I notice that latex bed sellers here are also selling foundations.

I am not a technical minded person. So I have hard time putting things together.

How hard is it to put together foundation that say flobed sells here. Any one with experience putting together flobeds foundation please tell.

Thank you.

Mine did not look like that one. It came mostly assembled in 3 sections and went together with only 6 wingnuts! I got the one that matched the SleepEZ organic mattress.

Dave at FloBeds here... just wanted to point out our foundation is unique.  The slats are already fastened in place Pine, Fir or Euro). The matching cover is also already applied.  King or Queen is shipped in a split foundation, each half in 3 pieces (total of 6 pieces that go together with 8 wing nuts... period). Here are 3 links that might help:

Our slat foundation page: www.flobeds.com/slats.htm

Our owners instructions:  www.flobeds.com/pdf/LatexOwnersInstructions.pdf

Product detail on Pine Slat:  www.flobeds.com/product_details.htm?id=7040EK

Sorry for the intrusion, just wanted to be clear.

Dave

We (recently) purchased a FloBeds pine foundation.  IMO, the foundation was very well built.  The instructions are very easy to follow.  On each half (3 sections), match the letter indicated pieces together.  Two (2) bolts/wingnuts are used, to join two (2) sections together.  When you hand tighten the wingnuts, you can see the 2 sections joining together.  I built my entire FloBed, by myself.  Very easy.  Just take your time.

I didn't buy the Flobed foundation.  Just had a local mattress store deliver a foundation.
