Reverie 8Q: A Superior Adjustable Power Bed Foundation

Full Reverie 8Q Power Foundation Review

One complaint many consumers voice is that they cannot find the right pillow or mattress and no matter what they do, a good night’s rest cannot be had. The solution is many times quite simple, it isn’t the mattress, the pillow or their sleep position . . . it is the simple fact their bed foundation is inadequate!

The solution: The Reverie 8Q Power Foundation, a custom adjustable bed frame that allows the head, feet and knees to be positioned in virtually any angle for maximum comfort.

What Kind of Adjustable Bed is the Reverie 8Q?

The Reverie 8Q is an electrically powered adjustable bed frame. The head, feet and knees can be positioned independently so the user can find the proper sleep position.

People who enjoy reading, watching television, surfing the internet or other activities in bed will also love the 8Q to find that perfectly comfortable and relaxing position.

How Firm is the Reverie 8Q?

As a bed foundation, the Reverie 8Q is very firm and this reflects the level of construction necessary to move a mattress and the body weight of the users to various positions.

Since the 8Q is a solid foundation, this will mean the mattress will perform as designed because a very firm foundation that has excellent support actually means the mattress will work as designed.

Soft and supportive mattresses will be even more supportive with a firm foundation because the internal springs of the mattress have the proper support to operate.

Many bed foundations are simply constructed inadequately and do not provide a surface for the springs to rest on, which means the mattress loses its designed level of comfort.

The Reverie 8Q’s firmness will mean users can finally get the comfort and performance they expect from their mattress.

Does the Reverie 8Q Provide Good Motion Isolation?

The 8Q provides a level of motion isolation that is far superior to a traditional box spring or steel frame or wooden frame foundation. It features individual steel cross slats closely positioned next to each other for optimal mattress support.

The steel cross slats are bolted to the outside of the frame and coated black for a sophisticated look. The motor mechanisms are securely fastened to the frame and use quiet roller bearings, which allows for the foundation to move without disturbing a sleeping partner.

It is important to remember that the foundation is just one part of motion isolation with the other being a mattress that has a good motion isolation design.

When a mattress is properly supported, it can use all of it’s springs or other features to provide motion isolation.

This means mattress selection is critical because the foundation will make the mattress perform as designed.

So with the Reverie 8Q, it is important to choose a high quality mattress with excellent motion isolation to get the maximum benefit from the foundation. Have a look at our Best Mattress Guide to find the perfect match for your needs.

Does this Adjustable Bed Come in Split and Single Foundations? Why is this Important?

The 8Q is available in both split and single foundations for a variety of mattress sizes. A split adjustable foundation is important for users sleeping with partners as an individual’s personal sleep position preference typically differs from their partners.

A person who likes to sleep with their head angled up or with their legs elevated might have a partner with different desired sleep position, which would make the foundation a burden for both. The 8Q split foundation allows for each person to select their own sleep position without disturbing the other.

The foundation can be moved silently and without disturbing a partner, a tremendous benefit for people who like to change positions throughout the night.

How do I Control the Reverie 8Q? Are there Pre-Set Positions?

The Reverie 8Q has two options for control: a Reverie remote control or via an application on a smart phone. The remote control is back-lit and ergonomic, with one remote control for each side of the bed if the foundation is split.

Reverie has an app for smart phones that performs all the functions of the remote control and connects to the foundation through Bluetooth.

The head, knees and feet are all independently and infinitely adjustable so the proper position can be found for any individual.

The remote can be programmed with two custom memory settings, while the smart phone app has 4 memory slots.

There are several pre-set positions for the 8Q that can be accessed through the remote or the smart phone: zero-gravity, anti-snore and flat.

How Long Can I Expect the Reverie 8Q to Last?

The 8Q is the premium bed foundation offered by Reverie and is expected to provide a lifetime of use. The foundation is constructed from steel and covered with a durable, yet appealing fabric.

The motors are high-quality units that should likewise continue to operate as designed for the lifespan of the foundation.

Can I Fit a Decorative Frame Around the 8Q or Use a Headboard?

Headboards can be mounted directly to the 8Q if desired.
