The ability to integrate a bed frame with an adjustable foundation hinges on its construction and design. Frames intended for this purpose are typically those without solid platforms or low-profile designs that would obstruct the movement of the adjustable base. Examples include metal frames designed specifically to house an adjustable base, as well as some wooden frames with open slat systems that allow for unrestricted articulation.
Selecting a suitable bed frame extends the life and functionality of an adjustable base. It ensures that the features of the base, such as head and foot elevation, massage, and zero-gravity positioning, are not hindered by an incompatible frame. Historically, the adoption of adjustable beds was limited due to frame compatibility issues; however, modern bed frame designs increasingly prioritize accommodating these foundations, leading to greater consumer choice and comfort.
