Description
It’s 2 a.m. and you’ve rearranged three pillows behind your back for the fourth time. Lying flat feels wrong, propping yourself up feels worse, and the pillows keep sliding. For a lot of people with back aches or restless nights, the problem isn’t the mattress at all. It’s the angle.
The Saatva Adjustable Base Plus replaces your foundation or box spring with a motorized frame. The head lifts up to 58 degrees and the foot up to 44 degrees, separately, from a wireless remote or the Leggett & Platt Adjustable Bed Control app on iPhone or iPad.
The positions that matter at night
- Zero gravity raises your legs and upper body together, a position many people with lower-back aches find easier to settle into than flat.
- A 7-degree head raise is a small, one-touch lift for people who just want their head a little higher.
- Memory saves the angle you like, so you aren’t hunting for it with the buttons every night.
There’s also a head, full-body wave and foot/leg vibration massage with three intensities and a 15-minute auto shut-off, plus under-bed LED lighting and USB-A and USB-C ports on each side. The remote has a flashlight and a safety lock.
Couples who sleep differently
The Split King and Split Cal King versions let each side move on its own. Upper-Flex Queen and King versions raise each head section separately, but they only pair with Saatva’s Upper-Flex mattresses.
Read this before ordering
- Each base is made to order, and Saatva does not accept returns or exchanges on them.
- Saatva lists compatible mattresses as the Classic (11.5-inch height only), Contour5, Latex Hybrid, Zenhaven, Solaire, Memory Foam Hybrid, Rx and HD. Check any other mattress with its maker.
- It won’t work with Saatva’s Sydney frame, storage beds or platform beds with drawers, and very thick upholstered headboards may get in the way. The zero-clearance design does let it sit on a plain platform without legs.
- Total weight capacity is 850 lb. The warranty is 25 years limited, with full coverage for the first 5.
- If you’re pregnant or have an implanted medical device, check with your doctor before using the vibration massage.
Back pain that wakes you every night, or comes with numbness, weakness or fever, deserves a proper look from a clinician, not just a new bed angle.
