We earn a commission if you buy through the links on this page, at no extra cost to you. It does not change what we recommend, and we have not tested these products — here is what we do instead.
This is the base we currently rank first in our main comparison, and the reason is narrow: it publishes its leg heights as four actual measurements — 8, 10, 11 and 13 inches — with an under-frame light alongside them. For a reader whose problem is getting out of bed at night, those are the two features that touch the actual problem. It is no longer alone in that: re-reading the listings on 23 September 2026 found the Marsail queen publishing the same four heights, and it is the cheaper of the two.

Amada 01B-Q1 Queen Adjustable Bed Frame
The queen that publishes its leg heights as actual inches — four of them — with an under-frame light alongside, which is the combination that matters if getting out is the problem.

What works
- Four leg heights published as measurements, not a count, so the sleep surface can be planned to your legs before delivery
- An LED night light under the frame, which is the difference between a lit path to the bathroom and feeling for the wall
- A published 750 lb capacity, and a USB-A and a USB-C on each side so the phone, the hearing aid charger and the lamp do not fight over one outlet
What doesn’t
- The listing publishes the leg heights but never the depth of the deck on top of them, so the finished sleep surface is still an estimate until it arrives
- The zero-gravity preset is named but the angles it drives to are not, so what the button actually does is unknown until you press it
- Queen only in this listing, so a split configuration is not an option here

The case for it
Four leg heights published as inches mean the finished height of the bed is a decision rather than a delivery surprise. That sounds minor and it is not. The sleep-surface height is what determines whether you can plant both feet and stand, or whether you slide down off the edge and hope. Most listings in this category still treat the legs as packaging — three of the fourteen bases we track publish nothing about them at all.
The LED night light under the frame is the second one. It costs the manufacturer very little and it lights the floor between the bed and the door — which, on the CDC's falls figures, is where a meaningful share of the risk sits for this age group. A USB-A and a USB-C on each side is a small thing that turns out to matter, because a phone, a hearing-aid charger and a lamp otherwise compete for one outlet behind a heavy bed you cannot move. Neither feature is rare: ten of the fourteen bases publish a light and ten publish USB charging, which is why neither should pick the bed for you.
The case against it
The capacity is published now — 750 lb, on high-strength steel, with the listing also claiming 15,000 lift cycles. What it does not say is whether 750 lb is a distributed rating or an edge rating, and on a frame whose whole selling point to this reader is that you will sit on the edge of it twice a day, that is the distinction that matters. We would still ask the seller which it is, and whether the figure includes the mattress. Why the question matters.
The zero-gravity preset the listing now names comes without the one number that would describe it: no listing in our comparison publishes the angles the button actually drives to, so what position you get is unknown until you press it. There is no anti-snore preset here either. If you want both on a button, the DOMIA T600 publishes zero-gravity and anti-snore, and the zero-gravity comparison sets out which listings name what.
And it is queen-only in this listing. If two of you want independent positions, that is a split king question, not this bed — and the same seller's split king has its own review, with the same lit handset and the same silence about height — though the same maker sells a split king on the same leg system, which we review separately.
What we could not verify
- The depth of the deck above the legs, and therefore the finished frame height at each of the four leg settings. The leg heights are published; the deck is not.
- Whether the 750 lb figure includes the mattress, and whether it is a distributed or an edge rating. Not published.
- Motor noise. Not published on this listing.
- Whether the control box, remote and actuators are available as spare parts, and for how long. Not published, and worth asking — see how adjustable beds work.
- Warranty terms, which vary by seller and by date and are not something we will paraphrase from memory.
Who should buy it
Someone sleeping alone or with a partner who wants the same position, whose main goal is a bed that sits at the right height and is easy to find your way out of at night. If your goal is the highest published weight rating, the Mixcous king is the one that publishes a figure. If your goal is the cheapest route to head elevation, start under $1,000.
Questions people actually ask
Is the Amada 01B-Q1 a good adjustable bed?
On the specification it publishes, yes — four adjustable leg heights and an under-frame LED are the two things this audience most benefits from, and few competitors publish both. It also publishes a 750 lb capacity. What it still does not publish is the frame height off the floor, which is the one figure we would want before recommending it without reservation.
How high is the Amada 01B-Q1 off the floor?
Half of it is now published and half is not. The listing states four leg heights as measurements — 8, 10, 11 and 13 inches, built from 2, 3 and 8 inch sections — but never the depth of the deck that sits on top of them, so the finished frame height is still leg height plus an unpublished number. Measure the deck on arrival, add your mattress thickness, and compare against your own target height.
Does the Amada 01B-Q1 have zero gravity?
Yes. The listing, re-read on 23 September 2026, names a zero-gravity setting alongside head elevation to 65 degrees and foot elevation to 45 degrees. It does not name an anti-snore preset, and it does not publish the angles zero gravity itself drives to — no listing in our comparison does. Our earlier reading of this listing said no preset was named; that was true of the listing as it stood and is no longer true of it now.
Can you put a bed rail on the Amada 01B-Q1?
The listing does not address it. Rail compatibility on any adjustable base depends on the frame, and clamped rails can foul the hinge when the deck bends. See rails for adjustable beds before ordering one.
