bed-fi

I have had motors go out in an old model after maybe ten years which means it probably had better motors than today's stuff.  Best thing is to sit up and remove any load during actuation.  I noticed IKEA is carrying a semi modular setup now.  I think for price, support and availability I would go that route as long as those motors aren't poorly rated.  Haven't researched them myself.

 

I'm really not into the motorized bed thing anymore and I think a more ideal situation is to have the screen come to you via drop down and such.   I prefer to set the sleep timer and doze off on a flat bed.  I couldn't do that on an adjustable bed as a side sleeper.

 

Currently I'm more interested in thermal management of bedding materials.  Also removing as much synthetic material from my sleep area as possible that can potentially degrade and become airborne or inhaled.

 

Ergonomically I think people are biased to side or back sleeping so I would move from that point forward in your research.

I don't know. The bed - technically and legally - belongs to my cat. She prefers flat surfaces.

Though I'm thinking about picking up a chaise lounge or a Eames chair for lounging with music and movies.

Sorry about the kitties.

There's nothing better than going to sleep and waking up with some cuddles and purrs.

Wife and I have finally agreed on a bed. It is a Simons  Beautyrest Black Natasha.

i'm replacing my old crappy bed with a new one, is tempurpedic overpriced?

Nice wife you have to let you sleep w/ a Black Natasha.    Or is that a cat?  

Would also like to know. I've thought about beds a lot but the money just isn't there and my bed is fine as is. It is only a twin(high schooler=bed all to my self) i'm large but i get a nice cozy fit.
What about pillow-fi? My mom used to just buy the cheapest pillows for me but after looking into it, better pillows are only a few bucks more and for something you spend 1/3 of your day on it really is a smart investment.

King Koil ftw! I don't really know much about beds but my current bed is very (make that super) comfy.

Aerobed.  You can take it with you and it offers near infinite adjustability.  Concrete is surprisingly nice as well, especially in the summer.

Something i noticed that was pretty funny, we buy new cars and all kinds of gizmos but don't really consider a new bed. Most of my family still uses some old relic, when you will spend 1/3 of your life on the thing and they say good health is the foundation for good health. How many of us run benchmarks and test for "synergy" on these things? I wonder if a bedding forum exists somewhere where people post impressions n stuff..............trading one for another like they do with headphones. "Oh this week i tested a new number on my sleep number"

This is it.  Welcome!  Sorry about your wallet.  

 

And, uh, you don't want to trade bedding materials.  

 

 

Delivery would be expensive and will take a long time. Trading internationally would be interesting.
 

 

So would the communicable diseases.
