Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the best type of adjustable bed base for me?

  The type of adjustable base that's best for you is dependent on your preference and what features you're looking for. If you want massage functionality, you'll want to invest in the M455 or S655 base. If you're looking for head tilt and underbed lighting, the S655 is the best option for you. View our comparison chart [link] to see the differences and decide which base is best for you.

• What is zero clearance?

  Zero clearance means that your adjustable base will rest flat on the existing bed frame without the legs attached to it. If you are using an upholstered bed frame that has drawers, you'll need a zero-clearance base, so the legs don't sit inside the drawers. All Malouf adjustable bed bases can function in zero clearance mode.

• What is the zero-gravity position?

  Zero gravity raises your head and feet to put you in a neutral sleeping position for deeper, more restorative sleep. It is defined as a state of weightlessness and can provide ultimate comfort for sleeping, watching TV, or relaxing in bed.

• Do I need a Split King size if I'm purchasing an adjustable bed base?

  The size of your base is dependent on preference and whether you are sharing with a partner. We recommend a Split King option because it gives both individuals full control over the way you sleep and helps you get the most out of your adjustable bed base.

• How do I control my adjustable bed base?

  Each Malouf adjustable bed base comes with a sleek remote that allows you to control the way you sleep. The M455 and S655 have Bluetooth® compatibility and can be used with the Malouf Base™ app so you can enjoy features like hands-free Siri voice commands and automatic snore detection. Sleeping smarter has never been this easy.

• How do I control my Split King setup?

  Your Split King sleep system will come with two remotes, one for each side of the bed. Alternatively, the Ascend and Peak sleep systems have Bluetooth® compatibility built into the adjustable bed bases and they can be controlled through the free Malouf Base app.

• What is the weight limit?

  The E255 has a 750-pound weight limit. The M455 and S655 both have 850-pound weight limits.

• Do I need a box spring for my adjustable bed base?

  No. Your mattress can lay directly on top of your adjustable bed base, so you don't have to have the hassle of using a box spring.

• What mattresses are compatible with an adjustable bed base?

  Memory foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses are usually the best choice to use with an adjustable bed base, as they are flexible enough to move with your base. All Malouf mattresses are made to be compatible with an adjustable bed.

• Will my mattress slide off when I elevate my head?

  All Malouf adjustable bases come with retainer bars that sit at the foot of the mattress to ensure it stays in place. As you elevate and adjust your base, your mattress will flex and move based on the position you are selecting but will not move off your bed.

• How can I find sheets for my Split King adjustable bed base?

  All Malouf sheets are available in a Split King option that has two fitted sheets, one flat sheet, and pillowcases, so it is easy for you to upgrade your sleep with everything you need to outfit your new bed.

• Can the height of my adjustable bed base be adjusted?

  The M455 and S655 come with two sets of 3-inch legs and one set of 6-inch legs, giving you the option to adjust the height based on your preferences. The E255 comes with 12-inch legs.

• Are adjustable bases difficult to setup?

  Setup is easy and can be done in less than 15 minutes. We do recommend having two people when setting up your base so it can easily be flipped right side up.

• How long is the adjustable base warranty?

  Our E255 adjustable base has a 10-year warranty, while the M455 and S655 both have 20-year warranties.
