Craftmatic - Remember Those TV Ads?
Hello, folks curious about Craftmatic beds! Remember those late-night TV commercials with the adjustable beds? You've come to the right place for an honest look. At Mattress Miracle in Brantford, we've been helping Canadian families navigate adjustable bed options for over 37 years, and we get asked about Craftmatic all the time.
Let's dive into what Craftmatic actually offers and how it stacks up against other options.
What's the Deal with Craftmatic?
Here's something we've learned after decades in the business: Craftmatic beds are basically motorized sleep systems that let you adjust head and foot positions with a remote. They started in the medical world and moved into regular consumer sales - mostly through those TV ads you've probably seen.
The thing about Craftmatic is they sell directly through reps and TV advertising. You won't find them in regular furniture stores. That's both good and bad, as we'll get into. If you want to see all your adjustable bed options, check out our complete adjustable beds guide. And honestly, our adjustable bed selection gives you way more options to actually compare.
Talia's Modern Sleep Science Take
"The research really supports elevation for acid reflux - 7-10 degrees can reduce symptoms by up to 65%. Craftmatic does offer this positioning, but so do most quality adjustable beds. The key is finding the right combination of features for your specific needs." Want to see all the best options? Our reviews guide covers everything, and our queen adjustable beds give couples more options.

Brad's Owner Perspective
"After 37 years in this business, I've learned that direct sales often means higher prices because of those sales commissions. We've seen customers surprised by the total cost once you add delivery, setup, and warranty. That's why we believe in transparent pricing - you know exactly what you're paying and why."

Canadian consumers have access to adjustable beds through furniture stores, mattress retailers, and specialty sleep shops. These alternatives often provide:

Canadian Considerations for Craftmatic Beds
Warranty and Service
Craftmatic provides warranty coverage in Canada, but service availability can vary by region. Urban centres typically have better access to technicians and replacement parts.
Delivery and Setup
Craftmatic includes delivery and setup in most packages. However, rural Canadian locations may face additional charges or extended delivery times.
Provincial Health Coverage
Some provinces may provide partial coverage for medically necessary adjustable beds. Check with your provincial health plan and obtain proper medical documentation if seeking coverage.
Matt's Technical Analysis
"From a medical standpoint, Canadian healthcare does recognize adjustable beds for sleep apnea, GERD, chronic pain, and mobility issues. What most people don't realize is that proper documentation is key for insurance claims - regardless of which brand you choose. The medical benefit comes from the function, not the brand name."

Craftmatic beds Canada are available nationwide, though service and delivery options may vary in remote areas. Major cities have the most comprehensive support networks.

What happens if the power goes out?
Craftmatic beds include manual emergency lowering procedures. However, regular position changes require electrical power to operate the motors.
