Can You Buy an Electric Bed with a Mattress?
If you're looking to buy an electric bed with a mattress, selected Bensons electric beds can be purchased alongside a compatible mattress. Check the individual product page for details of available mattress options and any current offers.
When choosing a mattress for an electric bed, make sure it is specifically suitable for use with the type of powered bed base you are buying. The product page will provide further information about compatible options.
How do I Choose the Right Size Electric Bed?
Choosing the right electric bed size depends on the space available in your bedroom and how much sleeping room you need. Start by measuring the area where you plan to place your bed, allowing enough room to move around it comfortably.
A small double electric bed can be useful where space is limited, while a double, king size or super king electric bed provides progressively more sleeping space.
Always check the full dimensions of your chosen electric bed on its product page. The overall footprint of the assembled bed may be larger than the mattress size, so measuring your available space before ordering is essential.
If you're unsure whether your new bed will fit into your bedroom or home, our guide to measuring for a new bed and mattress can help.
Do Electric Beds come with a Remote Control?
Some electric beds use a remote control to operate their powered features, although the exact controls vary between designs. Depending on the bed, a remote may allow you to adjust powered functions such as the position of the bed.
Check the individual product description for details of how each electric bed operates and which controls are included. If you're specifically looking for a motorised bed that allows you to change your sleeping position, explore our dedicated Adjustable Beds collection.

Should you choose USB-A, USB-C, or both in a bed?
The right charging option depends on the devices you use. USB-A is compatible with many existing charging cables, while USB-C is increasingly common on newer smartphones, tablets and other devices. If a bed offers both, you can charge a wider range of devices from the convenience of your bedside.

A tech bed frame with headboard charging is a bed designed with integrated charging points, typically built into the headboard or another accessible part of the frame.

How do bed size, lift type and budget affect your choice?
When choosing an electric or powered bed, consider the size of bed you need, the type of powered functionality you want and your budget. Larger sizes require more bedroom space, while different designs offer different features. Comparing dimensions, functionality and price can help you find an electric bed that suits your requirements.
What storage features do USB-charging ottoman beds offer?
A USB-charging ottoman bed combines integrated charging functionality with storage beneath the mattress. Ottoman storage uses a lift-up base to provide access to the available storage space, which can be useful for keeping bedding, clothing or other bedroom items organised.
