Virtually all latex and memory foam mattresses are automatically compatible as a mattress for adjustable bed. Their frame is built off the malleable foam, which can bend as necessary. Any mattress that has a wire framing to it, like almost all innerspring mattresses, has to be manufactured specifically for adjustability. Air mattresses are more often compatible, but also not always; some frames and some air mattresses won’t work. Confirm that the mattress you are interested in will work for the specific adjustable frame you seek. That is the only way to get a working adjustable bed and mattress set.

The innerspring mattress is the traditional mattress model, and remains the most popular buyer’s choice. It does require, however, to be manufactured specifically for an adjustable bed. A flat innerspring’s coils won’t conform to an adjustable bed. The mattresses wire frame makes for even more complexity.
