Whew!  The Flobed arrived this afternoon in 3 boxes!  I got all the pieces out and checked them to be sure I got everything ordered.  I couldn't put it together right away because I was waiting on a foundation to be delivered.  They finally brought the foundation around 6:30, so I got to work!

Originally I intended to take pictures of the process, but then my DH came home and announced he wasn't helping, so I huffed all the pieces upstairs, laid out the cover as instructed, and began taking out the individual layers.

Aside from each piece being heavy and unwieldly, it really wasn't too difficult to get the layers on the mattress cover. and adjust them.  I did have to stop and take a 10 minute break after getting the first 2 layers on the bed (4 pieces).  Layer 3 went on . . .and then the topper!  That's where I ran into a little snag.

I put the soft covoluted top layer on, and it's waaaay too big!  It's marked a queen, but I'm pretty sure it's a king, lol.  I get it lined up top to bottom and along one edge, and it overhangs the other side by about a foot!

So . .  .temporarily, I folded that piece up and set it aside and zipped up the other 3 layers into the cover.

First impressions are, this bed is amazingly comfortable!  I was worried about getting a firm/xfirm/xfirm, and I'll have to sleep on it a few nights, but oh la la!  It's comfortable just to lie on.  Very supportive, springy and bouncy, but not hard.

Tomorrow I'll have to call Dewey and have a chat about the top layer.  What I'd like is permission to just cut that piece to size without losing my 90 money back guarantee.  I've been waiting so long for a comfortable mattress, I don't want to mail this one back and wait for another convoluted piece.  If he says ok, I'll trim it down, unzip the cover, put the convoluted layer on . . . and ahhhhhh.

I'll do as Eagle and report back on my experiences with my Flobed, though maybe not in the same precise detail.  I can't wait to go to bed!
