I can pick up this foundation at a reasonable price - http://www.tempurpedic.com/accessories/foundations/ecru_high_and_low_foundations/ It is the split king regular profile. The foundation will actually sit on the floor and I plan on putting the Costco Latex on it. It seems interesting because it says it doesn't make much noise? I am open to suggestions for something that doesn't creek and make noise. I do not have the tools needed to make my own. 1. Is this a better choice than an "S" company box spring or an all wood one with slats that are 12" apart for the Costco Latex? 2. Any other foundations you guys would suggest for this mattress that I can just pick up locally in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth area in the $200 or so price range? Thanks MC

I think you need a foundation with slats much closer together than the Tempurpedic shows on that page. I think what you really want is slats just a few inches apart, and very strong solid wood. Someone posted a DIY post from a while back here recently, look for that info here. "Do It Yourself foundation" or something. If you are handy I would think you could make a better foundation than you can buy. Though I'm not sure since I don't know the price of wood these days, and you'll want to buy wood that is not treated with chemicals. A good strong wood-slat foundation with extra reinforcement in the middle is what I would build. One thing I would do if I were making a foundation is make it so that one can vacuum underneath it. Especially if the person(s) using it may have allergy or asthma issues. I don't like the S Co. foundations because they become homes for millions of dust mites unless you cover the foundation with an anti-dust mite zipped cover. But I would not use that space for storage, for the same reason : it will attract dust mites. I'd put nothing more than maybe a few pair of shoes under there and then vacuum it regularly. |
