Wow, first adjustable base. Where have you been all my life? I purchased this as consumer report's top new mattress was a fraction of the price of my 11 year old tempur-pedic grand. As the fabulous new Sleep on Latex, was $5 grand less, I began researching adjustable beds. I learned that Legget and Platt, was the "Cadillac" of adjustable beds. As I have a terrible back, and a sizable savings on a mattress that out ranks Tempur (per Consumers), I jumped on the iDealBed.
All the setup guide, owners manual, and warrantee are Leggett and Platt.
This is a L&P bed, at huge discount. The setup booklet is the same as, with pictures of, the $grand more expensive bed. The help telephone line is to L&P.
Now, what is different.
1) iDealBed, is not printed on the remote. Wireless, of course
That's it!
The bed is soo sturdy. The massaging choices work like a dream. Massage works up to 30 minutes. The "lay flat" button works with one touch-no hold needed. Flash light nice, as is back lighting of all buttons. Under bed lighting illuminates all around bed for animal safety, and finding slippers.
Several position choices preset, and a couple of memory choices you make.
Nice button to lock bed, so children can not endanger themselves and pets.
Super easy setup. Screw on legs, and 2 minutes unpacking and pressing cotton pins back on. Flip bed over (2 people), and plug into surge protector.
Surge protection NOT INCLUDED!
Purchase Velcro to always know where your remote is.
Place mattress on bed. Relax, and know that you have a 10 year motorized warranty!
PS Update: IDealBed increased price $15, the night I slept on decision to buy. Today, when I wrote review, price increased almost $100 +tax. Yes, tax on possible medical device. Will call about doctor script for tax return.
Is bed price increasing for holiday reduction? I hope not. Love this bed base. Perfect in my Tommy Bahama poster bed. Just Heaven!
January, 2018 update;
At 6'4", the 9" Sleep On Latex, left me feeling as though I dropped half way to the floor getting into bed. The wonderful people at Sleep On Latex, sold me a 3", $300 topper, for 149.50. It made all the difference. The pressure point on my hip was gone, and elastic sheet grippers (under$10) left me secure that upon waking all bedding would remain intact.
BTW, my massage unit operates in 3 distinct areas, although the rolling massage flows up and down the whole body. I only use the 2 lower power setting, lest I want a shiatsu experience. Perhaps, the perfect mattress for a motorized bed is latex?
Many months, fantastic find!
UPDATE, August 1, 2020
Unfortunately, I have a worsening spine, and so much of my day revolves around activities that involve being on my bed. I am so happy with my latex bed. I spent so much time investigating beds, that I was thrilled when Consumer Reports ranked my mattress, in a 3 way tie for first place of all mattresses. The other 2, where also latex. Consumers concluded that latex products should exceed the 10 year period of superior bedding. I am truly testing the limits. And continue to be pleasantly optimistic. I would also be remiss if I didn't give an update to my Ideal 4, mechanical bed. As my original purchase was 1 month after the I deal 4 launch. As I am spending twice the time the average person uses the frame,I am really qualified to give an opinion. Just as someone who's job required crisscrossing the nation, weekly. My physique amounts to 6' 4, or 3&3/4", I weigh approximately 190lbs. , and my bed mates are two felines, as I had to put down one, at the age of 22. With a latex mattress, I am unable to awaken unless they stand on me, because there is very very little motion transfer. Which is outstanding, as nocturnal animals, like felines, are up to all sorts of mischievous behavior in the dark of night. I use the motorized features frequently, and the massage unit is used always when returning home from a doctor's appointment, or lengthy shopping excursion. It has been years now, and a considerable over time in the use of the iDeal4, mechanical power bed frame. I am so pleased to say that this product purchase has been a blissful experience! I could not have wished for better, and I am truly thrilled with my purchase. Especially, as there were no comments to read, and research was nil. I have lived long enough, and made enough mistakes, to dive deep into credible sources before I spend a great deal on a product I know little to nothing about. I have never considered a bed, and frame like these. When I purchased my Tempur-pedic grand bed, I was without information, and I was shelling out $6 grand. I was amazed to find that my mother's widowed friend was married to the gentleman at NASA, who was a principal inventor of the material that became Tempur-pedic. And by her say so, I purchased my bed that served me well, for 11+ years. In its first year, Consumers did not have enough to fully evaluate the bed. When I purchased my latex mattress, Tempur was no longer a great investment. I do not know why, and have no idea if the company had changed hands. All Consumers concluded, was that the beds were not the greatest, nor even great deals they were, in the day.
My iDeal 4, however, was a great deal, and my geastimation that iDeal was L&P, was correct! My iDeal4, is truly fantastic! It has never let me down, nor disappoint me in any way. I can see that improvements have been made. Ideas that I conceived, had been put into place, and the prices have not been inflated. I am so happy that I took a chance on an unknown product, and with my endless usage, I am as happy as the day it first entered my life. How many great creations can you say the same? I love the addition of the battery backup. As with a power surge , my bed immediately reverts to a flat surface, which could be perilous for an animal. The remote is no longer white, which is valuable to those of us who's eyes, are off enjoying "those golden years ". Aaa, right! The snore button is new. And options in elevation are a very nice touch. It has been many years now, and I am surprised at the various options available with L&G's trial balloon. Having been the "Cadillac of motorized beds", the company realized that a less expensive value version, was more than just a niche trial balloon. But an offering of luxury, at just the right time, and place, brought a whole new luxury item to the masses, that they now could not conceive of living without. Many will graduate up to the top tier, and more will test and purchase a new necessity! I love the iDeal4 bed. I can no longer imagine resting without one. I have lived many years with my bedroom sanctuary. I love this, and cannot imagine life without it. Many complements, and happy dreams. My bed has been faultless, and I am a very very happy customer. I am delighted to return and keep you abreast of my iDeal journey. I shall be here to read, and help anyone with questions. And sadly, without compensation, I will answer questions, and give unvarnished advice to anyone. Being disabled, I have the time to help. If you are here reading my thoughts, you are on your way to a better nights sleep, or afternoon snooze. One of the very best decisions of my decades. I wish you the very best.
