Can you use any adjustable base with a sleep number mattress.

Choosing a base for your sleep number bed isn t as difficult as it seems. A sleep number mattress requires a firm solid surface to provide a comfortable sleeping surface. Follow these tips for success. Our flexfit adjustable bases may be compatible with your existing sleep number mattress.

Place the base inside any bed frame with center support when not used with the optional frame. A platform bed or a bunkie board is best for the sleep number bed with slats two inches apart. Also don t use a traditional box spring as an alternative for your bed s base because it cannot provide proper support to the adjustable mattress. Usually memory foam latex foam traditional innerspring and air beds fit the bill.

A stylish frame must be used when attaching sleep number headboard brackets to an integrated base. Frames with slats don t offer enough support and could damage the bottom of the mattress. The ideal mattress for an adjustable base can bend and flex while maintaining its structural integrity. These are essentially air mattresses.

A traditional box spring won t work with a sleep number mattress. Adjustable bases can be added to many types of mattresses especially if the mattress was manufactured in the last five years. Not planning to use a sleep number base. We recommend a solid surface platform bed or slats no more than 2 inches apart.
