The TEMPUR-Up Foundation by TEMPUR-Pedic is the most basic of adjustable beds. It is like a flat foundation except for being able to elevate the head section. This is an option offered by many adjustable bed suppliers. Some mattress manufacturers make split-top mattresses to be used with split top head-only adjustable foundations.
The TEMPUR-Up Foundation has a virtually unlimited number of positions for the head section, up to 65° for sitting. This will allow slight elevation for easier breathing while sleeping, and sitting up for reading or using a tablet. The head can be fully raised in as little as 30 seconds.
In a split size base, the two heads can be operated separately to accomodate the needs of each sleeper. A sync cable can let the two sides be operated as one.
The quiet motor of the TEMPUR-Up is controlled with a wired handset. Besides the Up and Down adjustment buttons, there is one button to lower the bed to the flat position. This is done by allowing gravity to lower the head–safer than powering it down.
This foundation is designed to be durable, and to fit within standard sized beds. It also comes with legs of three heights and headboard brackets so it can be used as the bed. The mattress retainer bars are shaped to let the sheets be changed easily.
The TEMPUR-Up Foundation is covered by a 15-year warranty. It is compatible with most TEMPUR-Pedic mattresses.
