Tempur-Ergo Extend Smart Adjustable Base Review

Updated November 14, 2022

It's important to know that the Tempur-Ergo Extend is a high-end luxury power base. Any time you think about a luxury product you automatically assume that it's going to be a pricey item.  You'll also assume that the highest quality materials are used and that it comes with all the bells and whistles. These assumptions are certainly true with the Tempur-Ergo Extend Adjustable Base. It has all the features of the regular Tempur-Ergo base with several added features. 

These added features can make it even easier for people who spend most of their time in bed to live their lives in better comfort.

More on the Tempur Ergo Extend Smart Features

Wireless Remote Control	The wireless remote for the Tempur Ergo Extend Adjustable Base comes with several luxury features.  Here they are from the top of the remote to the bottom: Four-zone massage with varying intensities for the head and foot portions of the bed. On the outside edges of the middle are the regular up and down functions for the head and foot portions of the base. The light button in the middle of the remote controls the under-bed lighting. This is a really nice feature for when you need to get out of bed at night and don't want to disturb your sleep partner by turning on an overhead light. The QuietMode™ button allows you to raise the head portion of the base to a height that helps alleviate snoring. The TV button raises the head section of the base to a height that makes it ideal for watching television in bed. This feature is also programmable by you so you can get into your perfect position for watching your favorite shows while in bed. The ‘Zero-G’ button positions your body in such a way that it simulates being weightless. The idea is to relieve pressure from your back while putting you in the most ideal position to help you fall asleep faster. The 'star' button is programmable to your favorite position. Once you figure out exactly where you like the adjustable base to be while you sleep you can set that position on this button.  That way, the next time you get into bed you can hit one button rather than adjusting everything again.
Adjustable Height Legs	The legs for the Tempur Ergo Extend base come in three-inch increments, meaning that the base can be from 8" to 17" off the floor.  This is a great feature because everybody is of different heights so this caters to people of all heights.  The best part is that the legs automatically come with the base so you can adjust the height later on if you want it lower to the floor or higher up, it meets your needs no matter what.
PerfectSeat™	The Tempur-Ergo Extend has an added function called PerfectSeat™ which offers additional lumbar support and creates a more natural seating position for people who spend more time in bed.  This feature is very valuable to those people who are required to lie in bed more due to medical issues.  What happens is the head portion and the foot portion of the base separate and extend to create a seating position that is comfortable and supportive allowing you to lie in bed for longer periods of time.

The Benefits of Having an Adjustable Base

The benefits of having a Tempur-Ergo Extend Adjustable Base are greater than just having a regular power base. Because this model is the highest-end model available from Tempur-Sealy it has loads of features not found on other bases. An adjustable base will obviously give you added comfort with the ability to raise and lower your head and legs. This power base also gives you four-zone massage, two USB ports on either side of the base, QuietMode™ to reduce snoring, and PerfectSeat™. The PerfectSeat™ feature is a great feature for those people who are bedbound with an illness. It lets you sit in bed in a more natural position helping to relieve pressure points associated with lying in bed too long. The features this base has to offer are long and I could talk about them for a long time. The bottom line for the benefits that you get from the Ergo Extend is the most comfortable features available in a power base and assistance with medical issues.
