Non-zero clearance versus zero clearance: Adjustable bed bases vary. You can use some with existing platform beds, while others are standalone pieces incompatible with existing bed frames. Zero clearance adjustable bed  are compatible with the platform panels of your bed. They are a better option if you like your current bed and want to keep it the same. Zero-clearance bases do not have moving pieces underneath; as such, you can use this room for storage.

On the other hand, Non-zero clearance bases are standalone beds incompatible with an existing bed frame. They have their own legs and require space underneath to move and operate. As such, you cannot use the space under the bed for anything else. Even so, you can still use non-zero clearance bases with current bed frames by removing the center slats so that the adjustable bed base legs can rest on the floor.

Zero gravity: Zero gravity adjustable bed bases support a person resting their body in a neutral position, just like some lawn chairs. The head is lifted to rest above the heart while the legs are bent at the knees to that the torso and thighs are evenly angled from the hips. This creates a weightless feeling which is a comfortable sleeping position for some.

Warranty: Most adjustable bed bases have electrical parts that may stop working along the way. Therefore, it’s important to check the warranty of each bed base before purchase.
