So life sucks and my elderly father (who is 88) recently had a mini stroke.
When we visited him in the hospital post event - I noted he was uncomfortable lying on his back straight and almost all the time had the bed adjusted in a upward reclined position.
So my concern when he was discharged was he would not be comfortable on his bed at home (which is a expensive sleep number bed btw).
So I made the rapid decision as we were being discharged to pick up this adjustable bed.
It comes in two peices (the memory foam mattress + Assembly required base)
The base is HEAVY - but not impossible for a single person to put together. I do suggest a two person lift though (but alas .. I was solo for this assemble!).
Its super easy to put together.. Open the base box.. extract the two accessory boxes from inside the base ( they are zip tied to the frame.
Assembly was really just 6 steps.
- Put on the legs
- Flip the bed rightside up
- Insert wire thing that holds the foot of the mattress
- Attach power connector
- Put the mattress on
- Turn it on and adjust away
I was up and running solo in about 30 minutes tops..
Delivery did take about a week - and the guys who did deliver was nice enough to bring it into the apartment where my dad lives. But your mileage may vary local delivery to local delivery.
All in all - VERY nice buying experience for me.. the bed + service was top notch - Thanks much!
