Hi TangledupnBigBlue,
It seems that you have decided on a mattress but just in case you also wish to consider any of your local choices then the better options or possibilities I’m aware of in the Lexington, KY area (subject to the guidelines here) are listed at the end of post #3 here.
[quote]need advice on which brand of adjustable base to buy: feature-wise we really only want: 1. Wall hugger 2. to raise the head & foot of the bed; we are fine w/ a wired remote and don’t care about massage. Due to local bias I have researched L&P pretty extensively but find their line doesn’t include a wall hugger feature until the S Cape model which includes massage, wireless remote @ a substantial price - am I correct in this or did I miss something?
I recently learned of the Ergo Motion brand which offers a wall hugger model w/ wired remote & head /foot adjustments for roughly half the price of the L&P S Cape. However, I can find relatively little info about Ergo quality & longevity. Also I’m unsure where to buy Ergo products either locally or online. Our preference is an Eastern Split King but can do a Split Cal King if necessary.
Any thoughts or input on the best bang for the buck basic adjustable base? I’m open to other brands & buying locally or online. Simultaneously we are remodeling a house so price is a significant factor.[/quote]
I would consider all the main manufacturers of adjustable beds (including Leggett & Platt and Ergomotion) to be closely comparable in terms of their quality/durability and I would treat an adjustable bed purchase as more of a “commodity” purchase based on “features vs price” comparisons since they all perform the same basic functions with different “bells and whistles” added. There is more about choosing an adjustable bed in post #3 here and the adjustable bed topic that it links to that also includes some retailers that you can use as good sources of information about the features of the adjustable beds they carry and as pricing references that can help you make the most suitable choice.
