Leggett & Platt Prodigy 2.0 Comfort Elite Adjustable Bed Review
If you’re on this page, the chances are that you already know how special the Leggett & Platt Comfort Elite is. One of the key specialties of this bed is it’s feature known as ‘Lumbar Support’. For this reason, it is often referred to as the best adjustable bed for back pain.
10 Major Strengths of the Leggett & Platt Prodigy 2.0 Comfort Elite Adjustable Bed
Lumbar Support
This is what makes the Prodigy 2.0 Comfort Elite the best adjustable bed for back pain.
More Info
The main secret behind the popularity of this model is the feature known as Lumbar Support. Lumbar support provides extra support to the lower back region and can help relieve lower back pain.
4 Customizable Memory Positions
Most other models give you only up to 2 customizable memory positions
More Info
2 Customizable Memory Positions on the wireless remote and an additional 2 Customizable Memory Positions via the Prodigy CE App
2 Built-in Memory Positions
One-touch Anti-Snore and Flat buttons on the remote controller
More Info
Instead of having to press the pillow tilt, head tilt, full tilt buttons multiple times, press the anti-snore or flat button just once to save time and energy.
8 USB Ports
Two 4-port hubs either side of the bed
More Info
In the rare event that you and your spouse has as many as 8 USB charging devices 
Microhook Mattress Retention
Eliminates the need for messy mattress retention bars
More Info
Traditionally, adjustable beds were fixed with a mattress retention bar at the foot of the bed to prevent the mattress from slipping down when the head of the bed is raised up. The only problem with the mattress retention bar was that it was cumbersome to work the bed sheets behind it.
The microhook system introduced by Leggett & Platt eliminates the need for a mattress retention bar as the microhook region is able to stick to the mattress and hold it in place. The Prodigy Comfort Elite adjustable base comes with 2 microhook retention strips, one at the bottom of the bed and the other at the mid region of the base. They do a great job of keeping the mattress from slipping away.
Independent Pillow Tilting
Other beds have ‘dependent’ pillow tilting. But the Comfort Elite has ‘independent’ pillow tilting.
More Info
There are dozens of adjustable beds with Pillow Tilting. But the Pillow Tilting on the Prodigy 2.0 Elite Comfort is like no other. It has ‘independent’ pillow tilting. In other words, you can raise or lower the pillow tilt ‘independent’ of the head tilt. On most other beds with pillow tilting, it is ‘dependent’ on the head tilt. The Pillow Tilt will only start to rise once the ‘Head Tilt’ is maximally raised. Basically, there is one button for both head and pillow tilt.
In contrast, with independent pillow tilting, there is a dedicated button on the remote for the pillow tilt. This way, you can even raise your head and neck while the rest of the bed is completely flat. That is something you cannot do with ‘dependent’ pillow tilting!
Wall Hugging
An industry leader in wall hugging
More Info
While the Comfort Elite raises itself, it simultaneously slides back towards the headboard so that the sleeper stays close to the night stand. The Prodigy Comfort Elite typically slides back about 10-12 inches.
In contrast, some adjustable beds out there that call themselves wall hugger models move back only a few inches and therefore you still end up in front of the night stand.
However, note that if you put on a thick 15 inch mattress, however, much the wall hugging takes you back, you’ll invariably end up away from the night stand!
Adjustable Height Legs
Adjust leg height from 6 – 10 inches
More Info
At 6 inch leg height, the height of the adjustable base, excluding the mattress, would be 14 inches.
At 10 inch leg height, the height of the adjustable base, excluding the mattress, would be 18 inches. And a 14 inch mattress to the already 18 inch bed frame and you have a 32 inch height bed. If you are only 5’4″ like me, 32 inches is way too tall.
Remember to set your legs to the shortest setting and to buy a thin mattress if you are as short as I am… No pun intended!!
Full Body Massage
Two dedicated motors for head and foot massage
More Info
A relaxing massage at the end of the day not only relieves the tensed muscles, but also improves blood circulation from head to toe for overall better health. The Prodigy Comfort Elite has both pulse and wave massage functions.
However, be aware that the thicker the mattress the less effective the massage functions will be.
Miscellaneous Features
In addition to these major features, the Prodigy CE has the following important features.
More Info
- Gently Waking Alarm
- Sleep Timer
- Smart bed with Bluetooth
- Under-bed lighting
- Safety Child Lock
- 850-lb. lift capacity, whisper quiet motors

Major Deficiencies of the Leggett and Platt Prodigy Comfort Elite Base Base
Not the Cheapest of Adjustable Beds
Luxury of this level don’t come cheap
More Info
Leggett and Platt Prodigy Comfort Elite adjustable base has almost everything you can expect from a modern adjustable bed. That is exactly why the bed doesn’t come cheap.
On top of that, the bed is made in the USA by the irony of adjustable beds Leggett and Platt. This combination is what makes this bed an expensive one.
Is a Foundation-style Adjustable Base
This is not a Furniture-style Adjustable Base
More Info
If you already have a wooden bed frame and you intend to place this adjustable bed inside that wooden frame, the Foundation-style Prodigy Comfort Elite works just fine.
However, if you want to use the newly bought adjustable bed as a standalone bed, you might want to consider purchasing a Furniture-style adjustable base like this one.
No Elevation Lift
Can still be effective against acid reflux.
More Info
Elevation lift is a relatively new feature introduced to the adjustable bed market. At the time of writing, this feature is specifically available on the brand of adjustable beds known as Glideaway.

Not Feather-weight
160 to 330 lbs depending on the size of bed
More Info
- Twin XL size: 160+ lbs
- Queen size: 190+ lbs
- Split King: nearly 330 lbs
