I would echo what Beach Lover has to say about the Beckley and the toppers..and the Hastens topper for that matter. We have really begun to enjoy this bed most now that we have added 2" of memory foam under the Hastens topper. It is still firm, very supportive and comfortable. I am just finishing up a not so lovely two days of a flu bug and I can say I was quite comfortable in that bed even with all my flu body aches.
We ended up removing the 1/2 wool topper - it just made things too soft and it has compressed over the past year, under the hips. We are now in search of a mattress topper, cotton, that can protect the Hastens topper. Likely we will end up with Hastens mattress pad which has elastic straps and can easily be moved to allow the topper to be fluffed...

Company History
In 1883 in Carthage, Missouri, far removed from any major metropolitan or urban areas, a historical partnership began. J.P. Leggett, an inventor, initiated the partnership because he had developed an innovative bedspring. Mr. Leggett’s bedspring consisted of single cone spring wire coils, formed and interlaced in a unique manner, then mounted on a wood slat base. The bedspring could then be used as a resilient, durable base for the then-popular cotton, feather or horsehair mattresses. Needing expertise in manufacturing and production, he recruited his brother-in-law, C.B. Platt, whose father owned and operated Platt Plow Works, into the partnership. Together, they perfected the equipment necessary to produce the components of their...

That is such good news you were able to put it on your metal frame without any problem. With the 2000t's extra deep pine frame on the box springs, I have been a little concerned about the weight. Thank you for sharing that!
We felt the same way you did when we got onto the 2000t---major WOW factor. It was like being on a cloud. Even the firm felt that way.
I'm concerned I might drown in the medium, but that's what you bought and you are a big guy, so maybe we need to go try the medium 2000t again!
The 25 year spring guarantee sounds great, but I do wonder about the fabric after all that time, and should ask them about that. The top of the mattress, underneath the horsehair topper, is elasticized material, isn't it? I wonder how that is going to hold up over time. I haven't had very good luck...

Hastens 2000T spring question - ecd90651

| We went to try out the Hastens beds again this evening in Newport Beach. We tried three or four, all of them great.
The 2000T firm seemed to be our favorite. We both almost fell asleep on it--we were quite amazed!!! I've read on this forum that pocketed springs aren't supposed to be good for lower back problems, but I don't know the reason. Would somebody in the know please explain this to me? The springs felt very supportive for the time we were on the bed, so I would really appreciate an explanation about objections to them, and what, if anything, is considered better. I have had some lower back problems in the past, and I never want to go down... |
