The provided documentation details several adjustable bed bases available to consumers, focusing on features, customer service options, and purchasing considerations.

Adjustable Bed Base Features
Adjustable bed bases offer a range of features designed to enhance sleep comfort and address specific needs. Several models include preset positions, such as zero gravity, designed to relieve pressure points by elevating the head and foot to create a weightless sensation. The anti-snore setting elevates the head of the bed to open airways and potentially reduce snoring. A TV mode raises the head to a comfortable viewing height. Some bases, like the Nectar Adjustable Base, offer additional features such as built-in USB ports, under-bed lighting, and massage functions with varying intensity levels. Programmability is also a key feature, allowing users to save up to three preferred sleep positions for quick access.
Model-Specific Features and Considerations

However, it lacks more advanced features like under-bed lighting or a backlit remote. The documentation notes that this base is suitable for those who value function over additional amenities. It does not offer a trial period or returns. Customer service is available via phone, text, email, live chat, and website submission.

It includes two built-in USB ports on each side of the head of the bed for convenient charging, under-bed lighting, and a massage function with three intensity levels.
