Available in Small Single through to Super King - with King and Super King supplied as a split design with two linked bases - it's backed by a 5-year guarantee, and qualifying customers can buy it VAT-free.
An extra firm, orthopaedic-grade memory foam adjustable bed with a 5-part frame and wired handset, designed for front and back sleepers who want firm, supportive positioning for sleeping, reading, or managing back and joint concerns.

Worth Knowing
Memory Foam Layer
What it is: A layer of high-density, heat-responsive foam that moulds to your body shape under warmth and pressure.
How it helps you: Distributes weight evenly across the surface, relieving pressure on hips, shoulders, and joints while maintaining the firm support recommended for back or joint concerns.
Anti-Allergenic Materials
What it is: The foam used in this mattress is sterilised and produced from materials that are inhospitable to dust mites.
How it helps you: Helps maintain a cleaner, fresher sleep environment - particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers.
Soft Feel Cover
What it is: A soft-to-the-touch cover that is removable and washable.
How it helps you: Keeps the sleep surface fresh and easy to care for over time.
5-Part Adjustable Frame
What it is: A motorised frame divided into five independently moving sections - back, shoulders, neck, calves, and feet.
How it helps you: Lets you fine-tune your sleeping or resting position with precision - useful for finding a position that supports specific areas of the back or relieves pressure on the legs.
Wooden Sprung Slat Base
What it is: Wooden slats with a natural spring, used in the base in place of a rigid platform.
How it helps you: Works in conjunction with the mattress to flex where you exert the most pressure, giving a comfortable and supportive feel whether the bed is flat or elevated.
Twin Motor Mechanism
What it is: Two separate motors, allowing the head and foot of the bed to be adjusted independently.
How it helps you: Lets you find your ideal sleeping or resting position, adjusting head and foot at the same time or separately - useful for tailored support or added comfort.
Wired Handset
What it is: A corded remote control that connects to the base and operates the motors.
How it helps you: Provides reliable, straightforward control - always within reach on the bedside, with no batteries required.
Chrome Glides
What it is: Chrome-finished glides fitted to the underside of the base.
How it helps you: Provide smooth mobility and protect your floors, while adding a sleek, modern touch to the bed's design.

The Backcare Firm is also available with the optional Lifestyle base upgrade. This replaces the Wooden Sprung Slat Base with a Strong Board Base for even weight distribution, and is a 4 Part Twin Motor system offering independent adjustment of the head, legs, and lumbar areas. It replaces the wired handset with a wireless remote control featuring a built-in torch and mobile app availability, adds a memory function to store preferred positions, and includes an emergency lowering feature that returns the base to flat in the event of a power cut. The Lifestyle base also increases the maximum user weight to 30 stone. For advice on upgrading, call our team on 01928 242 829.
A matching Repton headboard is available as an optional extra for the Backcare Firm. It is a deep-padded design available in matching fabrics and colours, standing 61cm (24'') in height with a depth of 7cm (2.75''), available in all sizes from Small Single to Super King. It attaches to the base using standard adjustable struts for a secure, seamless fit.
Vs standard divan beds: A standard divan bed sits flat and cannot be adjusted. An adjustable bed allows independent elevation of the head and foot, which is useful for reading, watching TV, managing snoring or acid reflux, or supporting recovery from surgery or illness. Divan beds are typically lower in profile, simpler to dress, and cost significantly less. An adjustable bed is the right choice when positioning matters - for health reasons or everyday comfort. If a flat, low-profile bed is what you need, a divan is the better fit.
Vs other adjustable beds in the range: The Backcare Firm sits toward the firmer, more clinically-focused end of the adjustable bed range, with a foam-only, orthopaedic-grade mattress rather than a hybrid or pocket-sprung construction. Its wired handset and 5-part standard frame make it a straightforward, dependable choice, while the optional Lifestyle upgrade brings it closer to premium models with a wireless remote, memory function, and emergency lowering. It's a strong option for firm-support seekers, though those wanting a softer feel or spring-based construction as standard may prefer another model in the range.
Vs buying the mattress separately: This adjustable bed is also available as a mattress-only purchase - useful if you already have a compatible adjustable base and want to upgrade the mattress without replacing the whole bed. If you are buying your first adjustable bed, purchasing the base and mattress together ensures compatibility. The mattress-only listing for this bed can be found here.
The Backcare Firm is backed by Adjust-A-Bed's 5-year guarantee, covering the base, mattress, and motorised mechanisms against defects in materials and workmanship. Motor cover is included as standard, giving buyers confidence in the build quality of a product that is more mechanically complex than a standard bed.
The Backcare Firm combines an extra firm, orthopaedic-grade memory foam mattress with a 5-part adjustable base and a 5-year guarantee - a dependable choice for anyone who wants firm, supportive positioning for sleeping, reading, or managing back and joint concerns. Available in Small Single through to Super King, with King and Super King supplied as a split design for independent adjustment, and free UK delivery included.
VAT relief is available for qualifying customers. Find out if you are eligible.

No this adjustable bed does not come with a headboard, you can add this on using the drop down options.
All bed bases, divan beds and adjustable beds we sell come with pre drilled holes in the base. Find these holes and pierce the fabric.
