Adjustable Beds*

Adjustable and electric beds let you raise your head or your legs at the touch of a button, so you can settle your spine into a supported position that eases back pain, reflux and swelling, and makes reading or sleeping in bed far more comfortable. Bad Backs stocks the full MLILY iActive range, from the iActive 20 two-motor base and the iActive 20S with matching surround, through to the premium iActive 40M four-motor wall hugger with massage and the iActive HILO 200s lift bed. Pair any base with a flexible pressure relieving mattress, or start with a mattress topper and the right support pillow for your position.

What Is an Adjustable Bed and Who Is It For?

An adjustable bed uses a quiet electric motor to raise the head and foot sections independently, so you can settle your spine into a supported, neutral position instead of lying flat. A slight lift under the knees takes the strain off the lower back, while raising the head helps with reflux, breathing and comfort. Adjustable beds suit people living with back pain, sciatica, arthritis, reflux or reduced mobility, as well as older Australians who want a bed that is easier and safer to get in and out of, and anyone who simply likes to read or relax in bed without a pile of pillows.

Types of Adjustable Beds We Stock

There are a few ways to buy, depending on whether you want to keep your current mattress or start fresh. An adjustable bed base can be paired with a compatible flexible mattress you already own or choose separately. A complete electric bed and mattress package gives you the base and a matched flexible mattress in one, ready to sleep on. A lift and recline bed adds extra lift range to help you stand safely, ideal for limited mobility. Two-motor bases raise the head and legs; four-motor models add extra contouring and, on some MLILY iActive models, a built-in massage function.

Adjustable Beds for Back Pain and Better Sleep

Lying flat all night can flatten the natural curve of your lower spine and leave you stiff by morning. An adjustable bed lets you support that curve: a slight lift under the knees eases the pull on the lower back, and a raised head keeps the airway open and reflux down. Combined with a supportive, flexible mattress, it is one of the simplest ways to sleep in a spine friendly position night after night. If you are not ready for a new base yet, a quality mattress topper is a lower cost first step toward the same goal.

How Much Do Adjustable Beds Cost in Australia?

The price depends on the size, the number of motors, and whether you buy the base alone or as a complete bed and mattress package. Our MLILY iActive range starts from around $1,499 for a two-motor base with head and leg lift, moves up to two-motor bases with a matching surround, and reaches the premium four-motor wall hugger with massage. Because we specialise in back health rather than volume furniture, our team can point you to the option that gives you the right support for your budget rather than upselling features you will not use.
