Best Overall Adjustable Base

Bed manufacturers have taken note to the shout out from consumers seeking more from their beds then a mere place to catch some sleep. After working to create the best memory foam mattress to enhance sleep, bedding companies are now adding an adjustable base to create a total sleep center experience.

GhostBed has developed an adjustable base that stands up against the much more pricey Amerisleep adjustable base. Comparing GhostBed’s low price for its quality, plus a lifetime warranty, and easy delivery and the GhostBed base certainly comes out the victor compared to the Amerisleep adjustable base.

Amerisleep follows in the footsteps of more expensive bed brands with the option of a white glove setup service, otherwise your base will be left at the curb. The 2-3-week shipping wait, along with the unnerving curbside delivery, of the Amerisleep adjustable base alone makes it lag way behind the quick arriving at your door GhostBed adjustable base. One must wait for a delivery truck to arrive and then struggle to carry the Amerisleep, up to 700 pounds, base from the curb into the home, or pay an extra $399 white glove setup fee. No need to be home to receive the GhostBed base as it will be placed at the door ready for one to easily bring right into the abode.

If you do not mind spending hundreds of dollars more and wait weeks for delivery of an adjustable base that you will then have to carry from the curb, or pay even more for a special delivery, then go with Amerisleep. For those who want wonderful comfort and construction quality with luxury extras, like massage and USB ports, for a very reasonable cost then the GhostBed base is the overall winner.

I. Price

Amerisleep may offer one bed size option more, with its full-size submission, but it certainly lags behind in providing your money’s worth compared to GhostBed. Research has led GhostBed to conclude that consumers who seek to buy an adjustable base are adults who favor three sizes: Twin XL, Queen, and the split king (combining two twin XL’s).

With Amerisleep charging from double to three times the price of the affordable GhostBed, it is clear why the GhostBed adjustable base is the winner for price comparison.

Amerisleep does have Apple and Android app control abilities for extra features not on the remote.

GhostBed specifically notes its base usage of a common 110 volts plug with a battery backup to get bed back to flat position in case of power outage.

For the cost Amerisleep charges for its adjustable base it should have all the bells and whistles that are added with its app capabilities. Factor in GhostBed’s cost-effective price and the GhostBed adjustable base definitely-proves to be a winner for construction and capabilities.

III. Comfort
