Twin Adjustable Bed Buyer's Guide

What is a Twin Adjustable Bed?


A Twin adjustable bed is a bed measuring 38”x75” that can achieve various positions. These beds allow the head and/or feet to be lifted to different degrees, so that you can adjust for comfort. Many Twin adjustable beds also have other built-in features, such as massage, that bring more to the sleep experience. The Twin size bed is a very common adjustable bed for seniors and single sleepers. These users usually do not need a very wide bed. Its petite size is actually a benefit as well as it takes up less bedroom space. Another similar size base is the Twin XL which has the same width. The Twin, however, is five inches shorter.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY

Two notable and pretty great features on this Twin adjustable bed are dual massage capability and its unique alarm clock.  The head section massage works separate from the foot section massage, plus it also offers multiple intensities and wave modes.  The app controls allow for an alarm clock, that when set, automatically moves the bed base into a pre-selected position.  This base also comes with adjustable legs that start at 6” and have two additional 3” extensions.  That means the base height can reach your choice of 9 inches, 12 inches, or 15 inches.

Notable Features and Comparison

  • Dual Massage: What Dual Massage means is that the head and the feet have massage that works independently from each other. Both can be set to different intensities at the same time.  The Malouf M555 offers three levels of massage intensity and four wave modes.
  • Alarm Clock App: Imagine setting an alarm for the morning that actually moves you into a specifically chosen position. That’s what the alarm clock on a Malouf M555’s app controls can do.  You pick the position, save it in a pre-set position and set the alarm.

Who Would Want to Buy For?

Customers who are snoring prefer the Malouf M555 adjustable bed because the Malouf M555 is designed with the anti-snoring app. The Malouf M555 adjustable base is very popular for snores because the anti-snoring app detects the snoring. Also, most customers prefer the dual massage, where the head and the feet can have different intensity levels.

Rize Aviada Twin Adjustable Bed

Rize Aviada Twin Adjustable Bed base

Twin Size: 38″ x 75″
Special Features: Inversion Position, Lounge, Voice App


Highlights

  • Inversion Position
  • Lounge Feature
  • Voice App Control
  • 5 Preset Positions,  (Zero Gravity, Anti Snore)
  • 3 Programmable Positions
  • Massage
  • Night Light Feet LED Lights
  • Ships in 6 Business Days

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY

The Rize Aviada has massage, 3 programmable positions, multiple pre-set positions, and the specialty lounge position.  However, what makes it truly special is the Inversion Position and that it has extra range in the feet positioning.  Most beds lift the legs and raise the head, then return both to the original flat position.  This one can do that but it can also lower the head and feet segments in the opposite manner, below flat.  As for the scope of leg positioning, the Aviada exceeds the typical 45-degree scope of others.  This permits the lower leg to raise above the knees in a position that some find useful for circulation or swelling issues.

Notable Features and Comparison

  • Inversion Position: A good spinal stretch is the result of the Inversion Position on the Rize Aviada Twin adjustable bed. In this position, the bed keeps the body in a supported state as both the head and feet drop just slightly.
  • Larger Feet Positioning Range: Most adjustable bases let the legs raise up to 45 degrees.  This bed base goes beyond that range allowing the feet to go above the knees for higher elevation.
  • Voice Controlled App: The app control on the Rize Aviada accepts voice commands for operation.  Speak out phrases such as “head up” or “lights on” to activate.

Notable Features and Comparison

  • Hi Low Feature: The high low feature allows the whole base to raise 7 inches.  The range of heights varies between 11” and 18.5” depending on whether the casters are being used or not.

A customer needing this bed is tired of sleeping in a lift chair recliner.

Notable Features and Comparison

  • Lift Chair Feature: The lift chair feature enables the bed to move up to the position of the lift chair; this helps you to get in and out of the bed more easily.

Who Would Want to Buy For?

The main reason customers have to buy the Twin size base is because they are tired of sleeping in a recliner lift chair. Many customers have a hard time getting in or out of bed, which is why they sleep in recliner lift chairs.

Twin Size: 38″ x 75″
Brands: Many Different Brands


Highlights

  • Kingship Comfort
  • Nature’s Sleep
  • Innomax
  • Mlily
  • Different Types (Latex, Hybrid, Memory Foam)

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY

Modern day Twin adjustable beds are compatible with all new twin size mattresses on the market.  Any type of mattress will work including latex, memory foam and hybrid mattresses.  Older mattresses are the only ones that may not work and that is only if they use the old-style coil system.  Most of these mattresses are out of commission at this point (or at least they should be).  So now, you can really choose any mattress based on what you like in a mattress.

Twin vs Twin XL

Twin adjustable beds and Twin XL adjustable beds are both 38 inches wide.  The Twin is 75 inches long and the Twin XL is longer at 80 inches.  There are more adjustable base models in a Twin XL compared to a Twin.  That’s primarily because a Twin XL is 38”x80” which is exactly half of a split King adjustable bed. So, essentially, any base that comes in a split King will also come in a Twin XL.  Manufacturers are seeing the demand for traditional Twin adjustable beds though.  In turn, they are making more adjustable bed models in this size than every before.

 

How Do the Twin Adjustable Features Help Older People?


The low and high features of the Twin adjustable bed are the ones that help older people. The hi-low features of the adjustable bed raise the whole bed up and down, making it easier to get in and out of the bed or make it for transferring. This feature is very common with senior customers because as you age, it becomes harder and harder to get in and out of bed. Ultimate flex assist also helps the elderly to get in and out of bed which is the same as the lift chair. The features of the Twin adjustable bed are the ones that help seniors the most.

 

How to Buy a Twin Adjustable Bed?

Buying a Twin size adjustable bed may be complicated with all the information found online. Below are some considerations to guide you before purchasing a Twin size adjustable bed. These considerations will help you understand the process of buying a Twin size adjustable bed.

  • Brand: The brands of twin adjustable beds are limited, unlike the split king and queen sizes. But there are a few various brands that you have to consider before buying. Before buying a Twin adjustable bed, you should look at the adjustable bed brand’s history and how long the brand has been in the market.
  • Rize Adjustable Beds
  • Flex a Bed Adjustable Beds
  • Transfer Masters Adjustable Beds
  • Size: The Twin size adjustable bed measures 38 inches by 75 inches, but there are Twin XL adjustable bed sizes 38 inches by 80 inches if you need a longer adjustable bed. The Twin size beds in the hospital may need to be clarified since the length of the hospital twin bed size is 75 inches by 80 inches or 84 inches, but the length of the standard Twin adjustable bed is 75 inches.
  • Type of Features: There are several various features that a Twin adjustable bed has, which you should consider before buying a twin adjustable bed. The Twin adjustable bed’s most unique feature is the inversion position. Still, other special features, such as the hi-low feature, enable the adjustable bed to rise and lower. Hi, low features help you to get in and out of bed more easily. There are many other features you should consider before buying a Twin adjustable bed apart from the mentioned features.
  • Type of Compatibility: All adjustable beds usually fit traditional bed frames or sit by themselves with the mattress, but the storage and adjustable bed frames have special adjustable bed features in which they sit and look nice that kind of the bed frames. The bed frame must have zero clearance with a low profile so that the adjustable bed sits low. The Rize Clairy II, Malouf M55, Rize Remedy III, and Rize Tranquility all work on platform and storage bed frames.
  • Bed Height: How tall or short a bed should be is often based on aesthetics.  However, the physical needs of the person who will sleep in it may influence the decision as well.  The height of a bed is determined by three things, two in regards to the base.  The profile of the base is how thick the base itself is.  The size of the legs used impacts the height as well.  Then, of course, the mattress depth adds to the bed’s overall height.  Most of the Twin adjustable beds will have adjustable legs to provide options during set up.  Adjustable beds with Hi-Low functionality allow the height to be flexible, based on your need in that particular moment.
  • Parts Readily Available: It is essential to know if the details of a Twin adjustable bed will be available later in case the bed breaks. Knowing the company’s history and how long it has been around for you to get the parts later is essential.
  • Type of Mattress: All the mattresses can work on a twin size adjustable bed. The older mattress is the only one that cannot work on an adjustable bed. The older mattresses are made with something other than the coils connected with a wire.
  • Price: The price of a twin adjustable bed varies depending on the model. The most expensive Twin size adjustable beds are the flex assist. Flex a Bed has extra features like hi-low. The Twin adjustable beds, which have fewer features, are cheap.

 

How Does a Twin Adjustable Bed Ship?

In most cases, the Twin adjustable bed is shipped by LTL freight. But there are some cases where the Twin adjustable bed is shipped by FedEx freight. The twin adjustable bed comes in a box; in most cases, there is little assemble. The Twin adjustable bed, in most points, is just required to put a power cord and legs on, but there are adjustable beds which might have more assemble. When the Twin adjustable bed is shipped, a tracking number is sent to your email in 6 business days, Monday to Friday, unless indicated on the product page.

 

Our Thoughts on Twin Adjustable Bed


Based on our experience and our customers’ feedback, elderly and shorter individuals prefer Twin adjustable beds. The Twin size adjustable bed measures only 75 inches; single sleepers who are shorter than average and seniors like to use the Twin adjustable bed. The single sleeper with an average height will choose the Twin XL adjustable bed size because the Twin XL adjustable bed measures 80 inches long instead of 75 inches long. The Flex Assist and Flex a Bed is the best bed for those who need help getting in and out. The Flex a Bed has hi low feature, which makes the bed better because hi-low features help to raise and lower the bed. You will pick the model of Twin size adjustable based on personal requirements, and you may need a Twin adjustable bed with unique features, while others may require a simple Twin adjustable bed.
