How to build your bed

Choose the base first, then the mattress

An adjustable bed is two decisions, not one. The base sets how the bed moves and how it looks in your room. The mattress sets how it feels when you lie on it. Get them in that order and the rest is straightforward.

1

Start with the base

This is the frame, the movement and the look. Choose it around how you want the bed to work and how much space you have.

  • Back and leg movement on every base
  • Zero gravity and five part movement on selected frames
  • Weight capacity from 25 up to 50 stone
  • Underbed storage, leg heights or a high low lifter
  • Any fabric, any size, made to order

2

Then choose the mattress

Every mattress we make is built to bend with the base. Choose it around how you sleep, not how it looks.

  • Memory and Memory Hybrid for pressure relief
  • Pocket for support that works side by side
  • Cool Gel if you sleep warm
  • Latex for responsive, allergy friendly comfort
  • Natural for wool, cotton and traditional fillings

Our story

Thirty years of making adjustable beds in Britain

I was tired of watching people pay too much for too little, and of seeing these beds sold on fear instead of comfort.

John learned the trade in a family that has been making furniture here since 1968. He started selling adjustable beds in 1992, when almost nobody in this country had heard of them, and was among the first to bring them to the British high street. For years he built the beds that well known names sold under their own labels.

He designed those frames himself, and he still does. Everything is made in our own factory in the West Midlands, the complete adjustable frame, by people we know rather than bought in and badged. That is rare now. Most adjustable beds sold here are assembled from parts made somewhere else.

Motion Beds exists to sell those same beds direct and honestly. The price is on the page, a real person answers the phone, and there is no middleman's markup in between. Every bed is backed for fifteen years on the frame, and if it does not suit you, you have 30 days to send it back.

Them versus us

Most adjustable beds sold in Britain are assembled from parts made somewhere else, sold at a price nobody will put in writing. Here is how we differ.
