I think we are finally able to order a new latex mattress from Flobeds! We've been wanting one for a couple of years now. We are looking at a Cal King Posture Deluxe Talalay mattress. Hubby is a stomach sleeper and I am a side sleeper. Do you have any advice for us? Is it worth it to get the Euroslat foundation, as opposed to the non-adjustable slat foundation? Are their firmness recommendations pretty accurate? (I think I remember reading here that the latex cores run on the soft side.) Anything else we should know before we place an order? Thanks! |

Lynn, thank you so much -- this is super helpful. Just to be clear, I have a few follow up questions. -- Did your headboard have its own brackets with slots to attach to the bracket Flobed sent you? If so, could you have just moved the headboard bracket higher to fit the 10" legs/Flobed bracket, rather than attach something to the bottom of the headboard to make it higher? I have brackets on my headboard that are too low for Flobed's 10" legs/bracket set, but can't figure out if my headboard bracket can be easily moved (would have to call in a handyman). -- How exactly did you raise your headboard -- what did you attach the legs to in order to raise it by 1"? And do you know if it was exactly 1"? -- How many screws do you have to attach to each bracket -- is it one or two? (this will help me figure out if my headboard will work). Many many thanks!! |

GreenTeam, sorry I hijacked your thread -- didn't mean to! I just ordered a Flobeds and suggest you speak with Dewey or Dave re: your questions, if you haven't already. They provide excellent guidance and don't seem to be about upselling, but rather finding the best fit for the customer. It's in their best interest to do so, since they have a generous exchange policy and seem to rely on word of mouth to bring new customers. They also just seem like decent people who take pride in their work and customer service. After lots of research, I went with the euroslats. They don't cost much more when purchased with the mattress, and seem to be worth the investment. I also got the wooden legs -- they seem to have engineered the design carefully to ensure stability, etc. and many folks think the wooden legs are a step forward from the traditional metal frames (even though wood beds existed long before metal ones, I think !). Re the mattress, I erred on the firmer side based again on what others have consistently said (XF + F on one side, F + Med on the other side, with 7-zone on top). I usually read that a talatay/Flobed mattress configuration is softer than expecfted, not firmer. If you can wait another few wks, I can report back re: any friction issues and the mattress firmness once I've gotten the bed. |
