Not to be dramatic or w/e, but having an adjustable bed base in your bedroom may just change your life. Adjustable beds offer a range of benefits for folks with arthritic problems, post-surgical complications, spine pathology, poor circulation, or difficulty breathing—though really, A-N-Y-O-N-E could experience improved sleep with an adjustable base. And, ofc, you can't experience all the benefits of your new bed unless you get a quality mattress to go along with it. The best mattress for your adjustable bed depends on your size, sleep habits, and personal preferences, but we're here to point you in the right direction.

The most important thing to consider when choosing an adjustable base compatible mattress is its flexibility and durability—but no, you don't need a mattress that's specially made for adjustable bed bases. For your adjustable base, you can use pretty much any mattress that will bend and flex to follow the contour of the base (while still maintaining its support and structural integrity), which is why memory foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses are usually the best choice. If you have an innerspring mattress, it may be too inflexible to deliver a full range of motion. Here's a sneak peek at our faves, ICYWW.

Ahead, all the best mattresses you can buy for your adjustable bed base—and jsyk, the prices listed are for queen-size mattresses, though all these options come in other sizes (including split king!) as well.
