The best adjustable beds come with warranties to help offset these costs, but you should know that the costs of maintaining an electric bed are typically more than that of a stationary one.

Is it OK to leave adjustable bed in upright position?
The beauty of an adjustable base is to elevate the mattress to your comfort level while you use it. For long-term durability reasons, we don’t recommend storing your mattress in the elevated position when it isn’t actively in use. Instead, make sure it is entirely flat.
