Top Features of the Saatva Adjustable Base Plus
As each adjustable bed base has a unique set of features, this review begins by outlining the best ones about the Saatva Adjustable Base Plus. After thorough research, our team agrees that the leading qualities are:
- Wireless remote
- Elevate head and feet independently
- Zero-gravity comfort for balanced, weightless support
- Full-body massage (wave, head, or leg)
- Generous 25-year warranty
- Free assembly
As per Saatva’s US website, the base is designed for customized comfort and enhanced sleep. The intention is to make sleeping easier and provide a place to relax, whether watching TV, reading a book, working, or just lying down. The adjustable base does not come with a mattress, although you can conveniently add a Saatva mattress at checkout.
Construction Details
This bed base is built to incline the head and foot sections of the base independently. The power base does not include a bed frame or mattress, although you can add either to your order from Saatva’s collection, checking for the following compatibility details.
It is compatible with most Saatva bed frames (except Sydney) and all Saatva storage bed frames. If you want to use an existing bed frame, contacting the manufacturer helps you determine if it is compatible with an adjustable base. The Adjustable Base Plus is compatible with many (but not all) Saatva mattresses, including the 11.5-inch Saatva innerspring, Loom & Leaf memory foam, Zenhaven latex, or Solaire adjustable air mattress. If you have another mattress, ask the manufacturer if it is compatible with the adjustable base.
The split king size is split into two units, which means you can configure it so that each side moves independently of the other. That is handy when you want a certain position, and your partner desires a different one. This split king configuration features two twin XL mattresses within the frame.
The metal frame of the Adjustable Base Plus is powder-coated steel. The platform the mattress rests on, which includes Russian birch wood, is covered by gray and black antimicrobial fabric. We confirmed these details by live chat on Saatva’s US site. We like that the colors are neutral so that it matches whatever decor you have in the bedroom. Antimicrobial fabrics reduce mildew, mold, and bacteria for a healthier sleep environment.
Also great is the layer of poly foam that goes around the base’s edges, beneath the fabric. That provides a comfort component with a finished look.
The base has a metal retainer bar that keeps the mattress in place. That’s handy to keep the mattress from sliding when adjusting positions, and for a more stable sleep surface. Finally, the base has four powder-coated steel legs for stability, and they are adjustable for bed height options of 12-17 inches. The legs are also removable.

Saatva Adjustable Base Plus Review: Benefits and Any Limitations
As already mentioned, this base is designed not to shift and slide when moving the head or feet up, thanks to its thoughtful construction. In addition, Saatva makes the Adjustable Base Plus to fit with most bed frames, though we encourage you to contact the frame manufacturer to ensure it is compatible.
Easy to Assemble and Use
Several users online comment on how easy the Adjustable Bed Base Plus is to assemble. That is great news for those who don’t consider themselves handy or want to start setting up the bed right away.
The base comes with a detailed instruction guide. But, if you don’t feel comfortable with the DIY approach, Saatva offers to set it up in your chosen room for free as part of its white glove delivery service. Please note that this offer can change in the future, and we are not responsible for any discrepancies.
In addition to being easy to set up, several buyer reviews describe theAdjustable Base Plus as simple to use. Using the included remote control, you can raise the head and feet of the bed to find a position that is the most comfortable for you. Alternatively, you can use the Leggett & Platt Adjustable Bed Control app on your iPhone or iPad to operate the adjustable base, although it is only on the App Store.
Delivery
While the Adjustable Base Plus does not have a home trial and is not eligible for return or exchange, it comes with Saatva’s white glove delivery service for free in the continental US. This service includes hand-delivering the base to your home and in-room setup, saving you the time and energy of assembling it yourself. If you ordered a Saatva mattress at the same time as the base, they will be delivered and set up together by their white-glove delivery team.
Moving Positions
Being able to raise and lower the head from the foot independently makes the number of angles you can achieve seemingly endless. You can raise the head and not the foot, and vice versa, too. Being able to move the head and feet incrementally enables you to find the exact base angles you want for greater comfort.
Some online explain that the Saatva Adjustable Base Plus moves slowly between positions. There are also buyer reviews that describe the base as quiet and smooth when changing positions, which is more important than speed, for some people. For example, if you sleep with a partner, you likely don’t want to wake up when changing the position. The whisper-soft motor operates discreetly, housed out of plain sight.
Preset Positions
Another feature we like is that you can enter preset positions into the wireless remote. For example, if you find a great position for reading a book, save it as a memory preset in the remote.
There are several preset positions on the remote, which is handy. There are head up, flat, anti-snore, zero-gravity, and memory presets. One touch of a preset button is all it takes to activate it. Certain users will consider the anti-snore and zero-gravity positions well worth it. Anti-snore elevates the head of the base to 7 degrees to help open up airways and potentially reduce snoring. That may improve sleep quality, both for the person who regularly snores and their partner.
Zero-Gravity
This feature shifts the base into a position for balanced, weightless support. The angle of the body is such that it optimizes the body’s weight distribution and may relieve spinal pressure. Some people also find that a zero-gravity position improves circulation.
Massager
Another premium feature of Saatva’s Adjustable Base Plus is that it can massage you. Simply press the buttons in the “Massage” area of the remote for different kinds of massage. There is a head, leg, or full-body wave massage.
Choose from three different speeds. It is a vibration type of massage, rather than having moving parts that press into your body, and it automatically turns off after 15 minutes.
What Else We Like about the Adjustable Base Plus
The zero-clearance design, under-bed LED lights, and long warranty are other great features of the Saatva Adjustable Base Plus. There are USB ports, too.
Zero-Clearance Design
The zero-clearance design is great if you want to use the base without legs on a platform base. If you want to keep your existing headboard, for example, the zero-clearance adjustable base allows you to do so. Being able to add and remove the legs gives you a lot more versatility in setup.
Under-Bed Lights and Remote Flashlight
This is a great-looking feature that has safety benefits. The under-bed lights provide an attractive, soft glow below the base. The light also helps you see if you get up in the middle of the night the path to the bathroom, as does the remote’s built-in flashlight, which helps you avoid falling.
Great Warranty
We are impressed by the lengthy warranty included with the Saatva Adjustable Base Plus. It comes with a 25-year warranty, including full coverage for the first 5 years, as described in the policy. The generous warranty speaks highly of the quality of the base. Please note that Saatva can change this policy in the future, and we are not responsible for any discrepancies.
USB Ports
USB-A and USB-C ports beneath the frame on each side make charging your devices easy. They can charge while you sleep and always be within reach. The USB ports make bedtime easier as you won’t have to reach for an outlet or remember to bring a portable charger to bed.
Value
The Adjustable Base Plus is a great value, in our opinion. You get the handy features mentioned above, including a built-in massager and a long warranty, with a sturdy construction. If you are looking to get a quality adjustable base offering custom comfort, this Saatva model is one to consider.
There’s even a safety lock and unlock function. That prevents accidental button presses. This feature ensures the base won’t unexpectedly move if a button is bumped or pressed unintentionally.
Sizes of the Adjustable Base Plus
Saatva provides a range of sizes. Simply choose one when ordering online and select standard or Upper-Flex (especially for the Solaire Upper-Flex Mattress). Easily pair it with a new compatible mattress, too.
The base sizes available are:
- Twin
- Twin XL
- Full
- Queen
- King
- Split King
- Cal King
- Split Cal King
- Upper-Flex Queen
- Upper-Flex King
Saatva Adjustable Base Plus Review Conclusion

Saatva’s included white glove delivery service means the adjustable base is hand-delivered and set up for you. Enjoy the zero-gravity feature, as well as the massager.
