Brief into Sven and Son’s background
I have been reviewing adjustable beds over the past 8-years and I can tell you that Sven and Son is the only company offering 5 different models. Rest all offer 3 models at the maximum.
- Sven and Son made its entry into adjustable beds segment with the launch of its premium high-end adjustable bed, Sven and Son Platinum.
- Thereafter, it launched its mid-level model, Classic followed by basic model, Essential.
- And now it introduced two new variations in its premium model Bliss & Classic+ (head tilt).
Sven and Son also offers premium mattresses that are compatible with all its adjustable bed models.
Interestingly, the company had been the market leader for 5th straight year with its adjustable beds being the best and highest sellers.
Sven & Son Platinum, feature-wise is the latest high-end adjustable bed on the market. And, price-wise it costs reasonably less than most other advanced adjustable beds.
Before moving into detailed Sven and Son review, please take a quick look at the following feature set as well as its price. It's definitely a STEAL at the given price.

Sven and Son Platinum Adjustable Base Reviews - Top-end Model
Sven & Son Adjustable Bed Reviews
Adjustments - Sven and Son Reviews
Head & Feet Adjustment
In terms of adjustments, there is absolutely no match to the range of head and feet level adjustments offered by Sven and Son.
Additionally, it offers premium pillow tilting and partial wall hugging features as well.
- Head section can be tilted up to a maximum of 75 degrees which is the highest in any adjustable bed
- Feet section up to 45 degrees is again the highest in industry
- Pillow adjustment up to 7 degrees
- Wall hugging up to 8 inches
Lumbar adjustment & Pillow tilting
As of today, Prodigy Comfort Elite from Leggett & Platt and Reverie 9T are the only two adjustable beds on the market that offer lumbar adjustment.
And both of these are high-end adjustable beds whose cost is perhaps the highest in the entire adjustable beds segment.
- Whereas, Sven and Son is the only adjustable bed that offers both lumbar adjustment as well as pillow tilting but costs significantly less than most advanced adjustable beds.
The remote control comes with dedicated buttons for performing both lumbar and pillow adjustments.
Wall hugging
Sven & Son has incorporated wall hugger design up to 8 inches. When head section is lifted, the base moves glides towards the wall and near to your headboard.
There will only be an 8 inches gap between the heardboard and pillow section and you will still be comfortably near to your bedside table.
Motor Capacity
Another important factor is the performance and capacity of installed lift motors. While 650 lbs is the minimum lift capacity any adjustable bed has to offer, mid-range adjustable beds offers 750 lbs.
- And the 2 motors installed in split-king model offers massive 1800 lbs lift capacity together. This range of lift capacity is again offered only by industry famous Leggett & Platt and Reverie motors.
These motors in are again ultra-quiet with absolutely no noise while performing adjustments.
Remote Control
Following image of Sven & Son remote control is self explanatory.
Sven and Son Reviews - Remote Control
The wireless backlit remote control comes with 18 functions embedded on it. The more the number of options, the easier it shall be to access and operate each functionality.
Hence, all latest adjustable beds are now having individual and dedicated buttons on remotes for performing each task.
Preset positions
Sven & Son offers all 3 mandatory preset positions from its remote control.
- Flat
- Zero-gravity
- Anti-snore
Memory programmable positions
Perhaps, this is the only grey area if we have to mention as it comes with only 1 memory programmable position.
Of course, all other adjustable beds in mid-range and high-end segment offer at least 2 memory savable positions. Even its mid-range model, Classic, comes with 2 memory programmable options.
Anyways, something is better than having nothing. As the remote is having dedicated buttons for lifting and lowering of head, feet, lumbar and pillow sections, there is perhaps no chance to embed further more keys onto it.
Massage Functionality
Apparently, Massage functionality along with adjustability are the two primary reasons for people to opt for adjustable beds.
Massage modes
But instead of offering standard massage functionality, adjustable beds have to have different massage types.
- And Sven & Son adjustable base offers next generation massage experience with 3 different massage types - pulse, wave and full body vibration.
While most adjustable beds only limit to pulse mode massage, few more offer wave mode as well.
But Sven & Son is the only adjustable bed to offer full body vibration. It is powerful and most relaxing, especially after a hard day out.
Massage intensity
There are 3 intensity levels to choose from - low, medium and high. Massage is again independent for both head and feet sections.
Remote has dedicated options to chose either head, feet or both and also set massage intensity levels separately.
Other key features
Sven & Son Adjustable Bed Reviews - 2 USB ports on each side
USB ports
Another best feature is the number of USB ports. It has 2 USB ports on each side of the frame.
Even if you happen to place one side against the wall, the other side will be open. And the ports too are place in the top section which makes it easy to reach for them.
Height adjustability
It comes with 3 inches and 6 inches individual leg units. When combined they offer total 9 inches of height from the ground.
3 inches to 11 inches is average range and 9 inches of total height is standard and similar to all other beds.
Mattress retention system
Of course, latest beds are now coming with mattress strip/grip feature that removes the need to have retainer bars.
But Sven & Son, for now is offering standard mattress retainer bar at the feet level to hold the mattress in its place.
Remote lock/unlock
Not a mandatory feature but a nice to have one, especially when you have small kids home who'd love to play with everything they find.
No matter which key they press, the keys will not work as long as the remote remains in locked state.
Under-the-bed lighting and Flashlight
Features like Under the bed lighting system and have now become mandatory.
And instead of offering a regular lamp beneath the bed, Sven and Son adjustable bed comes with LED powered under bed lighting system which is relatively more efficient than standard lights.
Additionally, flashlight is also embedded on the remote control.
Emergency power down
This is one of the main features that every adjustable bed should possess. Imagine yourself in zero-gravity position with both your head and feet raised upwards with massage function running and there is a power outage.
Getting out of the bed in such a situation shall be risky, especially when you try to move but your whole body weight is resting on your back.
Hence, emergency power down is a must have feature. Sven and Son too comes with emergency power back, the bed gets back to Flat position in case of a power outage.
Upholstery
The base comes in black upholstery. Remember black and grey are the very colors that perfectly fit all decors' alike.
Mobile App
Sven & Son Adjustable Bed Reviews - Apple and Android mobile app
Leggett & Platt and Reverie are the only two top brands in adjustable beds segment that have a mobile app.
And now Sven & Son too joins the elite list with mobile app for both Apple and Android devices.
This mobile app is an exact replica of the remote control for performing all functions.
Mattress Included
There is an option to chose the mattress as well along with the adjustable base. You can opt for either 10 inch, 12 inch Luxury Cool Gel Bionic memory foam mattresses or 14 inch hybrid mattress.
Warranty
Sven and Son offers a massive 10-Year warranty on its adjustable bed. 10-Year, perhaps, is one par with what other players in the industry offer.
And the mattress too comes with 10-Year warranty period.
Sven & Son Reviews - Conclusion
Lumbar adjustment with pillow tilting plus all the nice to have features at the quoted price makes this bed the most lucrative deal one can expect, especially in high-end premium adjustable beds segment.
Sven & Son is clearly not short of even a single feature. Simply THE BEST offer.
Sven and Son Head Tilt Adjustable Bed – Top-end model (With No Lumbar Adjustment)
It is one of the two new models launched by Sven and Son.
Sven and Son Head Tilt is designed to stand between advance Platinum model and mid-range Classic model.
- Remember, Sven and Son Platinum is the high-end adjustable bed model from the company that comes with both pillow tilting and lumbar adjustment features.
- And Sven and Son Classic is the mid-range model that includes massage, but no pillow tilting or lumbar adjustment.
- Whereas, the new Sven and Son Head Tilt model includes just pillow tilting but no lumbar adjustment and stands between the Platinum and Classic models.

Other differences between Platinum and Head Tilt models
Leaving out on major lumbar adjustment, there are just couple of minor differences between the platinum and head tilt models.
Feature Difference:
Head tilt model additionally includes
- One preset position (TV) and
- One more memory programmable position
Other than these two the rest all features remain the same.
Price Difference:
On the price front, the difference is massive as the head tilt costs nearly 20% less than platinum model.
- And the reason why we called it massive is because if you really don’t need lumbar adjustment then you can save 20%.
That’s definitely a big deal.
Sven and Son Bliss Adjustable Bed – Top-end model (With No Wall hugging & Zero-clearance)
New Head tilt model had pillow tilt feature but no lumbar adjustment feature, and new Bliss model includes both lumbar and pillow adjustment features.
There are only two noticeable differences between platinum and bliss
- Zero clearance – Zero clearance allows you to place the frame directly on any bed platform OR directly on the floor, thus removing the need to attach leg units.
This feature is present in platinum model and missing in bliss model.
- Wall hugging – Well, it surely is an important feature and is present in platinum model and not included in bliss model.
In wall hugging, the head portion slides backwards and sticks to the headboard keeping you right next to your bedside table.
Sven and Son Classic Adjustable Bed Base – Mid-range model
Mid-range Classic model from Sven and Son is same as the high-end Platinum model minus pillow and lumbar adjustment.
- Other features in both the high-end and mid-range models are more or less the same.
Let’s followed is the detailed feature-wise review of Classic adjustable bed base.

Flashlight & Under-the-bed-lighting
The remote includes options for both under-bed lighting as well as flashlight.
USB Ports

Emergency power down
Both the mid-range and high-end models, Classic and Platinum respectively offer emergency power backup.
In case, of a power outage, no matter in which position you are lying, the bed automatically gets back to flat position. This helps you get out of the bed with ease.
Warranty
Sven and Son offers 5-Year prorated warranty only on this mid-range Classic model, wherein you absolutely incur no additional costs whatsoever as non-prorated warranty covers pretty much everything.
Sven and Son Reviews - Conclusion
Well, there is not much of a difference between advance Platinum and mid-range Classic models from Sven and Son, except pillow tilting and wall hugging.
