all metal with plastic covers attached on top part with buttons.
The metal foundation is made up of metal tubes/rods with huge empty gaps where there is no support of any kind whatsoever.
If you attach the legs that come with it it will creak in a short time. That has been reported by people here. |

Yeah, all the tube fit inside and then there are hand screws that don't actually screw into the male tubes - they just push down on them to hold them in place.. and there's like 20 joints on the thing. Plus, the mattress sinks into the unsupported areas.. basically, its a steaming pile.. This message was modified May 4, 2010 by tranceFusion

I suppose you are using the medium side of the mattress. Can you tell me how firm is the medium side? Because I slept on the soft side of this mattress and it was just too soft and I did not like that. I do not like sleeping on the firm surface but I would like a firmer surface than what is on the soft side of this mattress. Thank you

I am sleeping on the soft side. I find it too firm. I weight 250 though, so it may be that I am just pushing through that 1" of softer latex without feeling it. that's really all it is - 1" of soft latex and 3 of medium instead of 4" of medium. I certainly don't feel like I am sinking down into it. The only other thing is that maybe there is a variance quality control and these beds are very different. I put the foundation together myself. I honestly feel like if they had made some tweaks in the design, it would have been fine. The metal bars seem very sturdy, but they oddly placed a ton of them at the edges and none in the center. If they had actual threads to screw the screws into, they probably wouldn't squeak much. |

I wanted to see how the medium side felt. I hope anyone who has used the medium side of this SS latex mattress tell about their experience of it. Is it too firm or what? Honestly I think this foundation should not have so many empty spaces without support. It is a total disaster. Some people here said foundation is fine! Which is factually incorrect.

| I am thinking of just getting a piece of particle board to replace the flimsy sign board they use to distribute the weight.. That should resolve the sinking in issue. |

I have simply said that I have read right here, on this very forum, that others do not seem to be having the same problem you are having with the foundation. This is a forum, where people are free to ask questions, people are free to answers questions and people (you, for instance) are free to ignore those answers that do not agree with your ideas. After reading your posts, I notice that you are not happy about your foundation and you just want to make sure everyone knows that. Got it. |
