I've been reading the threads here for a few months, ever since we began considering a new bed. I thought it was about time I registered and posted, as I saw an product at Costco.com that piqued my interest. And, I was wondering what the members here thought of it, based on the following info:
It's a motorized adjustable split King latex bed. http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?prodid=11518816 -Both the motorized base and the mattress appear to be made by Leggett & Platt, http://www.natures-caress.com/ $4500 is definitely a lot of scratch for a bed. OTOH, the one Tempurpedic model that we liked in the store, Rhapsody, is $8200 for the same size with motorized base! (Holy crap!) I know that Costco had the Sleep Science Latex motorized bed last month that cost substantially less. They also have the SS memory foam Emma adjustable bed now for much less. But, the L&P latex mattress definitely seems like a better mat than the Emma . And, the L&P base seems better than either Sleep Science Memory or Latex adjustables (wall-hugger, and US vs China made). So, it seems like a classic case of getting what you pay for. (Although, I could be wrong.) Also, I have a bit of a problem in regards to my wife. She really liked the TP Rhapsody compared to the Latex mats they had at the store, which were Vera Wang by Serta. I was under the impression that the Vera Wangs were pretty good Latex mats. But, quite frankly, they felt a lot like spring mats. Although, I did like the firmest one. Does anybody know of a high quality mainstream Latex mat that is carried by the major retailers that we could try? I'd rather get latex. So, I'd like to find one that would help me convince her that we should try this latex adjustable from Costco. This message was modified Apr 5, 2010 by garypen

| I will also not be getting the costco bed. I am sure it is a fine bed, but not being able to get inside the mattress or doing anything with the latex layers was really a letdown for me. I have since purchased a set of twin xl scape adjustable bases for $1900 shipped and will see if I can get a mattress from flobed or sleepez depending on sales and final price for each. For a similar style flobed we are looking at about 700 less than the costco price including tax. Finding the adjustable bases at a reasonable price has opended up many options. |
| That sounds like a great deal on the s-cape base! If I was gonna go e-tailer, I think I'd choose Sleep-ez. Lower base price and no tax. (Flo-beds is in CA, iirc.) Good luck, whatever you choose! |

I think I will try to get Flobeds to pricematch, but that is a discussion of another topic. This message was modified Apr 25, 2010 by black88mx6
