Learn the differences between adjustable mattresses, frames, and smart beds to avoid overpaying for features you don’t need.
Some beds call themselves “adjustable mattresses.” These let you make your bed softer or firmer using air chambers inside. You use buttons or a remote to change how the bed feels.
Other beds are called “smart beds.” These do everything adjustable mattresses do, but they also track your sleep and change settings automatically while you sleep.
For example, the Bryte Balance Pro is a smart bed that knows how you sleep. It can feel your breathing and heartbeat. It moves different parts of the bed to help you sleep better. You can control it with your phone app.
The biggest problem is that many beds sound similar when companies describe them. A regular adjustable mattress needs extra equipment to move up and down. A smart bed can do this all by itself.
Before you buy, ask questions. Make sure you know if you’re getting just an adjustable mattress or a full smart bed. One costs much more than the other.
