What is Elevation on an Adjustable Bed?

The elevation feature on an adjustable bed allows the base to angle flat. Glideaway was the first to come up with the elevation feature on an adjustable bed which was not in the style of a hospital bed. Initially, elevation was built into Glideaway beds as a default feature but in 2020, elevation became an optional kit. So if you do not want the elevation feature, the bed can be delivered without this option.
