SoSoftBeds / Buying guides

Adjustable Bed Buying Guide

Choose how the bed moves first. Then decide who controls each side, how you want to reach the storage, and which mattress and finishing options suit you.

An electrically adjustable sleeping surface, a powered ottoman lid and a height-adjustable platform do different jobs. This guide compares the SoSoftBeds range so you can choose the movement you need without paying for features you will not use.

\"SoSoftBeds
Considering different positions for two sleepers? Start with the operation and mattress arrangement, not just the overall bed width.

Three movements, three different benefits

Adjust the sleeping position

A profiling mechanism changes the position of sections of the sleeping surface. The standard custom-options listing describes a five-part mechanism with back and leg adjustment. It lets you choose a more upright position for reading or change your resting position without rebuilding a stack of pillows.

Open the storage electrically

An electric ottoman lift raises the platform to access storage. That is a separate movement from adjusting the back or legs. The All Electric Ottoman Adjustable Bed combines profiling with remote-controlled storage opening.

Raise the platform height

The Height Adjustable Profiling Bed adds a height-lifting function. This is worth discussing when changing the platform's working height matters, rather than simply sitting up in bed. Choosing a taller fixed base on another model is not the same feature.

Choose independent sides

Twin operation uses two independent controllers. A split arrangement allows two sleepers to select different positions. A single-operation arrangement is the alternative when you want one coordinated sleeping surface. Confirm which sizes and mattresses support the arrangement you choose.

For care-related requirements, discuss the user's needs with a qualified professional and confirm the exact equipment specification with SoSoftBeds. Product names such as “hospital” or “mobility” do not, on their own, establish clinical suitability, certification or a height-lifting function.

Compare the adjustable-bed range

Some listings offer the same core customisation menu. A different product name does not necessarily mean a different mechanism is included. Use the comparison to find a starting point, then check the selected configuration on the product page.

Seven products, compared by configuration and buying priority
ProductWhy start here?Options to compareImportant distinction
Adjustable Beds with Custom OptionsA flexible starting point for electric positioning, upholstery and storage choices.Single or twin operation; no storage, drawers, gas-lift or electric-lift upgrades; optional mattresses and headboards.Wireless controls, massage and higher-capacity frame choices appear as upgrades, not a promise that everything is included.
King Size Adjustable BedCompare a full-width king mattress with a split arrangement for two sleepers.The description offers one 5ft mattress or two 2ft6 mattresses with dual operation, alongside custom storage and finish choices.Choose the operation and mattress layout together. The configurator also exposes other sizes, so check the size selected in the basket.
Super King Adjustable BedMore sleeping width, with a choice of one surface or independent sides.The description offers one 6ft mattress or two 3ft mattresses for a split dual-operation setup.Check the finished upholstered footprint and delivery access, not just the nominal mattress width.
Heavy Duty Ottoman Electric Adjustable BedDiscuss a stronger frame option alongside adjustable comfort and storage.The core menu matches the standard custom-options listing and includes 25-stone frame upgrade choices.The description also identifies a standard 18-stone mechanism. Do not assume the higher rating is included because the title says “Heavy Duty”.
Modern Mobility Hospital BedsA home-focused listing to discuss positioning and practical bedroom needs.Its core menu matches the standard custom-options listing: operation, storage, fixed base heights and frame upgrades.Do not infer a powered height-lift or medical specification from the title. Confirm required functions individually.
All Electric Ottoman Adjustable BedElectric positioning plus powered access to under-bed storage.Single or twin operation; ottoman storage; fixed base-height choices; upholstery, headboards and selected control/frame upgrades.This listing's storage menu is ottoman-only, unlike the broader no-storage/drawer menu on the general listings.
Height Adjustable Profiling BedWhen lifting the sleeping platform's height is a priority.Single height-adjustable operation or a duo configuration with a customised second base; second-base storage or adjustable-frame choices.Do not assume both sides of a duo setup have powered height adjustment. Confirm the function of each side and the finished height range.

Range and option labels checked on 8 October 2026. Available combinations and surcharges depend on the selected size, operation and other choices. Confirm the final configuration before ordering.

Choose options by the benefit you need

Storage: access matters as much as space

The general custom-options menu includes no storage, two drawers on the same side, two drawers at the foot, four continental drawers, and upgrades to gas-lift or electric-lift ottoman storage. Not every option will be available in every combination.

  • No storage: choose this if under-bed storage is not a priority.
  • Drawers: useful for accessing smaller items without lifting the platform. Check drawer clearance beside wardrobes and bedside furniture.
  • Gas-lift ottoman: assisted manual access to the storage compartment. Confirm the lifting effort with the mattress you intend to use.
  • Electric-lift ottoman: powered storage opening is useful when frequent manual lifting is inconvenient. Check power access, operation instructions and the specified loads.

The height-adjustable model labels its storage choices as “2nd Base Options”. Do not treat that menu as proof that storage sits beneath the lifting side. Ask for the layout of your chosen duo configuration.

Also keep an optional matching ottoman storage box separate from the bed itself. Depth options attached to that accessory describe the box, not necessarily the adjustable bed's usable storage.

\"All
Powered storage and profiling: check each movement separately.
\"Height
Height-adjustable profiling: confirm the function of each side.

Base height: fixed height is not powered height adjustment

The general and all-electric listings offer fixed base-height labels of 37cm, 44cm and 50cm, including 5cm feet. The height-adjustable listing offers 44cm and 50cm base choices and describes a separate lifting range. Confirm its lowest and highest positions for your exact build.

Base height is not internal storage depth. Add the selected mattress thickness when assessing the approximate finished sleeping-surface height, and confirm where the supplier takes the base measurement. Check the height you find comfortable when sitting on the edge with the bed flat.

Controls and comfort extras

Single operation and twin operation are separate choices from wired or wireless control. The configurators list wireless remote upgrades, including paired remotes on applicable setups. Wireless controls reduce the need to manage a handset cable, but confirm which handset operates profiling and which operates storage or height lifting.

Massage and dual-massage options are also listed. Treat these as optional comfort features, not medical treatment. Check whether the option applies to one or both sides.

Frame rating and reinforcement

Several menus show standard 18-stone labels and optional 25-stone frame upgrades, including left- and right-side selections. Base reinforcement is listed separately and should not be assumed to increase the mechanism's rated load.

Before selecting a frame upgrade, obtain confirmation of the load limit for the exact mechanism, whether it applies per side, and whether mattress weight is included. The product descriptions do not use these qualifications consistently enough to quote one universal range-wide limit.

Fabric, headboard and feet

Choose upholstery after resolving movement and room fit. The range lists SoSoftBeds and Warwick fabric choices, multiple headboard designs and heights, and feet options. A headboard is not automatically included: “Without Headboard” is a listed choice. Check the finished dimensions, fittings and access route before choosing a tall floor-standing design.

Plan your room

Adjustable bed sizes & base heights

Measure the base, not just the mattress size. These are the bed-base dimensions, excluding the headboard.

Available sizes — base width × length
Bed sizeCentimetresFeet & inches
Small Single79cm × 200cm2ft 7in × 6ft 7in
Single94cm × 200cm3ft 1in × 6ft 7in
Small Double124cm × 200cm4ft 1in × 6ft 7in
Double140cm × 200cm4ft 7in × 6ft 7in
King Size157cm × 200cm5ft 2in × 6ft 7in
Super King188cm × 200cm6ft 2in × 6ft 7in

Headboards add 8cm to the bed-base length: a 200cm base is 208cm long with the headboard fitted.

Need a shorter bed? Adjustable bed bases with a 190cm length are available upon request. Contact us to arrange a 190cm base before ordering. The sizes and packages shown here use the standard 200cm base length.

Imperial measurements are approximate. These are not mattress dimensions. Allow separately for drawer or ottoman opening clearance and your delivery access route. Confirm the selected configuration before ordering.

Base height options

All three heights below include the 5cm feet. Mattress height is additional; base height is not internal storage depth or powered height adjustment.

  • 37cm14.6in including feet
  • 44cm17.3in including feet
  • 50cm19.7in including feet

Size, storage and height availability depend on the chosen model and configuration.

Match the mattress to the movement

For independent movement, choose the split mattress arrangement intended for the bed. The king listing describes two 2ft6 mattresses; the super king listing describes two 3ft mattresses. Check mattress length as well as width, and do not buy standard single mattresses solely because the width sounds right.

The configurators include an “Add a Mattress” choice and size-specific menus. These include cool-gel, latex, memory and selected pillow-top descriptions, with firmness and edge-support labels varying by option. Split configurations also expose left- and right-side mattress choices.

  • Different comfort preferences: compare the eligible mattress options for each side of a split bed.
  • Keeping a mattress: ask whether its exact construction, dimensions and weight are suitable for the chosen adjustable mechanism and any storage lift.
  • Choosing by material: compare the full mattress specification and stated firmness; material names alone do not tell you how firm the mattress will feel.
  • Choosing a pillow top: use the product's offered combination and confirm flexibility and overall height. Do not assume every pillow-top mattress works on a profiling base.

Measure the finished bed, not just the mattress name

The size selectors use labels such as “King Size 5ft2” and “Superking 6ft2”, while the descriptions refer to 5ft and 6ft mattress arrangements. These are not interchangeable measurements. Confirm the finished base width, length, headboard projection and mattress dimensions for the selected build.

Browse single, small double, double, king and super king adjustable beds to narrow the range.

Ready-made adjustable bed packages

Compare six ready-made setups. Check the included specification, select View Configured Product to review the options, or add your chosen setup to the basket.

Your pre-order checklist

  1. Movement: specify profiling, powered storage and height adjustment separately.
  2. Each sleeper: confirm single or twin operation and the mechanism fitted to each side.
  3. Mattresses: check number, length, width, suitability, firmness and weight.
  4. Room and access: measure the finished footprint, drawers or lid opening, stairs, doorways and headboard clearance.
  5. Power and safety: confirm socket placement, cable routing and what to do during a power failure. Keep moving parts clear and follow the supplied instructions.
  6. Loads: confirm mechanism and storage limits for your exact configuration.
  7. Complete price: review the selected bed, mattresses, headboard, upgrades and any delivery, assembly or removal services. A starting price does not describe every pictured feature.

Common buying questions

Is an electric ottoman the same as an adjustable bed?

No. Electric ottoman movement opens storage; profiling changes the sleeping position. The All Electric Ottoman Adjustable Bed combines both. Check the specification rather than relying on the word “electric”.

Do both sides move independently?

Only when the chosen configuration provides independent operation. Select the appropriate twin-operation and split-mattress setup. On the height-adjustable model, confirm whether the second side is a fixed, storage or adjustable base and which side has height lifting.

Does a 50cm base mean 50cm of storage?

No. The base-height options include construction and feet; they are not internal-depth measurements. Ask for the usable compartment dimensions of the selected adjustable bed. The separate matching storage box has its own depth options.

Are wireless controls and a mattress included?

Do not assume so. The menus include wireless upgrades and an optional “Add a Mattress” selection. Check the order summary for the exact included components and any extras.

Which model should I start with?

Start with Custom Options for a flexible configuration, King or Super King to compare full-width and split sleeping, All Electric Ottoman for powered storage, or Height Adjustable Profiling when platform-height movement is essential. Confirm requirements rather than choosing by product name alone.

Then decide who controls each side, how you want to reach the storage, and which mattress and finishing options suit you.\nAn electrically adjustable sleeping surface, a powered ottoman lid and a height-adjustable platform do different jobs. This guide compares the SoSoftBeds range so you can choose the movement you need without paying for features you will not use.\nConsidering different positions for two sleepers? Start with the operation and mattress arrangement, not just the overall bed width. Types of movement Compare the range Options and benefits Size and mattresses Before ordering Base dimensions Ready-made packages Three movements, three different benefits\nAdjust the sleeping position\nA profiling mechanism changes the position of sections of the sleeping surface. The standard custom-options listing describes a five-part mechanism with back and leg adjustment. It lets you choose a more upright position for reading or change your resting position without rebuilding a stack of pillows.\nOpen the storage electrically\nAn electric ottoman lift raises the platform to access storage. That is a separate movement from adjusting the back or legs. The All Electric Ottoman Adjustable Bed combines profiling with remote-controlled storage opening.\nRaise the platform height\nThe Height Adjustable Profiling Bed adds a height-lifting function. This is worth discussing when changing the platform's working height matters, rather than simply sitting up in bed. Choosing a taller fixed base on another model is not the same feature.\nChoose independent sides\nTwin operation uses two independent controllers. A split arrangement allows two sleepers to select different positions. A single-operation arrangement is the alternative when you want one coordinated sleeping surface. Confirm which sizes and mattresses support the arrangement you choose.\nFor care-related requirements, discuss the user's needs with a qualified professional and confirm the exact equipment specification with SoSoftBeds. Product names such as “hospital” or “mobility” do not, on their own, establish clinical suitability, certification or a height-lifting function.\nCompare the adjustable-bed range\nSome listings offer the same core customisation menu. A different product name does not necessarily mean a different mechanism is included. Use the comparison to find a starting point, then check the selected configuration on the product page.\nSeven products, compared by configuration and buying priority Product Why start here? Options to compare Important distinction\nAdjustable Beds with Custom Options A flexible starting point for electric positioning, upholstery and storage choices. Single or twin operation; no storage, drawers, gas-lift or electric-lift upgrades; optional mattresses and headboards. Wireless controls, massage and higher-capacity frame choices appear as upgrades, not a promise that everything is included.\nKing Size Adjustable Bed Compare a full-width king mattress with a split arrangement for two sleepers. The description offers one 5ft mattress or two 2ft6 mattresses with dual operation, alongside custom storage and finish choices. Choose the operation and mattress layout together. The configurator also exposes other sizes, so check the size selected in the basket.\nSuper King Adjustable Bed More sleeping width, with a choice of one surface or independent sides. The description offers one 6ft mattress or two 3ft mattresses for a split dual-operation setup. Check the finished upholstered footprint and delivery access, not just the nominal mattress width.\nHeavy Duty Ottoman Electric Adjustable Bed Discuss a stronger frame option alongside adjustable comfort and storage. The core menu matches the standard custom-options listing and includes 25-stone frame upgrade choices. The description also identifies a standard 18-stone mechanism. Do not assume the higher rating is included because the title says “Heavy Duty”.\nModern Mobility Hospital Beds A home-focused listing to discuss positioning and practical bedroom needs. Its core menu matches the standard custom-options listing: operation, storage, fixed base heights and frame upgrades. Do not infer a powered height-lift or medical specification from the title. Confirm required functions individually.\nAll Electric Ottoman Adjustable Bed Electric positioning plus powered access to under-bed storage. Single or twin operation; ottoman storage; fixed base-height choices; upholstery, headboards and selected control/frame upgrades. This listing's storage menu is ottoman-only, unlike the broader no-storage/drawer menu on the general listings.\nHeight Adjustable Profiling Bed When lifting the sleeping platform's height is a priority. Single height-adjustable operation or a duo configuration with a customised second base; second-base storage or adjustable-frame choices. Do not assume both sides of a duo setup have powered height adjustment. Confirm the function of each side and the finished height range.\nRange and option labels checked on 8 October 2026. Available combinations and surcharges depend on the selected size, operation and other choices. Confirm the final configuration before ordering.\nChoose options by the benefit you need\nStorage: access matters as much as space\nThe general custom-options menu includes no storage, two drawers on the same side, two drawers at the foot, four continental drawers, and upgrades to gas-lift or electric-lift ottoman storage. Not every option will be available in every combination.\nNo storage: choose this if under-bed storage is not a priority.\nDrawers: useful for accessing smaller items without lifting the platform. Check drawer clearance beside wardrobes and bedside furniture.\nGas-lift ottoman: assisted manual access to the storage compartment. Confirm the lifting effort with the mattress you intend to use.\nElectric-lift ottoman: powered storage opening is useful when frequent manual lifting is inconvenient. Check power access, operation instructions and the specified loads.\nThe height-adjustable model labels its storage choices as “2nd Base Options” . Do not treat that menu as proof that storage sits beneath the lifting side. Ask for the layout of your chosen duo configuration.\nAlso keep an optional matching ottoman storage box separate from the bed itself. Depth options attached to that accessory describe the box, not necessarily the adjustable bed's usable storage.\nPowered storage and profiling : check each movement separately. Height-adjustable profiling : confirm the function of each side.\nBase height: fixed height is not powered height adjustment\nThe general and all-electric listings offer fixed base-height labels of 37cm, 44cm and 50cm, including 5cm feet. The height-adjustable listing offers 44cm and 50cm base choices and describes a separate lifting range. Confirm its lowest and highest positions for your exact build.\nBase height is not internal storage depth. Add the selected mattress thickness when assessing the approximate finished sleeping-surface height, and confirm where the supplier takes the base measurement. Check the height you find comfortable when sitting on the edge with the bed flat.\nControls and comfort extras\nSingle operation and twin operation are separate choices from wired or wireless control. The configurators list wireless remote upgrades, including paired remotes on applicable setups. Wireless controls reduce the need to manage a handset cable, but confirm which handset operates profiling and which operates storage or height lifting.\nMassage and dual-massage options are also listed. Treat these as optional comfort features, not medical treatment. Check whether the option applies to one or both sides.\nFrame rating and reinforcement\nSeveral menus show standard 18-stone labels and optional 25-stone frame upgrades, including left- and right-side selections. Base reinforcement is listed separately and should not be assumed to increase the mechanism's rated load.\nBefore selecting a frame upgrade, obtain confirmation of the load limit for the exact mechanism, whether it applies per side, and whether mattress weight is included. The product descriptions do not use these qualifications consistently enough to quote one universal range-wide limit.\nFabric, headboard and feet\nChoose upholstery after resolving movement and room fit. The range lists SoSoftBeds and Warwick fabric choices, multiple headboard designs and heights, and feet options. A headboard is not automatically included: “Without Headboard” is a listed choice. Check the finished dimensions, fittings and access route before choosing a tall floor-standing design.\nPlan your room\nAdjustable bed sizes & base heights\nMeasure the base, not just the mattress size. These are the bed-base dimensions, excluding the headboard .\nAvailable sizes — base width × length Bed size Centimetres Feet & inches\nSmall Single 79cm × 200cm 2ft 7in × 6ft 7in\nSingle 94cm × 200cm 3ft 1in × 6ft 7in\nSmall Double 124cm × 200cm 4ft 1in × 6ft 7in\nDouble 140cm × 200cm 4ft 7in × 6ft 7in\nKing Size 157cm × 200cm 5ft 2in × 6ft 7in\nSuper King 188cm × 200cm 6ft 2in × 6ft 7in\nHeadboards add 8cm to the bed-base length: a 200cm base is 208cm long with the headboard fitted.\nNeed a shorter bed? Adjustable bed bases with a 190cm length are available upon request. Contact us to arrange a 190cm base before ordering. The sizes and packages shown here use the standard 200cm base length.\nImperial measurements are approximate. These are not mattress dimensions. Allow separately for drawer or ottoman opening clearance and your delivery access route. Confirm the selected configuration before ordering.\nBase height options\nAll three heights below include the 5cm feet. Mattress height is additional; base height is not internal storage depth or powered height adjustment.\n37cm 14.6in including feet\n44cm 17.3in including feet\n50cm 19.7in including feet\nSize, storage and height availability depend on the chosen model and configuration.\nMatch the mattress to the movement\nFor independent movement, choose the split mattress arrangement intended for the bed. The king listing describes two 2ft6 mattresses; the super king listing describes two 3ft mattresses. Check mattress length as well as width, and do not buy standard single mattresses solely because the width sounds right.\nThe configurators include an “Add a Mattress” choice and size-specific menus. These include cool-gel, latex, memory and selected pillow-top descriptions, with firmness and edge-support labels varying by option. Split configurations also expose left- and right-side mattress choices.\nDifferent comfort preferences: compare the eligible mattress options for each side of a split bed.\nKeeping a mattress: ask whether its exact construction, dimensions and weight are suitable for the chosen adjustable mechanism and any storage lift.\nChoosing by material: compare the full mattress specification and stated firmness; material names alone do not tell you how firm the mattress will feel.\nChoosing a pillow top: use the product's offered combination and confirm flexibility and overall height. Do not assume every pillow-top mattress works on a profiling base.\nMeasure the finished bed, not just the mattress name\nThe size selectors use labels such as “King Size 5ft2” and “Superking 6ft2”, while the descriptions refer to 5ft and 6ft mattress arrangements. These are not interchangeable measurements. Confirm the finished base width, length, headboard projection and mattress dimensions for the selected build.\nBrowse single , small double , double , king and super king adjustable beds to narrow the range.\nReady-made adjustable bed packages\nCompare six ready-made setups.

Discount not applied automatically.\nAdd This Setup To Basket View Configured Product\nYour pre-order checklist\nMovement: specify profiling, powered storage and height adjustment separately.\nEach sleeper: confirm single or twin operation and the mechanism fitted to each side.\nMattresses: check number, length, width, suitability, firmness and weight.\nRoom and access: measure the finished footprint, drawers or lid opening, stairs, doorways and headboard clearance.\nPower and safety: confirm socket placement, cable routing and what to do during a power failure. Keep moving parts clear and follow the supplied instructions.\nLoads: confirm mechanism and storage limits for your exact configuration.\nComplete price: review the selected bed, mattresses, headboard, upgrades and any delivery, assembly or removal services. A starting price does not describe every pictured feature.\nCommon buying questions\nIs an electric ottoman the same as an adjustable bed? No. Electric ottoman movement opens storage; profiling changes the sleeping position. The All Electric Ottoman Adjustable Bed combines both. Check the specification rather than relying on the word “electric”.\nDo both sides move independently? Only when the chosen configuration provides independent operation. Select the appropriate twin-operation and split-mattress setup. On the height-adjustable model, confirm whether the second side is a fixed, storage or adjustable base and which side has height lifting.\nDoes a 50cm base mean 50cm of storage? No. The base-height options include construction and feet; they are not internal-depth measurements. Ask for the usable compartment dimensions of the selected adjustable bed. The separate matching storage box has its own depth options.\nAre wireless controls and a mattress included? Do not assume so. The menus include wireless upgrades and an optional “Add a Mattress” selection. Check the order summary for the exact included components and any extras.\nWhich model should I start with? Start with Custom Options for a flexible configuration, King or Super King to compare full-width and split sleeping, All Electric Ottoman for powered storage, or Height Adjustable Profiling when platform-height movement is essential. Confirm requirements rather than choosing by product name alone.\nBuild your shortlist around the way you use the bed\nExplore the adjustable-bed range , then compare the final selected options.
