As with most products in today's new-age world, the bedding industry often presents a seemingly overwhelming array of options surrounding mattresses, furniture, and adjustable beds, leaving it primarily up to you to refine through different quality options to attempt to make a purchase that will satisfy your unique needs. Navigating through the research phase of an adjustable bed purchase goes hand in hand with filtering through a superabundance of optional features, functions, and how they can benefit you. Adjustable beds can be helpful, convenient, and fun, especially when experiencing massage mode or the zero-gravity position. However, there are many factors to consider, like weight limits and warranties, before making an informed decision and purchasing the best adjustable bed.
Since most aren't mattress industry professionals like the sleep experts at Bed Tech, it is safe to say that most people don't fully understand the ins and outs of adjustable beds, how their framework and motors vary in quality, and how that can potentially affect their warranty and life expectancy.
An Adjustable Beds Lifespan Depends on Recurring Rate of Use
Many adjustable beds, like the Bed Tech BT3000, are made with durable, high-quality components, such as the framework and motors, to maintain smooth and consistent operation for the lifetime of the base, which can last up to twenty years. Unfortunately, not all adjustable beds available today fulfill the same high-quality standards. The Bed Tech brand thrives on consistently maintaining high-quality goods, so you can be confident that your product will last for many years.
Have you been curious about the lifespan of adjustable beds? Let's explore their typical longevity and which aspects may influence their durability and potential lifetime. Most decent adjustable beds last for at least one or two decades. Still, the quality of the parts, like the framing and motors, and the frequency of use all impact the overall lifespan of that specific adjustable bed frame.
How often you use the adjustable base by lifting the head or feet up or down and how much weight it bears will significantly influence the lifespan.
The more frequent operation or added weight the adjustable bed bears from the mattress and sleepers on top of it, the more potential that the lifespan can slowly decrease over time. Consistently surpassing the weight limit or overusing the lifting mechanisms can add extra stress on the motors and the moving joints that make up the adjustable bed sleep system, ultimately decreasing the life expectancy of the adjustable bed motors and the overall framework itself.
Why Weight Capacity Matters for the Warranty and Lifespan of Adjustable Beds
The warranty backing an adjustable bed is generally a telltale sign of its quality and construction. Most adjustable beds offered today utilize high-quality steel framing that lasts up to 20 years. Most decent adjustable beds typically can also hold up to 850-1000 pounds. But, be aware that not all adjustable beds are equivalent, and some are hardly comparable. There are many cheap, disposable-quality adjustable beds that you could consider a 'knockoff' product, which are essentially low-quality imitations of the original product. Unfortunately, inferior frameworks, unreliable parts and motors are available, so it is wise to research adjustable bed brands and components before making the final purchase.
Luckily, Bed Tech adjustable beds maintain a high standard for the quality framing that makes up their adjustable beds. Bed Tech bases can bear 750-850 pounds of weight and lift up to the same amount, known as lift capacity. Bed Tech is also pleased to offer many options of split and split head Queen, King, and Cal King, which can hold and lift up to 850 pounds on each side. A split head or vertical split King or Queen adjustable bed sleep system provides a generously sturdy framework to support substantial mattress(es) and sleepers of all body types. So, if you're big and tall, muscular or husky, you can settle into your Bed Tech adjustable bed and be rest assured that it will support you and your partner's body weight without any issues.
How Long Should I Expect My Adjustable Bed to Last?
Long story short, an adjustable bed will last as long as the components that make up the power supply, motors, and framework. So, ultimately, the lifespan of the adjustable bed depends upon the mattress pairing, the weight of the mattress and sleepers on top, and the frequency of use and care.
Fortunately for all of us, adjustable beds don't have a history of needing much maintenance or servicing. But, just like anything else, the more thought goes into caring for something, generally, there is a better or longer-lasting outcome. To prolong the lifetime of your adjustable base, consider performing routine inspections every two to three months to ensure all bolts are tight and everything is operating as it should. You can also make note of any new noises or sounds the base may produce while operating, as they may be signs of wear and tear, or need for maintenance.
Cleaning by dusting or wiping down the adjustable bed's steel framing to decrease dust buildup surrounding the motors, power supply, and control box helps keep the base like new, maintaining the quality and potentially extending the lifetime.
Exploring Replacement Part Options for Adjustable Beds
We've all been there—that frustrating moment when you realize that you misplaced the remote control again. With so many remotes and gadgets to keep track of, just about everyone can relate to losing or misplacing essential devices occasionally. Bed Tech makes it easy to continue operating your adjustable base without a remote or replace parts like the remote control or power supply box in the event of an accidental loss or damage.
The Bed Tech app offers Bluetooth connectivity to control your Bed Tech brand adjustable bed from your mobile device instead of the remote. Keep in mind that this technology requires a Bed Tech Bluetooth-compatible adjustable base:
- BT2000 Adjustable Bed
- BT2500 Adjustable Bed
- BT3000 Adjustable Bed
- BT6500 Adjustable Bed
The Bed Tech app is free to download from Apple's App Store and Google Play. It serves as a convenient alternative to the remote control if you lose or misplace it but need to adjust the base. If you need to replace a more significant component to restore operation to your adjustable bed, you can rely on the Bed Tech service department. They will help you initiate your adjustable bed warranty, and if your base is under warranty, you'll receive your replacement part promptly. The cost of parts may be prorated or entirely replaced, depending on the nature of the issue, the part, and the timeframe in which it occurred.
If you prefer to fix or replace the needed part, head to the Bed Tech Base Parts shop for easy access to purchase most parts, like remote controls and under-bed lights, that can help restore adjustable bed functions. For example, your power supply box may be damaged or lost upon moving or due to pets harboring underneath the bed and chewing on the wire. The part is installed by connecting it underneath your base and plugging it into the wall. This DIY replacement saves time; almost anyone who can lay underneath the base to plug in the cord can do it.
You can also refer to the limited assortment of how-to videos on the Bed Tech YouTube Channel to help you set up certain bases, sync bases, or pair your remote control with your adjustable bed without following a manual or having to get a hold of customer service.
What Do Adjustable Bed Warranties Cover?
Not all adjustable bed parts are as easy to replace without help. Adjustable bed warranties vary from brand to brand, so it is wise to be aware of the standard coverage and limitations provided.
Suppose you need a new motor installed and don't prefer to do it yourself. In that case, Bed Tech's Platinum warranty, which comes standard with the BT2000, 2500, 3000, and 6500 adjustable beds, offers in-home service within the first and second year, exercising the full replacement part of the warranty.
If you've had your adjustable bed for over a year or two, many other manufacturers will charge the total cost of the parts and any associated labor or service. Fortunately, Bed Tech strives to maintain high standards for its products and services by offering a warranty one notch above most standard adjustable bed warranties.
As all adjustable beds are not equal, neither are all adjustable bed warranties. Bed Tech's customer-first focus initiates 50% coverage of the cost of any electronic part not excluded by the warranty. For example, if you were eligible for a motor that was $129, you'd be responsible for $64.50, shipping, and the labor cost if it's past the second year.
Keep in mind that Bed Tech's warranty helps set the benchmark for coverage within the adjustable bed industry. Still, certain additional terms and conditions exclusions apply to all limited warranties set by all manufacturers of adjustable beds.
