Adjustable base comes in 2 sections in a large box measuring 41x39x10. This box weighs nearly 150 pounds.
2 small boxes in between the sections came loose from the straps and most of the parts fell out when sections were separated. One UPS driver delivered the box with difficulty with a dolly. All the movement apparently loosens up and breaks the smaller parts boxes. All parts boxes need to be packaged more compactly so as to preclude damage.
Metal frame, and legs seem to be very sturdy. Nice quality padding and material. Called support because 2 twin XL bases would not sync to a single remote. Tech said that included instructions were wrong. After giving me proper instructions, sync was ok. Would buy again.
The bed is great but it was delivered to the wrong address. No phone call, just dropped at someone elses house. Fortunately our village police picked it up and delivered it to me.
Not a fan of massage unit. Too noisy.
Did love their customer serv. when I accidentally washed my remote, with my laundry. It was here with a couple days. The rep. was awesome! Only problem was I had to have somebody go under the bed, to press a button on control unit, to sync to remote.
Worth the money spent we used the setup with the lowest height, which is about 3/4 clearance. I feel that the motors are getting squished with the carpet flooring, so would probably go for higher clearance . But, overall very satisfied with the purchase
It was time for us to purchase 2 or 3 new beds. We wanted to get an adjustable bed for our room (probably a split king). The cost of adjustable beds at the local stores was ridiculous. So we decided to start by buying this bed and mattress thinking that if we didnt like it we could just put it in one of the rarely used guest bedrooms. We have only had the bed for about a week so still waiting to render a final decision but so far so good.
The queen mattress arrived a day or two earlier than the adjustable bed. Do not open the mattress until the bed is set up. The bed required minimal set/up (add legs, remove some packing material, install the mattress bar at the foot of the bed). We didnt need to lay the bed frame flat on the floor to install the 6 legs but we (2 people) were careful when moving the bed from its side to the proper position. The wireless remote connected without any problems. Opened the mattress on the bed frame and let it breathe for a couple of hours. Slept on it that night and we are enjoying this modestly priced adjustable bed and mattress.
My only little negative comment is that the adjustable bed wiggles more than our non/adjustable platform bed did. This is because when the head is raised that part of the frame is is only supported by a single hydraulic cylinder. This should be a non issue when we get our split king / we will each have our own frame with cylinder.
I ordered the Affordamatic in a bundle with the 10.5 cool gel memory foam mattress. I didnt think added features such as a USB port, massage, memory settings, etc of the other Classic Brand adjustable bed model would be important to my expected usage and I had to buy a bed quickly, without any planning/budgeting because I was ready to murder my husband after having months of poor sleep due to his snoringit was a crisis situation, fix the lack of sleep issue now or go to prison tomorrow. So I made the decision to go with what I thought would solve the problem at the most accessible price point, this bed did all that, it was comfortable and just raising the head of the bed a few inches completely stopped my husbands snoring. I slept a solid eight hours for the first time in over a year, I was thrilledit met all my needs and expectations/ but theres more to the story!
When the bed frame arrived I immediately found a problem with the foot motor; there is a plastic sleeve guide that keeps the piston in alignment as the bed changes position and this part wasnt secured properly by its rivets like the head motor was, allowing the piston end to slide out of the motor housing support. I could not push the piston back into the correct position because the rivets that were supposed to be holding it would not allow full insertion, so when the foot was elevated, the piston would get out of alignment, and wobble and I just knew this was going to end badly. I contacted customer service by phone the next day. All I had to do was e/mail a picture of the product tags (for identification) and my invoice. I thought they would order a part, but they sent out a completely new bed base the same day I sent the requested information, it was delivered the next day.but WAIT! Theres more!
You need to know this bed frame is HEAVY do not plan on moving it alone, no matter who you are, and if you are like me, over 40 and not in the gym as often as you should be, get your 20/something kids to move it for you, especially if you have to go up a flight of stairs, like we did. So I knew a new bed was coming and I really DID NOT want to move the original because it is so heavy and awkward. The motors pop in and out easily with cotter pins, and the power/control cables have modular connections. I was planning on just taking the foot motor off the new bed and swapping it with the old one to save my back. HOWEVER, when the new frame was delivered, it wasnt the same economy version, they sent me the fancy upgraded one with the memory remote, USB ports, massage etc The motors were the same but the new frame was.sexy, I couldnt pass it up. It had better aesthetics, the frame upholstery was nicer and a little more built/up. It also had adjustable height legs and I had just downsized from a 16 thick conventional king mattress bed to a 10.5 gel foam queen and was feeling really low to the ground so being able to raise my sleeping surface back up a few more inches was nice. The USB ports I didnt really care about, my husband made the comment that he thought it was odd they were on only one side of the bed and it seemed that would just contribute to marital conflictbut maybe the design is intended to make you snuggle up close to share power ports? I guess its all up to your point of view and you really shouldnt be using your devices in bed anyway, poor sleep hygiene Anyway, the memory remote features are TOTALLY worth the upgrade. It has a preset button for TV viewing, zero gravity and the most important Anti/snore positions, and they are literally perfect as programmed. The massage feature/ these are basically rumble packs with different patterns of vibration and a timer. One pack at the foot and one at the head. I dont know, its ok I guess, but not a dealbreaker for me. One setting I find very similar to sitting on an idling Ford 8N tractor, and another like sleeping with a very large purring catI like them both of those settings because I like my cat and tractorsbut others might not find the experience as special. Two other things that made me think the upgrade would be worthwhile for people debating between the Affordamatic and the upgrade are that the upgraded one has a 9/volt battery back/up so if you are without power you can still move the bed components, which may be important if you are a little less nimble. The upgraded bed remote also has a built/in flashlight, another handy feature in a power/outage situation or in general. I also found the upgraded remote control pictograms to be clearer/better which might be a consideration if you planned to have this in a guest room.
So what am I recommending here? If you really only need the most basic function of adjustable head and foot you will be pleased with this bed, I wasbut if you are riding the fence between the extra cost of the comfort upholstered model, I would encourage you to go with the extras. Either way, the customer support from was outstanding, no/hassle what/so/ever and I thought being upgraded to the better base was a very nice surprise compensation for having to deal with repacking the old, defective bed. I would definitely buy a set again.
We have a king size sleep number mattress that we love, my husband has back problems and the sleep number mattress really helps. We ordered the new base at 1/4 the cost of the sleep number base. WE ARE IN BED HEAVEN my husband was able to spend the entire night in bed with no pain, first in 8 years. Delivery on time, we hired a company to install, not difficult assembly, but moving and turning it over was beyond our ability. The weight is the reason we hired the contractor. We are in our early seventies and know our limits. Back to the bed/yeahhhhh
