10 Reasons Why the Layla is the Best Mid-Market Adjustable Bed of 2020

The Layla base is definitely not the most feature-packed adjustable bed in the market. However, not everybody needs the bells and whistles of adjustable beds like the DM9000s or the Plushbeds S755. This is where the Layla comes in to play as  the top rated mid-market electric operated base. Below we have described 10 features of the base that makes it a worthy investment for the buyer.

Q

No Pillow Tilt on the Layla

If you want pillow tilt, you need this model.

Learn More

The Layla does not have Pillow Tilt which we recommend if you will read books, watch TV, work on your laptop/ phone etc. in the seated position. Pillow tilt helps you keep your head/ neck upright and prevents unwanted muscule sprains. This is a rare feature that lacks on the majority of adjustable bases.

1. Chest Tilt

Learn More

Traditionally this was referred to as ‘head’tilt. But we like to call it ‘chest tilt’ because that seems like a more suitable word. This is a basic articulation all adjustable beds have. However, beds with ONLY chest tilt (without pillow tilt), are NOT ideal for sitting up activities like TV watching, reading etc.

Z

2. Foot Tilt

Learn More

Again, this is a very basic articulation all adjustable beds have. Raising the feet helps in relaxing the feet, RLS, certain vascular and neurological disorders etc. etc. Zero gravity and lounging positions also require you to raise the legs.

Z

3. Mattress Retainer Bar

Learn More

Most adjustable beds in the market have only this mattress retainer bar to stop the mattress from sliding down when the head section of the bed is raised. This is great, however, it doesn’t stop sideways movement of the mattress. Also, this bar can interfere when making the bed/ tucking the sheets. The DM9000s has microhooks which stick to the mattress and hold it in place. If you’re satisfied with the mattress retention you get with the microhooks, you’re welcome to just remove the retainer bar altogether.

Q

No Lumbar Support

If you want an lumbar support, you need this model.

Learn More

This is a specialized feature seen only in a handful adjustable frames. As you can guess, this ‘lumbar bar’ adds extra support to your lumbar area. You can move up or down the bed based on where you want the pressure on your back. This bar can be completely turned off or used in increments using the dedicated button on the remote controller.

Z

4. Height adjustable legs

Learn More

Adjustable the leg height to 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 inches depending on how high or low you want your bed.

Z

5. Four USB Ports

Learn More

Each side of the bed has 2 USB ports each to charge all your smart devices like the phone, iPad, headphones etc.

Z

7 & 8. Head and Foot Massage

Learn More

Simply put, this is a soothing vibration coming from two motors in the head and foot regions. The massage can be switched between pulse and rolling wave (a sensation of a rolling wave from head to toe and vice versa). You also have a massage timer option. You can set the massage to automatically turn off after 10, 20 or 30 minutes.

Q

No Furniture-style decking

Learn More

This is purely an aesthetic factor that covers the ‘not so pretty’ metal frames. The majority of the adjustable bed frames don’t have this. With such an elegant deck-on-deck design, you can even use the DM9000s as a standalone bed without placing it inside a wooden frame.

Z

6. Amazing Price

$200 – $400 off on the already low price on this page

Learn More

Obviously, this is NOT a $800 adjustable bed with the basic specs. This is a Top of the Line adjustable frame with every imaginable feature you can find in the 2020 marketplace. First of all, there are NO other models that have such a lot of specs. Secondly, the ones that even come close to this are up to $2800 more expensive than the DM9000s.

Z

7. Anti-skid Mattress Retention

Learn More

The platform of the bed base have velcro-like microhooks built on to it which latch on to the mattress to keep it in place. This is required with adjustable beds because when the bed is raised, the mattress tends to slide down. Traditionally, the mattress was kept from sliding off the bed with a mattress retention bar at the bottom of the bed. The problem here is that this bar gets in the way when you’re tucking the sheets under and on certain models, it ain’t a pretty sight! Microhook/anti-skid mattress retention eliminates the need for the mattress retention bar.

Q

No Wall Hugging

Learn More

This is a must have feature if you use your nightstand/ bed-side table regularly. Most adjustable beds slide forward when they are raised taking you away from the nightstand. This means that you have to reach backwards if you want to reach your reading glasses, coffee, remote, book etc. etc. Reaching back awkwardly can sprain your back and neck muscles. In contrast, adjustable beds with the wall hugging feature glide backwards when the upper body is raised so that you always stay adjacent to the nightstand.

Q

Not Storage/ Platform Bed Friendly (aka Zero-Clearance)

Learn More

On the majority of adjustable beds, you cannot store anything under the bed because the mechanical components that raise and lower the platform stick out under the bed. But a few models like the DM9000s are storage-bed friendly. In other words, you can not only store stuff under this bed, but you can even keep it on the floor or remove the legs and keep it on an existing storage bed.

Z

8. Three Customizable Memory Positions

Learn More

There are three customizable memory positions which you can program to whichever position you want. You can program these 3 positions to a specific TV watching position, an anti-snore position, a slightly elevated sleeping position, lounging position etc. etc. Even though the manufacturer has set a zero gravity position, you’re free to customize that as you wish.

Z

9. Two Preset Memory Positions

Learn More

There are two manufacturer preset memory positions including the zero-gravity and flat positions.

Z

10. 30-Night Money Back Warranty

Learn More

To our knowledge, this is the ONLY adjustable bed frame that offers such a 30 day money back guarantee. All the other companies offer the money back guarantee only with the mattress and not the adjustable base.

Q

No Built-in Bluetooth Speakers

Learn More

To our knowledge, this is the only adjustable bed frame with a built-in Bluetooth speaker. Simply connect/ pair your smartphone to the Bluetooth enabled speakers and play your favorite music to relax and unwind at the end of a strenuous day!

Q

No Under-bed Lighting

Learn More

Not the most advanced feature on the bed, nevertheless can be extremely helpful especially if you or your partner makes frequent bathroom visits at night. Simply turn these lights on using the button on the remote controller to light up the floor without waking your partner up. You can turn it off once you return to bed and your partner won’t even know you’re back (or you left) !
