There shouldnāt be an issue of the bed being too firm in the center; however, this would be a good question for @CBH Wood Furniture to comment on, know they would want to offer answers to your question. BTW, what size mattress are you looking at?
Hi Swilkes,
sorry for the late reply but I had some problems logging in to this site earlier this week.
Your questions is valid. We offer beds with 1 or 2 slat systems and advise that if the bed is used by 1 person the majority of the time then it should have 1 slat system. If mostly used by 2 people then 2 slat systems are better. Letās say you have a queen bed (which normally comes with 2 slat systems although he have also, on request, sent out a queen with only 1 slat system before for an older lady who lives alone) and if you lay down in the middle of the bed, then your body will be utilizing both slat systems which means there is more resistance and therefore it will feel firmer. Some people are sensitive to that, otherās are not. Generally this is not a problem since people gravitate to the outside of the bed.
How much does the 4" mattress part weigh on the queen versus the twin xl? I ask because I think the the 4" mattress part would be the hardest to move up the stairs in to my apartment. And the hardest to move into proper position on the bed since Iām single and donāt really have any family or friends close by that could help.
Thanks for your question earlier and for keeping us updated on your search :). Thanks also to trusted member CBH Wood Furniture for the information they gave on their slat systems, hope you found their answer helpful in your research.
CBH Wood Furniture lists system specs on their 8" Balancer ~ Das Original bed for the home/Specifications & Designshere on the TMU site, but weigh isnāt specifically mentioned so Iāll let @CBHWoodFurniture answer on that. However, there are some dimensions listed that may help if you need that info too, thought you may find those useful.
Hi Swilkes
The twin mattress pad weighs just under 20kg (44lbs) . And the Queen is around 30kg (66lbs).
Out of all the pieces that we would send, the queen mattress is the heaviest at 30kg. The frame comes in pieces, each light enough to carry by oneself for most people.
Hi swilkes
We have considered that but it is not a good option. The reason being that the mattress pad will be too light and will start moving around. The reason we split the mattress for king is merely that a full king would be too heavy and difficult to handle, especially when somebody takes off the cotton cover for washing. It is very difficult to put a full king mattress back into the cover after. I would assume your motivation behind your question is that the mattress can be flipped opposite sides so that one side will be firm and the other medium-firm. Honestly speaking I find very very few people will sleep on the firm side. The slat system in itself makes the bed feel firm (a comfortable firm not a stiff firm) and the mattress top is then only for comfort and in almost all cases the softer side is preferred.
I wasnāt thinking of flipping one up and one down. No, I live alone, Iām a small person, and I have no family or friends in the area. I simply wanted two pieces to make it easier for me to set up or move the bed. I also wanted to be able to occasionally move the half on the right over to the left and vice versa so the two sides would wear evenly since Iām the only one sleeping on it. I hope to start dating again in a few years, thus Iām considering a bed for two people. But thereās no guarantee there will ever be two people sleeping on it long-term.
What I hear you saying is that you donāt split queens because if split then the two pieces would shift inside the cover and either bunch up in the middle or gap a little in the middle. Iām not too concerned about that when itās just me, but I could see that being a problem if there were ever two of us in the bed. Thanks!
Hi swilkes,
we can certainly split them in the middle and it will probably work fine but the only thing that I cannot confirm for certain is that the mattresses wonāt damage each other a little bit over time. I have only tested this for about a month and the mattresses looked fine but I donāt know for sure what it would be like over years).
Just to give you an idea of what this mattress looks like when you get it: We package it in a burlap bag (if you look us up on Instagram or Facebook we post pictures from time to time what a full bed package up looks like). That means that you don;t actually need to carry that bag, you can also drag it. Also when they deliver the bed, you normally have 30min unloading time, and it only take the driver 1 minute or two to do that, so he is not in a rush. You can always offer the driver a few dollars to help you carry the mattress. Most will probably do that.
I was just reading about your bed system online and was pleasantly suprised to find you on the mattress underground where i found my current mattress. I have a question foryou, which is the reason Iām posting today.
I see that your mattress is using sheeps wool. Have you ever considered another fill like hemp batting, or possibly cotton batting? This type of mattress would suit the growing population of vegans who do not wear, or use sheeps wool. If not, maybe you will consider this option in the future. Iām not in need of a new mattress right now, but will be purchasing mattresses for my children in the near future.
Hi mdgail1,
thanks for your question. We do have a limited supply of a corn fibre toppers if you really would not want wool.
But then I wonder whether why somebody would not want to use wool if the animal has been treated properly. After all when it is done properly (the difference with a Swiss farmer may be that for them the animals are not their business but rather their life) then it isnāt much more than a hair cut. I would encourage you to look into how these things are done in Switzerland.
Itās an ethical position that is part of who I am. Iām not criticizing your company. But itās part of my core that focuses on doing the least amount of harm and exploitation to the animals we occupy this blue planet with. Thanks.
Hi, Iām looking to replace my current mattress and was recommended to look into your products.
My details:
5ā2
BMI 21.9
female
30s with corrective surgery for scoliosis in teens, has c curve with Harrington rods so need alot of support for back
side sleeper
twin bed (fits my size best)
living in Vancouver, Canada
Which product would work best for me? And is there somewhere locally in Vancouver that I can go to try?
HI lingling008.
In terms of product, we only offer one kind of mattress system which has shown itself to be effective for around 95% of our customers. You can find more details on our website www.swissdreambeds.com
In the Vancouver area we have a partner called āThe Green Bed Storeā who display our mattress system.
Please let me know if you need any further details.
Iām starting to get aches and pains from working on a tiny desk in the corner of our spare room. Some re-organizing is needed, and to make space, swapping the spare bed for a sofa bed seems most sensible. But, I donāt think some shonky, uncomfortable sofa bed needs to be worthy of sleeping in for visiting guests. I bought these recliners, which are really great, but Iām also looking for a sofa bed. Any recommendations?
Hi @CBHWoodFurniture swiss dream. Iām wondering how your system works with a fitted top sheet? Your pictures have a strategically placed duvet when the bed is made. But showing the mattress it looks like the latex rails overhang the frame. Does a sheet go around both the mattress and the lower rails somehow?
! Good to have you here and thanks for your question. I couldnāt quite follow your post as it appears your initial question got lost in an earlier thread, Factory Direct Mattresses in the Toronto, ON and GTA area, post #108:
