Thanks for all the work you have all put into this site, it has been a tremendous help. 

I have dug around and dug around and  my husband seems to like the idea of a FloBed as much as I do - neither of us 100%, but it's tops on the list at this point. 

Now here we are at the foundation choice and I find it very interesting about the number of choices the FloBed company has to offer.  I've seen foundations for all sorts of companies and they all have a reason to state why pine, or maple or whatever is best.  I fully understand that in parts of the country certain woods are easier to come by.  I'm not stupid about wood, agree certain types of pine perform better than others and fir is a better choice overall as far as lumber goes   (I'm not serving dinner on it - even so had a pine table for many years). Given the choice I would choose the twenty slat fir over the dozen or so slat pine even if it is a bit more money.  So I was not feeling particularly picky on this topic, as various companies seem to have variations and all are limited, but here they go and toss in the choices and I'm tired of choices. 

The Euro Slats are a new idea to me and I am highly curious about them. Beech is a nice wood and this particular system is very interesting, if not appearing as if it has the possibility to be a hassle.  Does anyone have any experience with these?

Does Flobeds sell the slatted Euro adjustable foundation or only with a full mattress set? I am interested in buying a Euro style slatted foundation so if anyone knows where to find one for a good price please let me know.


Drop them an email and ask them. I previously asked them if they sell their wool/cotton encasements seperately, and they sent me a link to them where I could buy them individually. I was considering building my own 100% natural LI Talalay mattress, but after adding up all the components, it was cheaper to order a complete mattress from Flobeds while they were running their sale last month. I went with the 3 core bed, so I'll just be replacing the slats on my existing foundation rather than buying a new foundation.

Yes they do, just go online and pop one into your cart - I consider the price reasonable.
