The Malouf Structures S655 Adjustable Base is a sophisticated and versatile bed foundation designed to enhance comfort and sleep quality through customizable positioning and integrated features. This adjustable base is intended for in-home use, offering a range of functionalities that cater to individual preferences and needs.
Function Description:
The primary function of the S655 Adjustable Base is to allow users to adjust the head and foot sections of their bed to various positions. This is achieved through integrated motors that smoothly elevate or lower different parts of the mattress. The base also includes a head tilt motor for additional neck and head support. Beyond basic adjustments, the S655 features a massage function with multiple intensity levels and massage types, providing a relaxing experience. Underbed LED lights offer ambient illumination, while built-in USB ports provide convenient charging for electronic devices. The base is designed to support a mattress and bedding, accommodating various weight restrictions depending on the size.
Usage Features:
The S655 Adjustable Base is operated via a wireless remote control, which comes pre-paired with the foundation for immediate use. The remote features a comprehensive set of buttons for controlling all aspects of the bed's functionality.
- Adjustable Positioning:
- Head Up/Down: Allows for manual adjustment of the head section.
- Foot Up/Down: Enables manual adjustment of the foot section.
- Head Tilt Up/Down: Provides fine-tuning for head and neck support.
- Pre-Programmed Positions: The remote includes several one-touch preset positions for convenience:
- Zero Gravity: A position designed to evenly distribute weight, reducing pressure on the body.
- Anti Snore: A position that slightly raises the head to help alleviate snoring.
- TV/Read: An elevated position ideal for watching television or reading in bed.
- Lounge: A comfortable reclined position.
- Flat: Returns the bed to a completely flat position.
- Programmable Memory Positions: In addition to the pre-programmed settings, the S655 offers one memory position (MEM) that users can customize and save. To program a position, the user adjusts the bed to their desired setting, then holds down the "Flat" button, and simultaneously presses the desired position button to reprogram it.

- Foot Massage On/Intensity: Activates and adjusts the intensity of the foot massage (three levels).
- Massage Type: Users can select from three massage options: Wave, Pulse, or Constant.
- Timer Setting & Massage Off: A timer button allows users to set the massage duration for 10, 20, or 30 minutes. An "Off/Last" button turns off all massage functions and can also recall the previous massage type and timer settings. It is recommended to allow the massage function to rest for 30 minutes after each use.
- Underbed Lights: A dedicated button on the remote controls the underbed LED lights, providing soft illumination.
- USB Ports: USB charging ports are conveniently located under the head portion of the bed base. To access them, the user simply raises the head section of the bed.
- Remote Lock/Unlock: For safety and to prevent accidental adjustments, the remote control features a lock safety feature. Holding the "Lock" button for 5-7 seconds will lock or unlock the remote. When locked, no buttons will function, and the "Lock" button will illuminate red if pressed.
- Emergency Flat Position: In case of a power outage or other emergency, a blue button on the control box cord can be used to lower the base to the flat position, providing a backup method for adjustment.
- Synchronizing Two Bases: For Twin XL or Split sizes, two bases can be synchronized to operate either simultaneously with a single remote (wireless option) or independently while physically connected (wired option).
- Wireless Synchronization: Involves pairing one remote to both bases by pressing specific buttons on the remote and the control box.
- Wired Synchronization: Requires connecting the two bases with a Sync Cable plugged into the control box of each base.
Maintenance Features:
The S655 Adjustable Base is designed for minimal user maintenance, focusing on ease of setup and troubleshooting.
- Battery Installation: The remote control requires three AAA batteries, which are included. Users can easily remove the battery cover on the back of the remote to install or replace them.
- Backup Battery System: In the event of a power outage, the base can be temporarily powered by two 9V batteries (not included) installed in the power supply box. This allows for limited movement to a flat position. It's important to note that these backup batteries are not intended for normal operation or repeated movement over an extended period. After power is restored, the 9V batteries should be removed, and the power cord reconnected for normal use.
- Troubleshooting Guide: The manual provides clear instructions for troubleshooting common issues, such as:
- Remote control not working or activating wrong functions: Users are advised to check wired connections under the bed, ensure no cords or bedding obstruct movement, and verify that motors are plugged into the correct input on the control box.
- Remote control lights not illuminating: Users should check if the remote lock is deactivated, ensure batteries are correctly installed, or replace them.
- Remote control lights illuminate but functions don't work: Recommendations include checking power cord connections, unplugging the base for one hour to reset electronic components, or testing the base with a different electrical outlet. Using a grounded electrical surge protector is also recommended.
- Warranty Information: The product is backed by a 20-year limited warranty, covering defects in materials or workmanship. The warranty structure is tiered, with full coverage for parts, labor, and transportation in the first year, replacement parts coverage in years 2-5 (with the purchaser bearing service and shipping costs), and prorated replacement parts coverage in years 6-20 (with the purchaser bearing a portion of the cost and all service/shipping costs).
- No User-Serviceable Parts: The product is designed to have no maintenance requirements by the user beyond battery replacement and basic troubleshooting. Users are explicitly warned not to open motor compartments, alter wiring, modify the base, or change the product in any way, as this will void the warranty.
