Edith - A new bed frame for my new mattress?

Edith writes:
 
I've always been curious, why do frames need to be replaced? Seems like
they're steel and would last for ages.

Hi Edith,
Like most other things, it depends on the quality.
There is only one frame made that you could probably leave in your will. It's made by Leggitt & Platt and is called "The Instamatic". 
Check to see if your frame is ok. If it "ain't broke" and has the proper center supports, there's no need to replace it.
Or, you just put your mattress on the floor, if you've a mind to. After 2 weeks of getting up and down from a mattress on the floor, you'll be amazed at how much stronger you'll feel. (Just waited 2 weeks for our adjustable bed base to arrive...that's how I know that.)


Thanks, Pete

Mary - S&F Foxbridge on adjustable base

I recently purchased a Leggett & Platt bed. I also purhased the Stearns & Foster Foxbridge matress. The salesman assured me this mattress would work well with the L&P bed, I would like to know if this is true or just salesman-speak.

Hi Mary,
The S&F is made with a border rod that goes around the coils and the foam edge is attached to that.
Once that rod bends, you won't be able to bend it back.
This is not a mattress I would recommend for use with an adjustable bed.

Dual Mattress for old Craftmatic bed

Marlene of Sunset, writes:
Hello, I need help, I have MS, I was given an old craftmatic bed, which I heard weren't good, several problems, I would need to get new mattresses, I've had memory foam matttresses and they end up with sink holes, brand new 2mos old. What is the best to get I heard leggett & pratt had Wonderful quality mattresses. Help! Too many people giving too much information.

Hi Marlene,
Leggett & Platt doesn't make mattresses. They make adjustable bed bases...among other things. A Sealy SpringFree latex mattress would be the thing to buy. The Beachside has a medium feel and the River Crest is a bit softer. Whichever suits your taste in comfort would be the better choice.

Adjustable Bed

susan of , writes:
could you reccommend a bed and mattress for me ? i'm 5'4'' and 330 lbs. i find that sleeping in a recliner is most comfortable for me so i thought an adjustable bed might be worth the investment. but i have no idea where to start.

Hi Susan,
Most of the adustable bed bases are made by Leggett & Platt, and distributed under the Sealy, Simmons or Serta labels. They are very well made and it sounds like just what you need. The most durable mattress is latex. You'll find special pricing for those on our website. The best choice in mattresses happens to be the least expensive...the Sealy SpringFree Beachside.

Spring Mattresses for an Adjustable Bed

Chor of Avon, Ohio, writes:
I am planning on buying an adjustable bed (made by Leggett and Pratt). I have tried memory foam mattresses on a flat bed before and had back aches from them. I would like to get a spring coil bed with the adjustable bed. The salesman at Mattress Warehouse recommends a Simmons Beautyrest which cost $416 (Queen size). He says that the springs in the Simmons Beautyrest are independent springs which can adjust to an adjustable bed. Your Blogs appear to discourage use of Spring mattresses for adjustable beds. I am confused! Help!

Hi Chor,
A Beautyrest will work on an adjustable bed. Make sure you get the 13.75 gauge wire in the coils. Memory foam is lousy stuff and shouldn't be thought of as your only foam choice. Latex is far superior and with none of the ill side effects of memory foam. It's your best choice for an adjustable bed. But then again, you won't get a latex mattress for anywhere near $416.

Adjustable Bed

HELEN of CULLYBACKEY, writes:
I have Fibromyalgia and have suffered from bulging discs and sciatica for many years. I have a memory foam topper on my current bed but am seriously considering buying an adjustamatic bed. I wake frequently, usually because of pain or due to having restless leg syndrome as well.
I am not sure whether to get a memory foam mattress or a spring one or a mixture. Can you advise?

Hi Helen,
If getting an adjustable bed, a foam mattress works best. The best of the foams is latex, not memory foam. And, you may want to check the prices on our website before you buy. They aren't cheap and you don't want to over pay.

Sealy Posturematic remote

lois of new york, writes:
as of today my remote for my sealy posturematic xl bed stopped working (i purchased this bed from u around 6 years ago and have been happy with my purchase). is there a place under the bed where i can manually move to elevate the bed? also, i would like to replace the remote. is there a website i could go to so i can order a new one or does ur store sell them? i'll even take a phone number. thank you for your assistance.

Hi Lois. I'm glad to hear you have been happy with your purchase. I don't think you can move it manually. Here is the number for the Adjustable Bed Customer Service...800-888-3078 (they will need the model number off your bed base). The remote is a warranty issue. They should be able to send you a new one.

Kathy - I have an 8 year old Simmons adjustable bed

Kathy of Metropolis, writes:
I have an 8 year old Simmons adjustable bed. I recently added a new Sealy adjustable bed to the same room. Now my older bed will not operate with its remote. But, my remote from my new bed will elevate the foot of the simmons bed at the same time that it elevates the head of the Sealy Bed. I have tried to reprogram them both. They both worked for 3 weeks before this started to happen. Help me if you can.
 
Hi Kathy. Sounds like a 3 Stooges short. I'd suggest video taping it and sending the tape to America's Funniest Videos.
The Sealy adjustable bed is made by Leggitt & Platt. I'm betting that the Simmons is too.
L&P's consumer service number is 1-800-888-3078. You should be able to starighten it out with them directly.

Setup of an adjustable bed

Candace of Wichita, writes:
Can you explain the setup of an adjustable bed. Can I still use my regular boxsprings or does it replace the boxsprings. Can I use my headboard? I have read many Q&A on your blog and looked at the web-site but am not sure I understand it all. I am looking at buying a Sealy Latex mattress.

Hi Candace. The adjustable bed base replaces the boxspring and accepts only a mattress...and one that will bend. Brackets come with them to attach a headboard. You'll find pricing on our adjustable bed page for the beds and the mattresses priced together.
