Need help between Flobeds Deluxe and Sleep ez 10000 and in finding a "Green" adjustable base

[phoenix]

Hi DeputyDawg,

In terms of the mattress, I have a couple of questions. Though I don’t think I can go wrong with either choice, I believe the Flobeds Deluxe to be more expensive, but that it comes with an extra 2" convoluted topper. Specifically, I’m wondering if:

1. The convoluted 2’ topper makes a big difference as a comfort layer for someone that needs pressure relief (as opposed to a 3" soft talahay latex comfort layer on the Sleep ez 10000),

2. If there are enough differentiators between the two suppliers and the two mattresses to justify me paying a higher price to go with the Flobeds Deluxe.

Once you are down to final choices between “good and good” and there are no clear winners then the only way I know to decide would be based on your phone calls with each manufacturer and the criteria of your personal value equation that were most important to you. I think that post #2 here which dealt with similar questions may also be helpful

In terms of the adjustable base, I’m leaning toward the Reverie Deluxe 5D, but am concerned that the advertised lift weight for each half of the split king is only 300 lbs. If I add my weight to the weight of the latex mattress, 300 lbs is not a sufficient lift weight. Does anyone know if there is a big difference in lift weights between the three adjustable bases that I’m considering?

All the documentation for the Reverie 5D (Deluxe) says 300 lbs per side but when I called to ask them two years ago they sent me an “official” email which confirmed that each base will hold 550 lbs (see post #2 and #3 here) and they would honor the warranty for that amount. Since that was sometime ago and Gail no longer works there I would call them and ask them to confirm this for you in writing for your own peace of mind.

The weight limit for the S-Cape adjustables are 450 lbs for the DC motor and 600 lbs for the AC motor per side.

The weight limit for the Ergomotion 400 is 400 lbs per side.

Also, after going to the trouble to purchase an Organic 100% Natural latex mattress, I’m concerned that the pad on the base and the skirting around it might be anything but natural and organic. Does anyone know what the pads and skirting of each adjustable base are made of?

The side pads on my Reverie Deluxe (5D) are polyfoam and this would be the norm for adjustable beds that had side padding. I don’t know the type of fabric in the skirting.
