We were very close to getting an adjustable frame locally. We saved several hundred dollars buying this unit. Local unit would have had fewer features.
We placed a new independently wrapped coil inner spring mattress on top. (plush, 12 tall).
Mom is very petite (110). With her on the mattress, elevating the bed head and foot, the mattress is off of the frame about 3 in the middle. It causes no problems. Just saying a foam mattress would probably contour more precisely, and expressing that an independently wrapped coil inner spring mattress works just fine. Absolutely verify with your mattress manufacturer that its OK for use on an adjustable bed.
The manufacturer should insulate the outside perimeter of their delivery box with 1 styrofoam. Our heavy duty box was ripped through in several places, but we lucked out and their was no damage.
P.S. Mom never thought she would like an adjustable bed as much as she loves this thing. Very good value.
Moms pleased as peaches.
