How to Move an Adjustable Bed

An adjustable bed base is a motorized frame, so the priorities are electrical and mechanical: return it to flat, disconnect power, and protect the motor and hinges. It is heavy, so plan for two people.

Pro tip: Bag the remote, power adapter, and leg bolts together and label them, since a missing adapter can strand a proprietary base.

Watch out: Always return the base to flat and unplug it before moving; transporting it articulated or powered risks the motor, hinges, and wiring.
