The Benefits of Having an Adjustable Base

The benefit you get from an M8X1 power base is that you can raise your upper torso for greater comfort. This position is very helpful to people who suffer from conditions such as sleep apnea and acid reflux. Having your head raised helps to clear your airways and keep them clear for a better quality of sleep. Other than assisting with medical issues, having the ability to raise your the top of your bed enhances comfort. This is great for late-night TV watchers or readers who like to unwind in bed for a while before sleeping. The M8X1 also adds the benefit of being able to charge your devices by plugging them into the remote's USB port. With all the technology that rules our lives these days, this is an excellent feature.

More About Ashley Furniture

Ashley Furniture, the parent company of Ashley Mattress, was founded in 1945 as a sales organization in Chicago, Illinois. Since they first opened Ashley Furniture has steadily grown to the point where they are now the largest manufacturer of furniture in the world!

Conclusion

The M8X1 Adjustable Foundation by Ashley Furniture is a basic power base with minimal features. The head portion of the bed is the only part that lifts up. You don't have the ability to lift your legs with this base so keep that in mind. This is one reason why this is a much more affordable power foundation than most others I have ever seen. They're selling in stores for $499 for a Queen which is a few hundred dollars cheaper than most other adjustable bases.

If you only need your adjustable bed to lift your head then I do recommend this base. You can save a good amount of money over other leading competitor's bases. Plus, this base is made by Ashley Furniture, the largest furniture manufacturer in the world, so it's definitely a piece of high-quality furniture. That should tell you all you need to know if you're considering this base for your bedroom.
