Tests & Verdict

Here we collect tests, guides and product reviews so that you can create a picture of what others think about the product. This analysis and review is based on my experience and 12+ years of industry insight.

People with mobility issues in particular see this product as a life saver, rightfully so it gives back the ability to easily adjust positions while you sleep or are awake.

Price point very reasonable given the improved tech on display that far betters rivals.

Total package price, once paired with a compatible bed can price people out of the market. However, Dreams allows you to remove VAT from any sale of adjustable bed base where you can prove you are eligible as sick/chronically disabled helping to reduce the price fairly significantly.

Why our sleep experts loved it

The 800i variant from Sleepmotion is the top of the lineup from the popular brand and aims to satisfy many of the needs of those in need of an adjustable bed. For those who don't know, Sleepmotion operates under the Dreams Workshop umbrella and is sold exclusively through our premier partner.  The brand has been around for a number of years and covers everything in the value and premium segments for the retailer. When it comes to the 800i there are a few benefits that sees it rise above the 100i,200i and 400i and the majority of these benefits are entirely around the amount of direction and adjustment capable for the bed. With the frame you get 4 adjustable areas for the head, back, lumbar & feet changes, far beyond that seen with other retailers. The huge amount of adjustment proves ideal for those who are disabled in particular but also suit those who want to get more out of their bedroom as the adjustments allow you to easily watch TV, sit up and experience better posture and alignment while you sleep. 

The Sleepmotion 800i comes in a few different sizes, missing out on single sizing but covering the bases with the larger sizes well and the price point is particularly appealing also, coming in lower than you would expect given the amount of tech at hand. 

More about that technology, and this bed has smart features and wireless connectivity, allowing it to be controlled by the Dreams Napp app or via the wireless remote controls. The benefit of this is if you lose the remote down the back of the bed and you're too comfy to move, you can use the app without delay to get that perfect position.

Reviews for the product are particularly good, with over 200 reviews to date. Customers loved the product, with an impressive 4.7/5 and a 95.48% consumer satisfaction. Customers particularly enjoyed the practicality combined with the comfort offered from differing positions, both of which are thanks to the unique 4 additional positions available in this particular model.

Very good adjustable bed. I love that the pillow area is separately adjustable from the head end and that there is a dedicated, adjustable lumbar section. The zero gravity preset on the remote and the ZG bed position is great for relaxing and really "taking a load off"! The twin USB charging ports on each side of the bed is a nice touch, as is the under-bed lighting. The dual adjustable massage function (head & foot) works extremely well too. So, why only 4 stars, you may be wondering? Well, I can forgive that the delivery/installation team forgot to plug in the foot massage unit, so I had to get under the bed to see what was wrong and sort it out. This led to another discovery. The cabling underneath the head end is a real mess, with cables dangling down all over the place. I had my bed set up at full height (both leg sections installed) as I intended to use the area for under-bed storage, but I do not feel comfortable doing this at the head end as I am afraid I may dislodge or damage something by snagging a cable as I slide my storage boxes under (which I had already purchased in advance!). I did my best to tidy up the cabling while I was under there, but the cable from the power supply and to the two USB charging ports either side are still dangling down. My last adjustable bed had excellent cable management and was very neat, so this was not a problem. Come on Dreams, how much would a few extra cable management clips cost? Decent ones, not the cheap, clip-in plastic ones currently used which are clearly lacking in strength and quantity. Under-bed LED lights: these are only at the head end, none in the foot section and are badly positioned behind part of the frame so a good deal of the light is blocked. Surely it is obvious people may want to store stuff under both ends of the bed, not just the top-end! Oh, wait, you can't do so with any peace of mind due to dangling cables! Last is the top surface of the bed. It is so slippery that the slightest nudge on the side of the mattress causes it to slide across. Perhaps it's just my mattress, but I had the same mattress on my previous adjustable bed and this never, ever happened. So, all in all a very good bed in terms of its functions, but not perfect and with room for improvement in quite obvious areas.

Ive had the bed a few weeks now and am getting used to it. The first thing I will say is its a very firm surface and with a firm mattress its quite solid and extremely heavy - make sure you are certain where its going cos youre not moving it around! The bed adjusts at the head, back, lumbar and feet. This gives you extra control on your position and there are many adjustments you can make. The remote and the app are quite basic, its easy to use. The remote is rechargeable on the speaker which can be connected to Bluetooth to play music. There are four USB ports 2 each side to charge your phone. Theres a massage function which effectively vibrates the bed, there are various settings and its quite relaxing after 10 to 20 mins. It is, however, quite loud and will vibrate to the floor below - if that bothers you. There are pre set positions you can go to with a push of the button, two are adjustable to your own setting, theres flat and also Zero G (I didnt find this the right setting for zero gravity but I guess thats personal) All in all it does what it says on the tin - a very solid bed, adjustable for sitting up in bed, for raising your legs and head. If you are looking at adjustable beds I think its a good buy, certainly more reasonable in price than many of the beds advertised. I highly recommend trying this out in store, the staff are helpful and will leave you to familiarise yourself. Before choosing any bed or mattress you really need at least two 15 minute sessions. I dont regret buying it, and hopefully it will last for many years.

Love the adjustments on this bed. ZeroG is very comfortable, and the raised head/body end is good if you have reflux etc. The under bed LED lights are a great idea but switching them on is a struggle in the dark as the remote backlighting only comes on when you press a button.....and it isn't easy to distinguish what you are pressing! I'd prefer the lights to be a side mounted button away from the other functions. Also, whilst the app is a useful option, I'd love to be able to control it from Alexa as part of the bed time routine. Sadly it is not Alexa compatible. We also found that the lower left side of the bed is slightly higher than the other 3 sides. Dreams changed the bed for us but the next one was the same. I have now discovered that this is due to the mounting holes for the frame being drilled in the wrong location. It appears this is done by a machine so they are all the same! We are learning to live with it but the difference is around 2cms. Finally, we bought the bed with a very deep mattress. The installers did not offer us a choice of height for the feet (by default they used the tallest feet in the pack). Only later on did we discover the feet could be made lower which was far more sensible, so we dismantled and reinstalled ourselves.

I purchased a king-sized Sleepmotion 800i bedframe in 2021. I am using a Silentnight Miracoil Pillow Top Mattress with it. Sleeping on a pillow top mattress is really comfortable but when combined with the Sleepmotion 800i's choice of positions the comfort levels exceeded any expectations I had. I sleep in the zero gravity position and when I wake I like to raise the back to lay for a bit. The only problem with this is the Sleepmotion 800i provides a comfort level that makes it is too easy to fall back asleep! The build quality is really high. I was surprised at how well made and solid the frame is. I chose the king-sized Sleepmotion 800i so I worried about the strength of the back and any weakness/flex at the sides when raised in the sitting position. My worries were needless as the build quality negates this. The dual USB sockets at both sides are handy and easily accessible. The massage function works really well even in the king-sized bedframe. The under-bed lamps give off a soft light that allows you to see but does not disturb sleep. It is a magnificent peace of kit. Certainly worth the money. I have no reservations in recommending the Sleepmotion 800i .

Had this bed almost 2 weeks. The comfort of the Hyde & Sleep Raspberry mattress is amazing for a great nights sleep. The adjustable base is ideal for a raised upper body sleeping position, but, this makes the body go further down the bed. I chose the double bed, which I now realise was the wrong choice as my feet go over the bottom of bed, I'm only 5ft 5in. I wish this had been advised this when I was choosing my bed. I would advise anyone to get the kingsize. I still have no headboard as it is still out of stock. Having no headboard has an issue, every time I get in/out of bed, sitting on the side of bed, the mattress moves to the other side by a couple of inches I need to go to the other side to push it back. Hopefully the headboard wont be much longer until its available! The massage feature is vibration and rather noisy. I dont think I will be using it. The usb charging is a great extra. The under-bed light is not very bright but enough to see where you are going.

My son is disabled. He has quadriplegic cerebral palsy and so is limited in what he can do. This bed is a life transforming product for him. He suffers with alot pain and so he gains self confidence in managing this with use of changing positions and massage. Life changing as he is more relaxed. He loves music and loves suter voice. Music and massage couldn't ask for more. But yes the frame has USB ports so he can charge his phone and ipad. Awesome. He loves gadgets and this bed was made for him. Can't forget about under bed lighting which helps me to check in via a baby monitor to see if needs anything. I love it and my son refuses to get out of the bed which is a massive thumbs up. I can get a couple of extra hours of undisturbed sleep with regards to getting up to change his position during the night and less time spent massaging and stretching in the morning before gets up. He has the power to control that boosting his self confidence.

A lovely wonderful bed. the best bed ive ever slept on which i bought for convalescence when i get out of hospital. got everything you need if your going to be in bed alot. Putting it together was tough heavy work though as it weighs a ton and two bolts would not screw in as supposed to to keep two halves together so moving it is going to be really difficult you'll need 2-3 strong men to move this bed and put together again. The massage function is really nonsensical as the mattress nullify s its effect to a large extent and adds weight. could do with a holder on both sides for the remote control. To reduce weight perhaps the makers should make the frame out of carbon fibre instead of carbon steel and instead of board for mattress support a wire mesh support would be better as that would reduce weight and allow mattress to breathe underneath. Didnt buy headboard in fact because of my worry about weight

If you are considering an electric bed this product wont let you down. My father purchased this after suffering from lack of sleep due to his current bed. From the moment we stepped into the store the knowledge our sales person Andy had was incredible. This bed not only does everything you could wish for but the additional features such as the zero gravity function and the light under the bed totally complete this unit. The comfort level is amazing and the team in the store help to ensure you are matched to the correct mattress, using the mattress matcher technology in store. Since purchasing this bed my Father sleeps so well and is for the first time in years sleeping through the night. The additional guarantee you can purchase gives you peace of mind for 10 years on any mechanical issues. Well worth the money and the team deliver, set up and go through all operating instructions in the house.

Wanted to leave this review because I'm not infirm,old, or disabled, just an average guy with his mrs, and this bed frame, combined with the hyde and sleep blueberry mattress we purchased ,is a game changer for modern living, great for watching tv, reading, laptop use,ETC and the massage function after a hard day is sublime, if a little noisy when in use! sleeping in the various positions is a little more of a removal from the familiarity of horizontal flat sleeping, and does take some getting used to however, but I feel it will grow on me through use. This is a lifestyle bed, not a hospital or clinical product, and even has charge points for your phone and tablets built in, the underbed light is a bit of a joke though as the remote doesn't stay lit throughout the night, so you can't find the button to turn it on . I would say take the plunge and buy one, don't think you will be disapointed!

This bed was everything I was hoping it would be and the quality was better than expected. This bed has solid moving plates where alot of other electric beds have wooden slats which in my experience I always end up breaking!! It's movement is silent with some useful presets especially the lay flat button which automatically adjust the bed ready for sleep no matter what weird and wonderful position you have put it in. The under bed LED lighting is a nice touch and is on a timer so you don't accidentally leave them on. The underside is well organised with no obvious pet traps and my cats love sitting under it. The only thing I underestimated was just how heavy this bed is and I would pay for the installation service if given the opportunity. Overall I am delighted

Excellent bedframe - delivery was smooth despite the labyrinthine path the the bedroom and assembly was straightforward. The bed itself is a masterpiece of engineering. Smooth, consistent operation with no sudden jolts resulting in much needed comfort and relief for a back sufferer after 3 spinal surgeries. Paired with a Tempur mattress, this is an improvement for me who never thought I'd be happy to replace a water-bed. No part of the machinery extends downwards from it's rest position, so storage under the bed is safe (we have a pair of Ooler mattress temperature controllers there) and the USB are powerful enough to charge phones etc. in a reasonable time as-well as powering a Google home mini and Chromecast for the TV. Great product.

Suffered backache for 12 years since a bike accident, no more than a few hrs sleep per night. This bed helps mould the mattress to what makes my back comfortable and I am sleeping more than I have done in years. You do need to purchase the headboard, otherwise the pillows fall off the top of the bed. One little niggle..I wish the backlight on the remote control would stay on longer or even have its own on/off button. Its so you don't have to turn on the bedroom light everytime you want to adjust the bed. In the dark you have to press any button before the back light comes on, then its gone off again within a half second before you can find the button you really want.

What is the highest distance the feet can be raised to from the floor? Is there enough room for under bed storage?

Answer: The feet cannot be raised from the floor, they need to be directly on the floor when the bed is assembled.The highest leg height is 9 inches, however nothing should be stored under the bed as this can cause obstructions to the mechanisms.Many thanks

Can we use this bed WITHOUT the legs? I am in a wheelchair and would like this bed lower. Will that be possible ?

Answer: Unfortunatley you cannot use the bed without the legs on it, due to the mechanism's underneath there needs to be space under the bed to allow for movement and able to be free from obstruction.Many thanks
