Serta Motion Essentials Adjustable Base Review - Head & Feet Articulation
Head & Feet Articulation
Serta Motion Essentials comes with head and feet tilting, very similar to all other basic and mid-range adjustable beds.
Remember, wall hugging and pillow tilting are only offered by high-end adjustable beds like Reverie 9T, 8Q and Leggett and Platt Prodigy 2.0.
Preset Positions
The number of preset positions are again limited to only 2 in Serta adjustable bed base. Apart from basic and mandatory FLAT & Zero-Gravity positions, Serta does not include anti-snore, TV/PC or lounge positions.
However, Hofish, Ghostbed and Classic brands offer either 3 or 4 preset positions.
Memory Programmable Positions
This is one of the most sought after feature in adjustable beds segment. You can comfortably tune both head and foot section to your desired angles and then save them as your favourite options for future use.
However, Serta falls short on this feature as well. Leaving out Classic brands, Hofish and Ghostbed come with 2 memory savable positions.
Massage
Unless you are looking for a basic adjustable bed for hospital like usage, you might not need massage functionality.
However, if you are looking for some relaxation as well then massage is a must have feature. Classic brands and Ghostbed adjustable beds offer massage feature.
Ghostbed offers nearly 5 different massage modes thus enhancing your experience and providing an experience that is on par with most high-end adjustable beds.
Height Adjustability
One size doesn’t fit all. Height is an important parameter as getting in out of the bed can become really annoying straining your knees and back.
Serta Motion Essential III comes with height adjustability wherein you can choose between 3 heights.
Even Classic Brands and Hofish adjustable beds too come with height adjustability.
Remote Control
Serta Adjustable bed’s remote control is one of the simplest to operate. Comes with just 6 options making it relatively easy to use.
USB Ports
Anytime we have at least one or two electronic gadgets that need constant charging. Especially while going to bed we ensure to connect the devices to reach full charging by next morning.
On the downside, Serta Essentials bed base has somehow not included even a single USB port. Whereas, Classic Brands, Hofish and Ghostbed adjustable beds come with 2 USB ports, one on each side.
Under-bed Lighting
Under the bed lighting has been incorporated in most beds these days. The purpose is to avoid you from hurting your knees while getting in and out of the bed, especially while returning from restroom in mid-night hours.
It is not mandatory yet a nice to have feature. Serta, Classic Brands and Hofish do not offer under the bed lighting system. Only Ghostbed adjustable bed comes with this feature.

Conclusion
The performance and customer satisfaction of Serta Essentials adjustable bed is outstanding. However, there are several other options that come in the same price range with additional features like dual massage, USB ports and memory programmable options.
Finally, if you are ready to spend few more bucks then Ghostbed adjustable bed is perhaps the best of all options as it comes with most features of an advanced adjustable bed.
Classic brands also offers few more additional features than Serta adjustable bed yet its price is relatively less than Serta.
