First Night Completed - FloBed
|
Thanks to all, for all the useful information found on this forum. A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I, received our FloBed material. We purchased, with the Memorial Day pricing. We went with the pine foundation and the Posture Deluxe mattress. Best guessing the firmness, we went with a F/F/XF combination, on both sides. We placed the pine foundation, right on top of our existing metal frame. This way, we didn't have to hassle with refitting our existing headboard. Obviously. only legs fitted to the inside part of the foundation were needed. Luckily, the supporting struts on the metal frame, didn't interfere with the newly installed foundation legs. I put the entire bed together, by myself. I found no issues, with the building of the pine foundation. The pine foundation was very well built. I followed the instructions and completed the assembly, with no issues. All the latex layers lined up perfectly. The topper was installed, with the "bumps" up. The wool topper zippered perfectly, onto the "bottom" half. We treated ourselves, to a new set of Comphy sheets. Extremely nice sheets (soft and real deep pockets). We used a bed skirt, so we had to have our local cleaner "hem" the bottom. The FloBed pine foundation/metal frame was only 12.5" high. So far, so good. Initial impressions ... Maybe, a little too soft. Well give it some time. Oh, another thing .. When we received all the material, we opened the tops of the plastic bags, holding the latex layers and let them "gas out", for a couple of days. There was only a mild smell, at first. We were in no rush. That's our experience, so far. Al .. |

| Congrats! I knew you would like that wool mattress pad. The wool pad seems to even out the feel and temperature of the latex mattress. I'm still enjoying my Natura wool and cotton pad but am jealous of all who got the Dormeir....haha! Live and learn. |
