned that it was absolutely huge. It would have covered 3/4 of the way up the window. At that moment I do not know what prompted me to suddenly do a little more internet shopping for new king beds, but I found four or five beds really quickly that I had never seen before and were all less than $500.
Realizing good new options were not all $1,000+, I abandoned the Craigslist bed and we ordered this one. This Dahlia bed is available on several sites, but the best price (by strangely far) was on Wayfair. I got a coupon too and it was only $320 with free shipping. It is a more masculine piece, which made me hesitant at first, but now I am really liking the idea because I have received David’s approval to skew slightly more feminine with bedding to balance it out. This room will be mostly blues and greens with lots of layering and mixed patterns. After doing a temporary fix on the master bath floor and getting a king bed, we said we would focus on the main level. I would be so ready to start picking out my pretty bedding, but I have forced myself to enact a “spending freeze” on the second floor. It is easy to fritter away money on little extras here and there around the house, so I am trying to be very disciplined and only spend funds on the projects I plan and mean to be working on.
So that means not even buying a bed skirt yet. Really the “freeze” is kind of fun and I like making self imposed rules for myself!We can't seem to find the page you're looking for, but you can hit the link below to browse our catalogue.

Not only are there hundreds of models to choose from, but a big part of what makes a good one is very personal: One person's luxury is another person's backache waiting to happen.Further, there's the matter of cost; mattresses can go for literally thousands of dollars. , an independent mattress review website."For something that you're going to sleep on every day for 10 years, you want materials that are durable and high quality," he says. "And most likely, you won't find good materials that can withstand daily uses for under $1,000." That said, you should never pay full price for a mattress — always shop the sales, and don't be afraid to negotiate with the salesperson either for a discount or for extras (a bed frame, pillows, sheets) to be thrown in.
Here's the savvy way to navigate a showroom full of mattresses with confidence:START WITH SUPPORT The first decision you have to make has to do with a mattress's core, which provides the support. There are four common types: innerspring, foam, latex, and air-filled.If you like a bed with bounce... Innerspring mattresses have that familiar bouncy feel. Still, you can choose how springy you want it to be. The metal coils are typically gauged anywhere from 12 (the thickest and firmest) to 18 (the thinnest and most compressible). Heavier folks tend to prefer a thicker gauge's support. Coils that are interconnected are extra-durable, but individual "pocketed" coils, each covered with fabric, reduce the ripple effect that happens when someone on one side of the bed moves.Innerspring mattresses typically have either a fiberfill or foam outer layer, covered in quilted ticking. But even if you want an uber-plush feel, don't be swayed by a thick-looking pillowtop."A really puffy layer might feel great in the store, but in a few months, you'll see it compressing and not coming back," says Magnuson.
It's often best to choose a firmer, well-quilted mattress, and then cover it with a replaceable mattress pad or feather bed.If you prefer an extra-firm base... Memory foam mattresses (which have a polyurethane core) have much less spring. "You sit on it, and it doesn't really sink or budge beyond the topmost layer," Magnuson says. To determine their quality, ask for the specs on a) how thick the layer of foam is, and b) the foam's density. Thickness can vary from 2 to 6 inches, which will determine how deep you'll sink. In terms of density, 5 pounds per cubic foot is considered very high quality, while down to 3 pounds per cubic foot is less so.If you like a little buoyancy... Latex mattresses are similar to memory foam models in terms of firmness, but have a bit more spring-back. Natural latex (some mattresses are synthetic) is also antimicrobial, resistant to mold and dust mites. These mattresses can be pricey, but claim to last up to 20 years or more.There are two types of latex: Dunlop latex is more dense and heavier than the lighter Talalay latex, which has a softer feel.
If you like customization... Consider an an air-filled vinyl or rubber chamber mattress, which has a remote that lets you to control how much air is inside. Many have two side-by-side chambers, which allow the mattress firmness to be customized separately for you and your partner. The top surface is similar to an innersprings: quilted fiberfill or foam. CONSIDER YOUR LIFESTYLE Beyond the four types of mattresses, there are other factors in their construction that you'll need to think about. From sleep style to body type, to negotiating with a bedfellow, your lifestyle can help you make the best choice:If you tend to sleep on your side... You'll want a surface with a lot of "pressure relief" or the ability to disperse while supporting your body weight, and conforming to your shape."Imagine you're lying on a hard floor and there's a heat map showing the points at which your body is producing the most pressure," Magnuson says.Cushy memory foam or a mattress with a fluffy topper will have the most pressure relief, while a very firm mattress will offer the least.
Innersprings may have more pressure relief than a foam or latex mattress. Test out mattresses lying down to get a real feel.If you tend to sleep on your stomach... Following that heat-map analogy, the last thing a stomach-sleeper probably wants is an enveloping memory foam — it would feel smothering! Instead, a firm top surface will provide the best support. Consider a dense innerspring, air-filled, or latex mattress.If you tend to sleep on your back... Here, you'll want something in the middle — a surface that supports, but has some give so your spine is kept in a healthy alignment. You'll find happiness with any of the mattress types, but you should do your best princess-and-the-pea impression to see what feels best to you.If your partner tosses and turns all night... Consider an innerspring mattress with pocketed coils, or memory foam, latex, or a dual-chamber air-filled mattress. These will all have good "motion isolation." But remember, these models could actually be less comfortable on the body of a restless sleeper, as there's little forgiveness against one's movements.
