Questions shoppers ask

Which brand of bed frames & bases has the best warranty?

On paper, GhostBed scores highest, with 1 year of full coverage and longer coverage on some parts. Ergomotion covers everything longest, at 2 years.

Is a long warranty on bed frames & bases really that long?

Often not for the whole product. Many longer warranties cover only certain parts after the first year or two, and you usually pay for the labor. The bars above show full and partial coverage separately.

Do I need to register to get the warranty?

None of the 19 brands require registration for their basic coverage. Registering can still get you recall notices. Keep your receipt either way.
