After setting up the bed frame, we immediately noticed more lumbar support from our mattress.
The frame felt very stable and helped alleviate sagging in an old memory-foam mattress.
Our mattress conformed very easily to each of the different tweaks.
The support bar on the frame also helped keep the mattress in place to prevent any shifting.
The base features a snore response setting that automatically elevates the mattress when it detects snoring.
Despite its sturdiness, the frame is completely silent when adjusting, so it didnt disturb our sleep.
Plus, elevating the mattress also helped immensely with snoring, and we slept better with it elevated.
We loved being able to adjust the mattress to sit up while watching television or reading in bed.

The bed was very sturdy and supported us without any creaking.
We used the frame on its own, and we thought it looked somewhat plain in our bedroom.

The bed arrived in a big, heavy box.
The frame offers adjustable leg and head height, as well as a zero-gravity setting for added relief.

Even better, if you choose massage but your partner doesnt, they wont feel a thing.
