Is the Essential worth it over a plain bed frame?

If you want a raised head for reading, TV or reflux, yes. It costs $425 at Sven & Son as of November 4, 2026, and includes zero-gravity and anti-snore presets that a flat frame cannot do.

Do I need a box spring?

No. The base is designed to hold a mattress directly, and the bundle lets you add a 14-inch hybrid, 12-inch medium foam, 10-inch firm foam or no mattress at all.

How much weight does it hold?

750 lb total. That covers most mattresses plus one or two sleepers.

What comes in the box?

The adjustable base, one wireless remote (two with Split King) and all assembly parts in a single box. A mattress only if you chose one.

Can I adjust the leg height?

No. The legs are fixed at 12 inches, putting the frame 15 inches high. Measure your room and mattress before ordering.

The lowest new price seen is $425 at Sven & Son as of November 4, 2026. Bundles with a mattress cost more, so compare the frame-only price against the bundle.
