Mattress Forum

The foundation is poorly made. It is all metal and there is just a thin vinyl cover over it. It came with 4 legs.

I asked sleep science if I could just put the mattress foundation without legs on my iron rails that are connected to my head board and foot board.

They said that is okay.

So that is what I did.

I had the delivery guys put the foundation on my iron rails and then they put the letex mattress on top of the foundation.

Why are they selling this latex mattress with a faulty foundation?

Should I get a complete new replacement and give this one more try?

This time just putting the foundation NOT on my iron rails but just the 4 legs that it comes with?

But then some people said the foundation starts to make a creeking noise.

Or should I go with sams club latex mattress?

Is that latex mattress has dunlop or talalay latex?

how is their foundation? Thanks

Firstposter: Hopefully you will not think me rude because of this response.

But you have asked a lot of questions and you have received a lot of answers. It would seem to me that it is time for you to do some research on your own. A lot of the research can be done right on this website where a lot of questions have been posted and a lot of responders have answered,....to all kinds of questions. But when you keep asking simplistic questions like, "please give me link to Sam's Club latex mattresses" it is hard to take you seriously. If you do not know how to Google Sam's Club, then I don't think the people here can be of much assistance to you.

This thread, starting at post #67 is where someone else had something missing from their foundation. It doesn't sound like exactly the same issue you're having, but it is possible something is missing, despite what the delivery people say. Obviously, something is very wrong.

Personally, I would call Costco and ask them about it. They will take it back. In the meantime, do as someone else has suggested, while you have the opportunity: Put it on the floor and see if you like it before returning the whole bed.

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 

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?

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

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

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.
