Get under your bed and see if everything is still OK. The arms that lift the bed will sometimes bend. Also the hydraulic ram screws will pull out of the floor. I posted on on Yahoo groups how I fixed mine and it's been great since. Here is that post;

We've had problems with our power lift king bed. I have not seen it
discussed so I don't think it's a big issue. However this is what
happened. The hydraulic cylinder pushed and after a few lifts the arms
that lift the bed turned into pretzels. Walnut Ridge said they'd seen
this before and the fix was to strengthen these arms, which they did.
Well that lasted about 2 lifts and the "U" channel that holds the ram
(it's held to the floor with 6 screws) ripped out of the floor. Now
for the good part! Yesterday I took everything apart and drilled more
holes into the "U" channel. It's now held to the floor with 16 bigger
and better screws. It seems to work very well. Only time will tell for
sure. While I had everything apart I removed all the springs and the
fabric that they held. BTW the fabric was tearing the bottom of our
Select Comfort mattress. I replaced the fabric with 2 pieces of luan.
Now the bed covers don't catch on those d__m springs. So far so good.
It seem like a big and easy improvement.

Hope this helps.
