Why our sleep experts loved it
Sleepmotion bed frames have been part of the Dreams adjustable-bed solutions for a number of years now and are one of a limited-run of adjustable frames on the market. I got hands-on with the Sleepmotion 200i on the shop floor at Dreams and it instantly reminded me why people get a bit obsessed with adjustable bases once they’ve tried one. Odds are, if you've slept on an adjustable frame before, it just might have been one from the team behind Sleepmotion. The frame packs numerous benefits for both sleep and relaxation, giving you new ergonomic positions to sleep in while also allowing the frame to adjust to lift legs or head depending on model, giving you the ability to watch TV without having to prop yourself up using the headboard.
The 200i model here features a wireless remote control to allow you to quickly and easily adjust the base to your specification. In my hands the remote felt straightforward (big buttons, no squinting), and the head/foot movement was smooth rather than jerky when I held the button down. That said, you do get motor noise when it’s moving - not outrageous, but if you’re adjusting positions while your partner’s drifting off, they’ll hear it. That's not all though, the platform is also smart capable, allowing you to control it via the Napp by Dreams app available on both android and IOS.
Available in all popular sizes, the 200i is the cheapest model in the range to offer both head and foot adjustable movement and is probably the one best suited for those requiring elevation in the lower area where the 100i is the barebones version that is the minimum required to watch TV comfortably.
The key selling point of the Sleepmotion 200i Adjustable Platform Bed Frame is that it allows you to keep your head elevated while you sleep which helps keep airwaves open (we've all experienced blocked noses the moment our head hits the pillow), this i turn can have a positive affect on your REM cycle while also reducing the amount of tossing and turning, keeping your partner happy as well. Lying on it in a slight “zero gravity-ish” position (head up a touch, knees up a touch), I could feel the pressure come off my lower back compared to being flat, which is usually where I notice it first. On the flip side, if you’re the type who loves a really firm, dead-flat base, an adjustable platform can feel a bit “mechanical” underneath depending on the mattress you pair it with, so it’s worth trying your own mattress on it if you can.
With over 200 reviews and an impressive 97% consumer satisfaction, it's clear customers love the Sleepmotion 200i. Customers particularly enjoyed how supportive the adjustable frame is on their backs, with many who have disabilities chiming in to say it has completely transformed their nights sleep, making it easier to rest comfortably.
For me personally, the 200i sits in the good-value bracket because you’re getting both head and foot adjustment without jumping to the pricier models, and it genuinely changes how you lounge and wind down. I do think Dreams could make life easier by being clearer about what mattresses play nicely with it (some are fine, some really aren’t), and if you’re buying it mainly for app control, just remember you’re relying on your phone and the app behaving itself rather than a simple button press every time.
