Can you help me 'put together' my new bed?
Comments (4)We have a memoryfoam mattress on platform bed, for over a year now. You can basically do whatever you want, according to budget and taste. Your foam mattress can rest on a solid plywood sheet, or slats. As far as I know (from reading a lot in a mattress forum), there's not need to put it on a box spring or foundation. Supposedly, slats vs. plywood vs. the floor will change the feel slightly. We have modern platform with slats and a wood frame around the bed (with headboard), no footboard. The least expensive setup would be a standard metal frame, slats or plywood on that, and headboard of your making. I would attach the headboard if it were me. With a metal frame, you'll need a bedspread to cover it, and you may hit your shins as you walk around the bed....See MoreThinking of buying bigger mattress- King or Cal. King?
Comments (20)Mattress peaks and valleys are natural, due to compression of the mattress materials over time where people sleep (and where they don't). The quality of mattress affects the rate of compression, but all mattresses ultimately succumb. It happens quicker for king size mattresses with couples because there tends to be more space between them that never gets slept on. Rotating and flipping the mattress can help even out the compression valleys, but many mattresses are one-sided (pillowtop, etc) and that limits the variations. A regular king size mattress is only 4" wider than it is long. We bought a non-pillowtop mattress so it can be flipped. We also rotate it 90 degrees every month, giving us eight mattress orientations to help even out or avoid compression valleys. We don't rotate the box springs. When the mattress is "sideways," only 2" overhangs the box springs on each side. It's actually not noticeable unless you look carefully. Neither of us is so tall to miss the 4" of length when the mattress is "sideways" either. A California king is 12" longer than it is wide, making a 90 degree rotation pattern impossible. Just another consideration....See Morewhat size king bed do I buy
Comments (8)I think part of it depends on where you live too. If you live in California - it will be easier to purchase sheets etc. without having to shop around more for a California King. If you live elsewhere then a King will be much easier. We have a California King and I like it, but would go for the extra width if you could. We got the California King because I hate having my head right up against the headboard and if I don't do that on a Regular King then my feet will hang over the end when stretched out....See MoreTwin or Full size beds for kids sharing room
Comments (17)sonni1 I'm worried about that as well. The bed being too small in a short period of time so I'm looking for beds that are fairly sturdy but reasonably priced as well I've been seeing beds bu this company South Shore and they have all the features I am looking for but I'm not so sure of how sturdy their products are. I don't expect them to be solid wood type quality but does anyone have experience with this company's beds and can speak to their quality? Thank you...See Moreana_46
