Adjustable bed frame? Pros and Cons?

I am drooling over the pictures of adjustable bed frames.  Costco has one with some sort of Latex mattress.  I could also see purchasing the do-it-yourself layers so that softness can be adjusted.  I like plush, but my spouse is a stomach sleeper. 

Currently, I pile up a few different pillows trying to get comfortable for sitting / reclining in bed where I can use my laptop.  But I can't tell if the adjustable bed frames actually raise up "enough" to do this.

Of course, the whisper quiet motor and the perfect Latex mattress (split for King) would be just the thing.  This is not something I could justify right now - but it's never too soon to start researching!

So - please post any pros and cons about adjustable frames and different brands. 

Trying to understand the difference between the motor choices.  And seems like the wall-hugger feature would be handy (to keep the night table within reach) but I don't know if something else is sacrificed for that.

Comments welcome!

I have had adjustable bed (plus latex mattress) for over 3 months now, can't think of any cons about the adjustable bed.  The only thing that's not perfect is that even with wall-hugger, I am still away from my nightstand somewhat, but maybe my 11" thick latex mattress has something to do with it.

I've heard nothing but good things about the Eco (? I can' t remember but I think that was the name) brand wall hugger with massage and remote control. Am thinking of getting a full size to use in the living room as a La-Z-Boy! Not sure how they are to sleep on but I have had occasion to sit on them and I like that you can adjust them so you don't get tired of sitting in just one position.

I plan to buy just the base from Ebay and then buy my own HD foam plus latex topper for the cushion - cheaper that way if you shop for the foam.
