Ok, it does what it says. It moves in all the stated positions. Ive seen other reviews saying they can barely feel the massage, but our vibration is very strong. We have to keep it on the lowest setting. Therefore, massage works great on a 12 inch split king Saatva bed.
So why a 3 star review? There are few reasons. First, the welds where you attach the legs must be made of tinfoil. Just the slightest movement of the bed and legs bend out. The under bed light is ok but its a small strip of leds that goes out after 5 mins, and it takes longer than that to readjust the 12 legs to all be straight. The under bed light can only be activated through the remote so if its already dark in your room, you have to find the remote in order to turn on the light. Sigh.
Next, make sure the collar is all the way down on every single leg attached to the bed and all legs are the exact same height. If even one collar is slightly off, the whole bed moves a LOT when any one moves.
Finally, theres the psychological flaw I never thought about. I bought the split bed because the wife wanted a soft mattress and I wanted medium. The gap between beds makes it feel like we are no longer sleeping in the same bed, even when pressing them together as close as possible. (And then going back under the bed to readjust all the legs AGAIN)
We have since used the sync cable and like that either remote works in this mode. We also used a regular king mattress pad and bedsheets and the gap is now less noticeable. So we essentially did everything to turn the split king back into a regular king.
Oh yeah, and do NOT lose a remote as there is no other way to move the bed. Nope, no phone app either.
So bottom line, we are keeping the bed frame as its ok and for the price, which was half what some companies charge for an adjustable bed. Its just not the aming life changing apparatus we thought it was going to be. Maybe I over shot my expectations, but this was essentially a $1250 bed frame so, shouldnt my expectation be a little high?
Ok, but not life changing
