The Purple PowerBase adjustable bed frame lets you rest and work in comfort

Purple™ PowerBase: The Adjustable Bed that You Never Knew You Always Wanted

While the idea of having a robot in the bedroom may seem odd, when that robot comes in the form of a powerful PowerBase for your bed, all that machination and automation really comes in handy. Meet the Purple PowerBase, a new fully adjustable bed frame that promises to give you uniquely customized comfort and, most importantly, a better night’s sleep.

Perhaps one of the more sophisticated adjustable bases we’ve seen, the PowerBase offers not only the ability to adjust the position of your bed, but also its height as well. In addition to the programmable remote control, which you’ll use to set your favorite positions for reading, watching TV, sleeping, or anything in between, the bed also comes with attachments for three height options. So no matter how you like to spend your time in bed, Purple should have you covered.

This adjustable frame is claimed to offer 1,549,212 custom comfort positions as you alternately raise or lower your head, feet, or both areas simultaneously. The remote control allows you to set four customizable positions (most other beds only allow two or three), and also comes with a Zero Gravity option and an Anti-Snore button. The Zero Gravity option reduces G-Force pressure, mimicking the fetal position and elevating  your legs in an attempt to relieve lower back pain, swollen feet, or high blood pressure. As for the Anti-Snore setting, this elevates your head to help you breathe a bit easier (and your partner, too). Of course, you won’t have to depend on the remote control, as the companion Purple app will also allow you to manage just about everything about your bed from your phone.

For some additional R&R, the  Purple PowerBase also boasts a massage feature with five adjustable settings. But this isn’t the same massage promised by a number of other adjustable frames. First off, Purple’s massage targets your back, buttocks, and foot. But more uniquely, the PowerBase doesn’t just vibrate the bed. Instead, it claims to leverage “patented resonant-frequency massagers that can dilate your blood vessels, resulting in easier blood flow.” This in turn is said to lead to healthier blood flow, reduced stress, and general rejuvenation.

And as for the tech-obsessed among us, the PowerBase is capable of turning your bed into a home office. Not only can you adjust your position for optimum laptop work, but there are also USB and power outlets built into the bed so that you can easily keep you devices charged without ever crawling out of your pillow fort. Plus, there’s under-bed lighting if you need a little extra illumination when you’re burning the midnight oil.

While the Purple PowerBase does not have a trial or return policy, it does come with a 20-year limited warranty. The base is offered in a twin XL, queen, and split king sizes, and prices start at $1,399.

Cyber Monday Milwaukee deals: up to 55% off M18 and M12 tools
Milwaukee M18 Inflator connected to a van tire.

Milwaukee is one of the most interesting of the big cordless power tool companies, simply because it just has great tools. For starters, the Milwaukee line goes above and beyond when it comes to providing quality — you'll see the brand represented among the best Cyber Monday drill deals, for example, and you'll also see them top out-of-the-way charts like our collection of the best portable tire inflators.

Simply put, Milwaukee gets the job done — regardless of the task at hand. At the same time, figuring out which line of their Cyber Monday power tool deals is best for you (the M12 or the M18) can be a bit challenging. While it doesn't sound too complex, one powers less powerful 12V tools while the other handles stronger 18V tools, if you've ever forgotten where your keys are you might also easily forget which Milwaukee line you're building up a battery collection for. So, take a deep breath before assessing these Cyber Monday deals, checking over what each one is, and maybe even hopping out to your garage to double-check what you have.
Our top pick: Milwaukee M18 Tire Inflator (Tool only) — $150 $310 52% off
