The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
We’ve researched, tested, and slept on nontoxic mattresses and bed frames for years — these are our picks for adjustable options that are safe, supportive, and comfortable, too.
Do you ever wake up with a crick in your neck? Or a sore shoulder? How about an arm or leg that’s gone numb? (That’s me all the time.) Or maybe you’re dealing with lower back pain that just won’t go away. You might even have a fantastic mattress while you’re dealing with these issues. It turns out that an adjustable bed frame can be just the ticket for a comfortable, painless night’s sleep.
Adjustable beds aren’t just for visits to the hospital — they can help with all sorts of nighttime discomforts anyone might experience, including snoring. Below, we’ve rounded up our top picks for adjustable beds from our favorite sustainable brands. That way, you can ensure you’re bringing a nontoxic product that was produced ethically into your bedroom.
What should you look for when shopping for adjustable mattresses and bed frames?
When shopping for an adjustable bed frame, look for a trusted brand — especially one you’ve been satisfied with before, or that has plenty of good reviews. Good customer service is invaluable, especially with high-ticket purchases like adjustable bed frames and mattresses.
Adjustable bed frames work with your existing mattress — just place it on top of the frame and secure it with the included safety bar. Most beds below come in split king options, which must be paired with two twin XL mattresses. And most of the bed frames on this list work either on their own as the only bed frame with your mattress, or, if you remove the legs, as a companion for your existing platform bed frame.
Who should consider an adjustable sleeping option?
People with frequent joint, back, or neck pain while sleeping, along with those who often wake to numbness in limbs or digits, can all benefit from an adjustable sleeping option. Adjustable beds, in their split king forms, are also excellent for couples who need different sleeping situations to both remain comfortable. And the massage functions on adjustable beds can be helpful for those with insomnia. The beds are great for anyone, even those without sleep issues—they make it easier to read, watch TV, or work from bed in a relaxing position that won’t hurt your neck or back.
Why consider a nontoxic and organic mattress and bed frame?
The bedroom is one of the most sacred spaces in our lives — and it’s also the space where we most heavily prioritize nontoxic products, since we spend so much time directly exposed to our mattresses and bedding. When shopping for mattresses and bed frames, we look for brands with third-party sustainability certifications to ensure nontoxic final products that are good for our health, and also the health of the planet. We keep an eye out for B Corp certifications and memberships in organizations like the Sustainable Furnishings Council. And Greenguard Gold, Oeko Tex, and organic certs like GOLS all ensure safer final products free of harmful chemicals.
Our criteria:
Our editors have outfitted their bedrooms with nontoxic and organic mattresses and bed frames, researched certifications and interviewed brands, and even visited factories to determine the most supportive sleeping options for you. When selecting the best adjustable options, our top considerations are safety, sustainability, and long-term value. We often revisit this guide to add new picks when they meet the criteria below.
- SUSTAINABLE / ECO-FRIENDLY | Made with natural, organic, recycled, and responsibly sourced materials, these adjustable bedframes and mattresses are low-impact and better for both our indoor environment and our planet. The materials and thoughtful production practices mean our choices are also durable and will maintain their integrity for years.
- NONTOXIC / ORGANIC | We’ve chosen mattresses and bedframes that have certifications ensuring they use safe materials and no harsh chemicals are applied in the process. None of the options on this list contain flame retardants, and all are free from PFAS, VOCs, and fiberglass.
- DURABILITY | Nothing second-rate here. We’ve selected brands that have a track record for making comfortable and supportive furniture and beds, with warranties that guarantee their construction.

1. Avocado
Best For |Adjustable beds from a B Corp
Adjustable settings | Head and/or foot elevation, massage, anti-gravity, anti-snore, lumbar support
Sustainable materials | GOTS-certified cotton canvas, acacia wood legs
Price (Queen) |$1,449
Avocado has been a favorite brand here at The Good Trade for years for its impressive array of third-party certifications — they’re a B Corp, and they’re a member of 1% for the Planet and the Climate Label (formerly Climate Neutral). They made two adjustable bed frames, one of which is the perfect combination between sustainability and affordability. The Eco Adjustable Base is a simple, pared-down base with all the essentials: a remote control that adjusts the head and foot elevations or turns on the special anti-gravity, zero snore, or massage functions (the remote even has a flashlight setting). The minimalistic base, with an organic cotton canvas platform and acacia wood legs, pairs well with your existing headboard or bed frame. Avocado also makes an Eco Plus Adjustable Base with a more robust profile and more customization options like upper and lower body lumbar adjustment.
Customer Review | “The crew sent out to set it up were wonderful! They made sure everything was working before they left. The base makes it so easy to keep upright at night – no more messy piles of pillows to collapse and disappear during the night! The base fits perfectly inside my 200 year old iron bed frame.” – Carmel T. (Read more reviews.)
2. Saatva
Best For | A compatible adjustable mattress
Adjustable settings | Head and/or foot elevation, massage, anti-gravity, anti-snore
Price (Queen) |$1,245
Saatva is known for their luxury mattresses made in America — but their adjustable bed frames are some of our favorites. Their Saatva Adjustable Base has a whisper-quiet motor as it raises both your head and your feet, a zero-clearance design so you can use it without legs on platform bases, and a wireless remote control. The Saatva Adjustable Base Plus kicks it up a notch (or a few notches, rather) with the addition of USB-A and USB-C ports underneath the frame for convenient bedside charging, anti-snore and anti-gravity functions, a full body massage function, and under-bed LED lights that make it easier to see at night. Saatva also makes an adjustable mattress that’s compatible with their adjustable bases and that has 50 precise firmness settings you can change at the touch of a button, And Saatva shares plenty of transparent details regarding their eco-friendly practices. Their factories across the US use solar power and recycle all wood, plastic & foam scraps from manufacturing, and they’re a member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council.
Customer Review | “I love, love my new bed! I got the power base plus and the classic mattress. I sleep with the zero gravity every night and it is the most comfortable bed I ever slept on. I didn’t think I would use the under bed light, but I do now, when I have to get up in the night it’s just enough light to see by without being disturbing.” – Susan L. (Read more reviews.)
3. Silk & Snow
Best For | Three options, from affordable to luxe
Adjustable settings | Head and/or foot elevation, zero gravity, anti-snore, massage, lumbar support, TV preset

Silk & Snow’s Adjustable Bed comes in three models: Core, Enhanced, and Premier. Each one has a slim profile that works either on its own with the adjustable legs or paired with any of their bed frames. Their Core model, the most affordable, comes with four presets—zero gravity, anti-snore, TV, and lounge — along with control by a wireless remote or phone app, a retainer bar to keep your mattress secure, and a child lock. Their Enhanced version adds on a USB charging port and massage and lumbar support settings, and the Premier one also adds on underbed lighting. Made of a sturdy metal frame, wool batting, and a cotton cover, the beds are made with no synthetic materials, and they’re Oeko Tex Standard 100 certified.

Customer Review | “We LOVE our new adjustable split king bed! We will NEVER go back. Best sleep EVER!!! We decided to upgrade to the Enhanced model, but have since realized we probably could have just stuck with the Core model… the App (for your phone) to control the bed is KEY!! You can link both bases to the App, so if your partner is snoring, it’s a quick touch on your phone to set their bed to anti-snore (you can also set the App to do this automatically)” – Kim Y.
