How to Set Up Your Nolah Adjustable Base with Wall Glide

Setting up an adjustable base can transform your sleep experience, but proper installation is key to unlocking all its benefits. The Nolah adjustable base with Wall Glide is designed to keep your nightstand within reach as you recline, eliminating the common frustration of drifting away from your bedside table. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the entire setup process, from unboxing to final adjustments, so you can enjoy personalized comfort from night one.

Whether you’re pairing it with a Nolah Signature mattress or another compatible model, following these steps will ensure your base operates smoothly and safely. Let’s get started.

Unboxing and Preparing Your Adjustable Base

Carefully open the box and remove all components. You should find the base frame, power cord, remote control, and hardware kit. Lay the base on a clean, flat surface near your bed frame. If you have a Nolah mattress, remember that it works best with a compatible adjustable base for optimal support and durability.

Inspect the frame for any visible damage and ensure all parts are present. It’s helpful to have a second person assist with lifting and positioning, as the base can be heavy. Clear the area of any obstacles and make sure your bed frame or foundation can support the weight of the base and mattress.

• Tip: Keep the original box and packaging for at least 30 days in case you need to return or exchange the base.

Assembling the Base Frame

Attach the legs to the base frame using the provided bolts and a screwdriver. Most Nolah adjustable bases come with adjustable legs to accommodate different bed heights. Level the base by turning the leg glides clockwise or counterclockwise until the frame sits evenly on the floor.

Next, connect the power cord to the base and plug it into a grounded outlet. Do not use an extension cord. If your base includes a wireless remote, insert the batteries and pair it with the base by following the instructions in the manual. The remote should be within range of the base for initial pairing.

• Tip: Use a bubble level to ensure the base is perfectly horizontal before proceeding.

Understanding the Wall Glide Feature

The Wall Glide feature is designed to move the mattress toward the head of the bed as you raise the head section, keeping your nightstand and lamp within easy reach. To activate it, ensure the base is positioned with the head end against the wall. When you recline, the base will glide forward slightly, then return to its original position when you lie flat.

This mechanism requires a few inches of clearance behind the base. Measure the distance from the head of the base to the wall; ideally, leave 2-4 inches of space. The Wall Glide works best with mattresses that are flexible enough to bend with the base, such as the Nolah Signature, which is engineered for adjustable bases.

• Tip: Test the Wall Glide by raising the head section to 30 degrees and observing the movement. Adjust the base position if it hits the wall.

Positioning the Mattress on the Base

Place your mattress onto the base, aligning it with the head and foot ends. If you’re using a Nolah Signature, ensure the mattress is centered and the cover is not bunched. For best results, use a mattress protector to keep the surface clean and reduce friction.

Some adjustable bases include a retaining bar at the foot to prevent the mattress from sliding. If your base has one, make sure the mattress sits snugly against it. Once the mattress is in place, test the base’s movement by slowly raising and lowering the head and foot sections. The mattress should flex without shifting excessively.

• Tip: Pair your base with the Nolah Tencel Sateen Sheet Set for a smooth, breathable surface that moves with the base without bunching.

Programming the Remote and Final Adjustments

Most Nolah adjustable bases come with a remote that allows you to save custom positions. To program a favorite position, adjust the head and foot to your desired angle, then press and hold the memory button until the remote beeps. You can store up to two positions, such as a reading mode and a zero-gravity mode.

Test all functions, including the massage feature if available. Make sure the remote’s range covers your bedside area. If the base does not respond, check the power connection and remote batteries. Finally, secure any loose cables along the base’s underside using the provided clips to keep your setup tidy.

• Tip: For side sleepers, consider adding the Side Support Knee Pillow to maintain spinal alignment while using the adjustable base.

With your Nolah adjustable base fully set up and the Wall Glide feature working smoothly, you’re ready to enjoy a personalized sleep experience. For the perfect finishing touch, explore the Nolah Signature mattress, which is designed to complement your adjustable base with optimal comfort and support.
