Mattress recommendations for Adjustable Base

Hi Uunderr,

[quote]Any real feedback from people using a similar setup will be appreciated.

  1. Spindle all latex (1 soft, 1 medium)
  2. BB BME (1 soft, 1 medium or 2 mediums) [/quote]

You are certainly looking at two great quality/value options although they are also very different from each other (one is a latex/polyfoam hybrid and the other is an all latex component mattress).

In general terms most foam mattresses (memory foam, latex foam, polyfoam) that aren’t more than about 12" thick will be flexible enough to work well on an adjustable bed. Also in general terms thinner mattresses will tend to be more flexible than thicker mattresses and will contour to the adjustable bed more effectively but this will also depend on the specifics of the mattress layers and components and thickness is only a general guideline. For example latex would tend to be more flexible than polyfoam.

The most reliable source of information about whether any specific mattress would be a suitable choice for an adjustable bed will be a knowledgeable and experienced retailer or the manufacturer that makes the mattress but both of the mattresses you are considering would be a suitable choice for an adjustable bed.

There is more about the pros and cons of a split king mattress in post #8 here and in this topic.

That’s far too broad a question for anyone to be able to answer because there would be hundreds if not thousands of mattresses that will work on an adjustable bed. I would also keep in mind that some mattresses that would work well on an adjustable bed may be a good “match” for you in terms of “comfort”, firmness, and PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and your own personal preferences) and other mattresses that would work well on an adjustable bed may be completely unsuitable for you to sleep on. There will also be a very wide range in terms of the quality and durability of the materials that they use (although both of the mattresses you are considering use high quality and very durable materials).

There is more about the 3 most important parts of “value” of a mattress purchase in post #13 here which can help you make more meaningful quality/value comparisons between mattresses in terms of suitability (how well you will sleep), durability (how long you will sleep well), and the overall value of a mattress compared to your other finalists based on suitability, durability, and all the other parts of your personal value equation that are most important to you (including the price of course and the options you have available after a purchase if your choice doesn’t turn out as well as you hoped for).

If you are looking at online choices then the mattress shopping tutorial also includes several links to lists of many of the better online options I’m aware of (in the optional online step) that include many different types and categories of mattresses with different designs, options, firmness levels, prices, and return/exchange policies.

If you are also considering local options then if you let me know your city or zip code I’d also be happy to let you know about the better options or possibilities I’m aware of in your area as well.
