Adjustable-bed guide

What does the zero-gravity position actually do?

Zero gravity is a coordinated head-and-foot elevation intended to create a supported, reclined posture.

Key takeaway: Zero gravity is a position, not a medical treatment. Try it, adjust it to your body and decide whether it improves your personal comfort.

The basic idea

The base raises the upper body and legs so the knees are elevated and weight feels more evenly distributed. The exact angles vary by base and can usually be adjusted.

Why people like it

Some shoppers enjoy the supported, relaxed feeling for resting, reading or watching television. Others prefer only slight elevation rather than the preset position.

Test the complete system

The mattress changes how the position feels. Test the mattress and base together, check for sliding or bunching and make sure returning to flat feels smooth.
