With the adjustable bed market now valued at about USD 6.7 billion in 2023, the industry is growing for more reasons than comfort alone. At the same time, pressure injury prevention, head elevated sleep positioning, and caregiver and remote monitoring needs are showing up in the same datasets, from hospital outcomes to U.S. home health spending. One set of figures even points to a clear operational shift, with 95% of long term care facilities reporting staffing shortages, which helps explain why powered controls and efficiency focused designs matter.
