I slept for the first time in my sleep science latex mattress with foundation.
I woke up at night to see that the mattress had sagged in the middle!!!!!!!!! more ever the foundation is made up of metal - bars and there is just a thin vinyl? cover that covers the top of foundation. Where the latex mattress has sagged in the middle the vinyl cover of the foundation too has sagged and is bottoming out!!!!. I did not expect this. It has been a shocker. What should I do? I am very worried.

also, if you bought from costco and need to return it, just call customer service, they will pick it up for free and give complete refund...costco is awesome
mine has no sag, so either you got a bad one or something wrong with foundation
sleep science foundations for latex and foam are identical, i have had a few and no issues so something is wrong This message was modified Apr 30, 2010 by randys

This foundation isn't supported as well in the middle. I built two twin longs myself (to go under a king). The delivery men had no idea what it even was, so I just felt better building them myself. The boxes were sealed.. I followed all the directions.. and used all the parts, just in case anyone is questioning :) There are several metal bars running along the edges, but none in the center. On the king, it feels like my wife is on the other side of a hurdle, because the two edges in the middle are higher than the sagging middle areas of the foundation. Additionally, the foundation is put together with hand screws. This made assembly very easy. However, they don't actually screw into the pieces - they just twist in and press on the male metal pieces. So basically, after a couple of nights, all these metal joints were squeaking. Now, if you like the bed, I guess it is worth finding a better foundation.. But the bed is extremely firm and we find it very uncomfortable! We are just waiting for Costco to pick this thing up.. what to get next? |
Also, I tried to contact Sleep Science, but both their info@sbsleepscience.com and info@southbayinternational email addresses were forwarded to patrick-something @ earthlink, which was bouncing! |
Just return the sleep science foundation and get a different foundation. I just received my sleep science king latex. (I will post review after a couple of weeks of use) I bought the Tempurpedic 2 piece twin XL foundation to use with it and seems to be fine and doesn't make any noise. I chose it because it is designed for a very heavy mattress and I liked that it was made nail less for less chance of squeaks. Downside it is expensive compared to other wood foundations http://www.tempurpedic.com/accessories/foundations/sand_microsuede_high_and_low_foundations/ Superior Structural Design

Mc4nam, Looks like you have tried Sleep science costco matress with its foundation and tempur-Pedic foundation. How is it working out for you? Is the mattress firm enough? Does it sink in with its foundation? If yes did the problem go away with tempur-pedic foundation? I am in process of buying a new matress, sleep science from costco is what I am considering. Few comments on you experiance with it will be helpful. Thanks |
This is funny. You ask why? I have been reading this before here too and now I experienced it! I went to visit my friend. He had this Sleep Science latex mattress set one just put in guest room along with the foundation. Funny. I was the first one to sleep on this. Midnight I wake up. I am sinking in the middle of the bed!!!! I was astonished. I wake up switch on the lights and knock at my friends room. he comes and we both look up and down the mattress set. WHAT DO WE FIND. THE FOUNDATION IS ONLY METAL BARS AND THERE IS not 1 bar in the center! I might also add that the hollow metal bars are covered by a junk looking vinyl cover that gives away to slighest pressure! I have never seen anyone sell such JUNK. Now my friend is PISSED OFF AT COSTCO FOR LETTING SLEEP SCIENCE SELL THIS FOUNDATION. HE IS PISSED OFF AT SLEEP SCIENCE FOR DUPING PEOPLE. WHOEVER IS TELLING YOU THAT FOUNDATION FOR THIS LATEX BED IS GOOD IS LYING. Don't buy it.
Also I might add that I slept on the soft side up. And that it is just very very soft and I sank in the mattress. This message was modified Jun 18, 2010 by roy1
