If you’re thinking about purchasing an adjustable bed, you’ll find there are now many models available to suit different comfort, lifestyle and mobility needs. Modern electric beds have evolved significantly from the old-style hospital beds of the past, offering improved comfort, quieter operation and a wide choice of styles and finishes.
Knowing what to look for before you buy is essential. Factors such as bed type, size, budget, mattress compatibility and additional features all play an important role. Our Bed Buying Guide explains these considerations in more detail and is a helpful place to start your research.
What to Look for When Buying an Electric Bed
To help you make a confident decision, we’ve put together some key points to consider when choosing an electric adjustable bed. Taking time to understand your options will help ensure you select a bed that supports both your comfort and long-term wellbeing.
Delivery and Assembly of Your New Adjustable Bed
Before purchasing your new adjustable bed, it’s important to consider how it will be delivered and whether it requires assembly in your home.
At Dalzell’s of Markethill, we pride ourselves on our customer service and offer free delivery and assembly on all of our adjustable electric beds. This service is particularly valuable for customers with mobility concerns or those living alone, helping to remove the stress of moving and assembling a heavy bed.
We also hold good stock levels, so in many cases you won’t have to wait long for your adjustable bed to be delivered and set up in your home.
Special Mattresses and Adjustable Bed Features
When choosing an electric bed, it’s worth thinking about the features you may need and the type of adjustable mattress that will work best with an adjustable base. Many modern adjustable beds include intuitive handset controls, making them ideal for users with limited mobility or those who need extra positional support.
Optional safety features such as cot sides or rails can be added if required, while extras like massage units can help reduce pressure points and encourage better circulation. Easy-to-use remote controls are especially important for users with limited hand strength or dexterity.
If the bed is for two people, dual-control adjustable beds allow each side to operate independently, helping to reduce partner disturbance. Many manufacturers also offer a wide selection of compatible mattresses.
Types of Electric Adjustable Beds
Electric adjustable beds are now available in a wide range of designs, sizes and finishes, allowing you to personalise your bed to suit both your comfort needs and your bedroom décor.
With luxurious upholstery finishes, a choice of mattress and base options, and a variety of sizes available, Mi-Bed and Adjust-A-Bed combine market-leading adjustable technology with refined styling.
Warranty and Peace of Mind
After taking delivery of your new adjustable bed, reliability and peace of mind are key considerations. Most adjustable bed manufacturers now provide warranties, although coverage can vary between brands and models.
Some warranties may apply to electrical components and mechanisms for a set period, while others offer more comprehensive protection. It’s always advisable to check warranty details in advance so you know exactly what is covered.
At Dalzell’s, our trained team is happy to guide you through warranty options before you buy.
