I was a skeptic for a long time. This base helped me so much. I am a medically retired disabled veteran, with back and shoulder injuries. Took little while to find the right adjustment for me. I do wish there was a numerical reference to your settings. But it's not terrible. My wife is 5 months pregnant now and also loves the flexibility when she's uncomfortable she can just change the position of the bed. The night light feature and the massager are a must.
