Adjustable Beds Canada 2025: What's Changed This Year

The adjustable bed market has shifted in 2025. Smart technology is more accessible, prices have stabilized, and Canadian buyers have more options than ever. Here's what's actually new and what matters for your purchase decision.

2025 Market Trends

The smart mattress market reached $2.1 billion globally in 2025. That investment is showing up in features:

• AI-driven adjustments: Some high-end bases now detect sleep position and adjust automatically
• Sleep tracking integration: Bases that sync with health apps to provide sleep data
• Voice control: Integration with Alexa and Google Home for hands-free adjustment
• Temperature zones: Heating and cooling built into some premium bases

Whether these features justify their cost depends on how much you value technology versus simplicity.

What Canadian Buyers Are Actually Choosing

Despite the tech push, most Canadian buyers still prioritize:

1. Reliable head and foot elevation
2. Quiet motors
3. Good warranty coverage
4. Reasonable price ($1,000-1,500 range)

The gadgets are nice, but fundamentals matter more for nightly use.

Canadian-Specific Considerations

Winter Performance

Some motors perform differently in cold temperatures. If your bedroom gets cold during the day (you turn heat down while at work), quality motors handle the temperature swing better than budget options.

Delivery Logistics

Shipping adjustable bases across Canada is expensive. Local retailers with their own delivery teams often provide better service and competitive pricing compared to online-only options that ship from warehouses.

Warranty Service

A 20-year warranty means nothing if the company doesn't exist or won't service Canada. Buying from established Canadian retailers ensures someone local can help if something goes wrong.

Price Points in 2025

Prices have remained relatively stable:

• Budget ($400-700): Basic functionality, 1-3 year warranties
• Mid-range ($800-1,500): Best value for most buyers
• Premium ($1,500-2,500): Advanced features, longer warranties
• Luxury ($2,500+): Smart technology, premium materials

Split king setups (two bases for independent control) cost roughly double.

Features That Matter in 2025

Wall-Hugging Design

When the head raises, the mattress slides back, keeping your nightstand within reach. This used to be premium-only; now it's available in mid-range bases.

USB Charging Ports

Convenient for charging phones at night without reaching to wall outlets. Standard on most bases now.

Under-Bed Lighting

Motion-activated lights that help you see when getting up at night. Particularly useful for seniors or anyone making frequent bathroom trips.

Zero-Gravity Preset

One-button access to the position that takes pressure off your spine. Most bases include this now.

Features You Can Skip

Built-In Massage

Almost everyone uses this twice then forgets about it. Save the money unless massage is specifically why you're buying.

Bluetooth Speakers

Your phone does this better. These add cost without adding value.

Complex App Control

A well-designed remote works better than fumbling with an app at 2 AM. Apps are nice extras, not necessities.

Mattress Compatibility

Your mattress must flex with the base. Compatible options include:

• Hybrid mattresses
• Memory foam mattresses
• Latex mattresses
• Most bed-in-a-box mattresses

Traditional innerspring with connected coils generally doesn't work.

The 2025 Buying Decision

If you're buying an adjustable base in 2025:

1. Set a realistic budget ($1,000-1,500 for quality)
2. Focus on motor quality and warranty over gadgets
3. Consider split king if you and your partner have different needs
4. Factor in mattress replacement if yours isn't compatible
5. Buy from someone who can service the warranty locally
