Best Adjustable Beds For Seniors In Australia Are Peace Lily And OneBed: Here’s Why

Best Adjustable Beds for Seniors Australia: I’ve been researching all things beds for 3 years now, and my clinical background in my previous job included a lot of work in a senior rehab setting, so I’ve really thought about what you need in making my recommendations of:

• Peace Lily Adjustable Bed (My top choice, and I actually own one myself)
• OneBed

To be honest, you’ll find that pretty much ANY adjustable bed can help alleviate symptoms from sleep disorders or chronic pain, so here were my criteria that helped me choose the top two so you can buy with confidence:

• The company you buy from needs to be trustworthy, with a good track record of really caring about their customers
• The adjustable bed frame needs to have adjustable legs, so you can customise the height of your base to best suit your mobility and comfort needs
• The bed needs to have lighting built in so you can easily get up in the night should you need to
• It should be durable and good value
• The adjustable bed frame should pair easily with a good quality mattress that you can buy at the same time, to get a complete bed set-up in one purchase

Adjustable Beds For Seniors Australia – Details Of Each

The Top Pick – Peace Lily Adjustable Bed

You can already see from the quick overview above that Peace Lily ticks all the boxes in what makes a great adjustable bed frame so it’s easy to recommend it to you as your best choice. Let’s take a more detailed look at it:

Key Features:

• Uses organic cotton and natural latex for the soft finishes of the bed (polycotton and man-made foams are the usual standard so this is a big advantage, particularly for the price)
• A variety of massage modes for additional relaxation – choose light vibrations or a deeper massage, choose either head, foot, or whole body. With 9 modes to choose from you can find one to suit your needs at different times
• Legs are adjustable to three different heights (19cm, 31cm, or 43cm high – you decide which works best with your needs)
• Sturdy and stable: if you read the customer reviews of this adjustable bed, everyone mentions the quality feel of it
• Articulates at both head AND feet, with popular preset options available in your wireless remote such as zero gravity, anti-snore, and reading
• The Peacelily base comes with a 2 year warranty, but this can be extended to 10 years for a fee (the total still comes out cheaper than some competing brands)
• Pairs perfectly with Peace Lily’s famous natural latex mattress and toppers, which I think is the best latex mattress in Australia for its quality and price. I actually have one of these mattresses in my own house and it lives up to all the hype! Read more about the mattress here.

These adjustable bed frames are a great investment in lifestyle comfort since they allow you to sleep in six different positions, all of which have health and comfort benefits.

The Peace Lily adjustable bed is my favourite because it’s an adjustable bed that does everything you’d expect (it has the ability to tilt, raise and lower the head and feet) AND more. As well as easily assuming all the positions you would want for a comfortable nights sleep, it’s also got the great additions of massage, lighting, adjustable legs, and easy assembly.

Peace Lily are also the nicest people I’ve come across in the bedding industry and they have a dedication to their customers unlike many others. They do everything in their power to keep prices fair and transparent to their customers and provide amazing service while they’re at it. You’re in safe hands when you buy from Peacelily.

Runner Up: OneBed Adjustable Bed Frame

The runner up on my list of adjustable beds for seniors in Australia is the OneBed Adjustable Bed Frame. This bed is considered by many to be one of Australia’s best adjustable beds. It has less features than Peacelily but it also has a lower price point if you can catch a sale deal. This would be a good choice if you’re not interested in massage options on your adjustable bed.

Key Features:

• Sturdy Steel Bed Frame
• Easy to switch positions through the remote control (has just two presets: zero gravity and anti snore)
• Pairs well with OneBed’s range of memory foam mattresses
• Has adjustable legs (3 height choices)
• No masssage features on this base
• 5 Year warranty

Using the Onebed, users can adjust their comfort level and position in various ways without having to spend a lot of money. The shift from one setting to another is seamless and quiet, with many customers commenting on how quiet the motor is.

OneBed adjustable base prices start at $1350, which is more expensive than Peacelily. However, they run regular sales so I’d encourage you to buy this base when it’s on discount.

Other Options

AH Beard may not sound familiar to you but I bet you know their beds: they actually make many of the mattress brands you’re used to seeing in stores, like King Koil. Proudly Australian made, they have a range of adjustable bases to complement their mattresses.

They make a range of adjustable bed bases, the most popular being the Invigorate adjustable base and the Enliven adjustable base. These are available at stores nationwide and also through popular online retailer BedWorks, who also sell them as combo deals with some high quality AH Beard mattresses, but I think it will work even better some of my other Australian mattress brand recommendations.  

Prices for AH Beard bases start from $1694 for a long single Enliven base only, and go up to $7518 for a King size Invigorate base with a mattresses included (remember: King size will be split into 2 x long singles). Bedworks often run sales though, so you can expect to get a discount.

However, I think your best bet if you want to buy an AH Beard base is to buy the base only from Bedworks ($1694 – $6159) and pair it with one of my preferred Australian mattress brands: Peacelily for latex, Macoda for hybrid, or Hugo for combination foam. See what I mean that it’s not just easy to make your purchase in one place and have your order arrive all together?

The main reasons I’m not recommending AH Beard Bases from BedWorks as the top choice for seniors is not about the quality of the base, but more about the price and the features. You can see they get expensive, and it’s not so easy to just buy a bundle deal from them like it is with Peacelily or OneBed. You’ll also have to pay shipping.

Final Thoughts

Adjustable beds are a great choice for anyone, but are particularly great for people who may have issues with snoring, insomnia, aches and pains, or poor circulation. They’re also just really great for relaxing in and enjoying a great book or your favourite TV show.

Peace Lily was my top choice for seniors because it’s an Australian brand with a strong focus on customer service and the base has all the features and more that you’d want from the best on the market.
