If you are looking for a foldable adjustable bed that offers both unmatched durability and all essential features at a relatively low price then Pragma adjustable bed shall be an excellent choice.
Although Pragma bed does not offer advanced features like wall hugging, dual massage and USB ports, but it satisfactorily offers full range of positions with wired remote control, all at an inexpensive price making it a leading seller in its category.
Tilt Options
The head tilt offered by Pragma bed is in fact extraordinary and such wide range of adjustment is not to be really found in any other adjustable bed in the market.
The head section can be fine tuned up to 80 degrees while the foot section can be tuned up to 30 degrees. With wide-ranging 80 degrees adjustment, you can conveniently adjust to any desired angle for watching TV, working on laptop, lounging or zero gravity position.
These tilts can be controlled via the wired remote control. On the downside, only one remote is offered for both the beds in split king version. However, you can separately opt for an additional remote for the second bed as well directly from the manufacturer.
Motor Performance
The DC motors are extremely quiet with absolutely no squeaking noise while lifting the head and foot sections. Lift pistons comfortably support weights up to 300 lbs.
Frame Durability
Even high end adjustable beds offer up to a maximum of 65 degrees head tilt but Pragma bed offering 80 degrees head tilt is possible only because of its sturdy middle legs.
Yes, sitting in an upright position means the centre of the bed takes entire upper body weight which cannot be really sustained with just four legs. With extra two middle legs, the bed is enough sturdy to take further weights without putting breaking or bending pressure on the middle section of the frame.
