  • Blog
  • October 15, 2019

Take your bed from ordinary to extraordinary with an adjustable base. My adjustable beds feature a variety of fun options that will instantly power up your existing bed. Say goodbye to having to hunt around the house for extra pillows to support your back while watching your favorite show.

My adjustable bases will provide the support you need with just a touch of a button. And that’s just one of the many benefits of an adjustable bed. Read on dear friend, I know you’re intrigued!

1. Compatible with Most Beds

Contrary to some misconceptions out there, an adjustable bed doesn’t have to be a giant eyesore in the middle of your bedroom. You can enjoy the functionality of an adjustable bed without having to see the frame. My Power Bob Essential and Power Bob Elite Adjustable Bases are compatible with any bed. They fit perfectly with platform beds, storage beds and any traditional beds. 

My Power Bob Ultra Adjustable Base fits with any traditional bed.

2. Voice-Activated Control

You climb into bed after a long day, already half asleep and ready to go to bed–then you realize you left the remote on the other side of the room. With the voice-activated control on my Power Bob Ultra Adjustable Base, that’s not a problem. Just simply say, “Hey Bob, head up” or, “Hey Bob, foot up” and your head or feet will instantly elevate. Sorry, “Hey Bob, take the dog out for a walk” is not a recognized command!

3. Compromise in Comfort: Dual Control

Probably the two biggest pain points I hear from couples when they’re shopping for mattresses is snoring (see above) and then agreeing on a sleep style. Well, with a dual control adjustable base bed you don’t have to compromise. You can set your head for a slight incline while your partner has their side fully elevated. Two twin XL adjustable beds placed side-by-side are the same size as a king bed while also working independently so each person can find their ideal comfort zone.

4. Your Own Massage Session

Do you know what’s better than relaxing on a comfy mattress? Relaxing on a comfy mattress while getting a massage! My Power Bob Ultra features a massage function that will help you relax and unwind.

5. Tilt-Up and Tune In

With just a touch of a button, you can instantly raise your head for an optimal viewing position so you don’t have to waste time trying to find extra pillows to prop up your back. My Power Bob Ultra has an automatic head tilt that helps adjust your sightline so you’re not staring at the ceiling. The head raising function also works great for reading in bed or catching up on those late-night emails.

6. The Soundtrack of Sleep

Nothing helps me fall asleep better than some relaxing music. I just like to lie in bed and dream up my next latest and greatest version of Bob-O-Pedic Memory Foam. But if I’ve left my portable speaker downstairs, the sound from my phone just isn’t as good. Luckily, my Power Bob Ultra has built-in Bluetooth speakers that work with most mobile devices. It’s like a concert in your own bed, without thousands of screaming fans!

7. Welcome to the Snore-Free Zone

Ever wish you had a magic button that would stop your partner from snoring? Well, I may not be able to pull a rabbit out of my hat, but I did create an anti-snore position for my Power Bob Elite and Power Bob Ultra Adjustable Beds. The anti-snore position elevates the head to help alleviate snoring. Sorry, I did not create a “help us decide what to watch on TV” button! Maybe in my next model.

8. Helps with Circulation

With the touch of a button, you can control the elevation of your legs. Elevating your legs can help with circulation. 

9. Helps with Acid Reflux

Adjustable bases allow you to elevate your head at the touch of a button. This can help people who are dealing with acid reflux. WebMD suggests raising the head of your bed at least 4 to 6 inches to help manage acid reflux.

10. Zero-Gravity

Short of taking a trip to space, most of us will never experience the total feeling of weightlessness. The Zero-Gravity setting on my Power Bob Ultra and Power Bob Elite creates a cradle position that helps take the weight off your back. Just simply press the ZG button and prepare to relax.

11. Under-bed Lighting

We’ve all been there before. It’s the middle of the night, you’re half asleep and you stumble out of bed for a quick glass of water. Since the room is dark, you don’t notice the toy your child left perfectly placed in your footpath…until you step on it. My Power Bob Ultra Adjustable Base and Power Bob Elite have LED under-bed lighting so you’ll never have to stumble in the middle of the night again. The Power Bob Ultra even features multiple lighting colors.

12. Memory Foam Mattresses

My Bob-O-Pedic Memory Foam Mattresses are perfect for adjustable beds because they are flexible. It’s like the best of both worlds: you get the convenience of an adjustable bed and the comfort of a Memory Foam mattress. 

Want more of a traditional hybrid feel? Don’t worry, many of my hybrid mattresses work well with an adjustable bed too!

I consider myself the luckiest spokespuppet ever because I get to talk about the thing I love the most everyday – furniture! Tufted headboards, rustic finishes, the difference between a sofa and a couch (yes, there is a difference)… I could go on and on. Oh, I just love furniture and I’m SO excited that I have this blog to share my passion with you! It may take me a little longer to create posts – have you ever tried typing with clay hands – but I look forward to talking furniture with you!
