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.

 

Thank you for your help.

You may want to call Sleep Science and see what they say (google them).  As a temporary basis, you may want to put the mattress directly on the floor and see how you like it with a solid surface underneath.   If you like it that way, then you may want to keep and have them replace/fix the foundation.  I can't believe it is working properly if it is sagging.

The foundation has no central support bar where the mattress has sagged in the middle.

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?

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.

I looked under neath the bed and saw that the vinyl cover of the foundation has also sagged in the middle and

THAT WHERE THE SAGGING HAS OCCURED THAT PART OF THE foundation has no SUPPORTING metal bar/s!!!!!!!

I was told by delivery guys that that is how the foundation is made!!

what should I do?


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.

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 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?

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

Superior Structural Design

  • Constructed with premium, 5/8" medium density fiberboards (MDF) for increased strength and durability
  • Nail-free assembly eliminates squeak points
  • Injection molded corner braces, made of polypropylene resin, support greater lateral loads
  • Solid 1/4" MDF top is reinforced with interlocking cross braces for stability
  • Guaranteed trouble-free performance

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
