Are Adjustable Bases Really Worth It?

Absolutely! Adjustable bed bases offer enhanced comfort, better sleep quality and added health benefits like improved circulation and reduced snoring. The Big Fig Adjustable Base takes it a step further with sturdy, heavy-duty support designed for bigger bodies, plus customizable positioning for the perfect sleep setup. If you want more comfort and flexibility, it’s definitely worth it!

Do Adjustable Bases Ruin Mattresses ?

Not at all! An adjustable bed base won’t ruin your mattress as long as you have the right one. In fact, an adjustable base can enhance your sleep by improving comfort, circulation and pressure relief. The key is choosing a mattress designed to flex and move with the base. So, what is the best mattress for adjustable beds? A Big Fig Mattress is the top choice, especially for plus-size sleepers or anyone seeking durability. Its high-density foam and pocketed coils provide lasting support, preventing sagging even after years of use. Plus, technology like THERMOGEL COOLING® or cool-to-the-touch LDPE keep you comfortable and sweat-free, even when sleeping at an incline. If you want a mattress that moves with you while maintaining superior comfort, Big Fig is the way to go.

Can I Use The Big Fig Adjustable Base With Any Mattress?

Yes, the Big Fig Adjustable Base is designed to work with any mattress that is compatible with adjustable bases. We recommend pairing our Big Fig Classic or Big Fig Luxe with our adjustable base. If you’re planning to use an existing mattress, check with the manufacturer first to make sure it’s compatible with an adjustable base and won’t void the warranty. We recommend the Big Fig Classic or Big Fig Luxe because they’re built to support bigger bodies with comfort and durability that’s unmatched in the mattress industry.

What Sleep Positions Can Be Set On The Big Fig Adjustable Base?

The Big Fig Adjustable Base offers a wide range of customizable sleep positions designed to enhance comfort, support and recovery—especially for bigger bodies. It comes pre-programmed with three of the most popular settings: Anti-Snore, Zero Gravity and Flat. These presets help reduce snoring, improve circulation and support a neutral spine position. Beyond the presets, you can adjust the head and foot elevations independently to find the perfect configuration for reading, relaxing or sleeping in your ideal position. Whether you’re a back, side or stomach sleeper, the Big Fig Adjustable Base delivers personalized comfort at the push of a button.

How Much Does The Big Fig Adjustable Bed Weigh?

Adjustable beds tend to weigh more than traditional bed frames due to their motors, moving parts and added durability. The Big Fig Adjustable Base is specifically engineered for bigger bodies and long-term support. Here’s the size-by-size weight breakdown: Twin XL: 116 lbs Queen: 140 lbs King: 160 lbs (ships in two boxes) California King: 181 lbs (ships in two boxes) This heavy-duty construction delivers enhanced stability and strength, making it an ideal adjustable bed base for plus-size sleepers or anyone looking for a long-lasting, high-performance foundation.

How Much Weight Can The Big Fig Adjustable Base Hold?

The Big Fig Adjustable Base is built to support heavier sleepers with unmatched strength and durability. It’s been rigorously tested and certified to hold up to 1,100 lbs of combined sleeper weight, plus an additional 150 lbs for the mattress itself—for a total weight capacity of 1,250 lbs. This heavy-duty adjustable base is designed to complement a Big Fig Mattress and provide reliable, long-term support for plus-size individuals, couples and anyone who needs a stronger, more supportive sleep foundation.

What Sizes And Measurements Does The Big Fig Adjustable Base Come In?

The Big Fig Adjustable Base is available in Twin XL, Queen, King, and California King sizes, making it easy to pair with your Big Fig Mattress for a customized, supportive sleep setup. Below are the dimensions for each size: Twin XL Adjustable Base: 78.7" x 37.2" (Two Twin XL bases can be paired to create a Split King Adjustable Base) Queen Adjustable Base: 78.7" x 58.2" King Adjustable Base: 78.7" x 74.2" California King Adjustable Base: 82.7" x 70.3" Keep in mind that the adjustable bed base dimensions are slightly smaller than mattress dimensions, to allow for a standard overhang. This design ensures full mattress support and doesn't affect comfort or performance. Whether you're upgrading to a split king adjustable bed or need a queen adjustable base with heavy-duty support, Big Fig has you covered.

What Is The Height Of The Big Fig Adjustable Base?

The Big Fig Adjustable Base is 14.1" tall, measured from the floor to the platform surface that your mattress will rest on when in the flat sleeping position. The height of the Big Fig Mattress is 11.5" - 13" for a total combined height of 25.6" - 27.1".

Will The Big Fig Adjustable Base Work With A Foundation?

No, the Big Fig Adjustable Base will not work with a traditional foundation or box spring. That’s because foundations and box springs are rigid and do not flex—making them incompatible with the motion and functionality of an adjustable bed base. The Big Fig Adjustable Base is designed with a solid, supportive platform that replaces the need for a foundation altogether and can be adjusted to many different sleeping positions—like Zero Gravity or Anti-Snore mode—with the push of a button.

Do You Need A Box Spring With An Adjustable Base?

No, you do not need a box spring with an adjustable base. Adjustable bases are designed to provide direct support for your mattress, eliminating the need for a traditional box spring. In fact, using a box spring with an adjustable base would prevent the base from adjusting properly. Instead, place your mattress directly on the adjustable base for optimal comfort and functionality.

"I splurged and got the Big Fig adjustable base when I ordered my mattress since I am having abdominal surgery next week and it will be hard to sit up on my own while I recover. So far I love it! It was definitely worth it and super easy to set up by myself (took me about 30 minutes). The queen sized base arrived in 2 heavy, long boxes that I needed help to get inside. I suppose you could also unbox it outside and bring it in piece by piece if you have no one to help. I would 100% buy it again."
