Hello Pete,
I want to buy a Leggett Platt adjustable bed and for a mattress I like.
The mattress is a Stearns and Foster Ultra Firm.
It is wrapped coils with a foam edge. I don't know about wire around the coils. Will this mattress work with the adjustable bed?
Thanks, Lou
Hi Lou,
That’s an older, extremely well made mattress.
The foam edge support is very strong.
Due to that, and that the mattress is an ultra firm, I doubt that it will work easily on an adjustable bed base for anything more than slight elevation of the head and foot.
If you stand at the foot end of the mattress and lift, I think you’ll find that the mattress will remain somewhat stiff.
Getting it to bend will require your body weight…and again, you’re not likely to get more than a slight bend.
There is no border wire in that mattress, so you don’t have to worry about damaging it, should you decide to buy that base.
