Review on Revolutionize Your Sleep With The IDealBed 3I Custom Adjustable Bed Base - Queen Size by Eric Trask

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice adjustable bed frame, but be aware of these things.

We purchased the king size adjustable model of this bed frame. It was delivered promptly, and brought just inside our front door as expected. The assembly is easy, in that you only have to cut a couple of shipping tie-downs, unfold the frame at the center hinge point, and screw in 7 legs, but here's where it gets difficult:Issue 1 - This bed is VERY heavy, so getting the legs attached and then "flipping" the bed over is a very difficult task unless you have at least two very strong helpers.Issue 2 - The hinges on the 3 pivot points on this bed are made up of a steel hinge in the center, and a heavy plastic hinge on each outer edge. While trying to move, turn-over the bed, it is very easy to lift the outer frame from a point that causes one or more of these pivot points to move, thus putting strain on the outer hinges. This resulting in 3 of the plastic hinges breaking on our bed. I think the way to avoid this, is to ONLY lift the bed with one person on each side, lifting from the fixed flat portion of the base (approx 4" behind and 10" in front of the center hinge line).Customer service was very responsive when I called, and they immediately Fed-Ex'd out 4 hinges to me (thought I might want an extra, just in case). It turns out that what they shipped was 4 half-hinges (each hinge is made of two identical plastic halves), and while taking the bed frame apart to replace the hinges, one of the 3 broken hinge points had a failure in both half-hinges, so I needed all 4 parts that I received. The process of replacing the hinges was straight forward, but time consuming. I found the best/safest way to remove the broken parts and replace with the new ones required removing the cloth skirt all the way around the bed frame so that the hinged sections could be carefully moved and flexed to insert the new parts without any stain on other hinges.If you are not feeling very handy, or not feeling quite strong, please think about paying the extra for "white glove" delivery to have someone else do the assembly.We are happy with the frame. It appears to be well made, operates quietly and smoothly, and meets all of our expectations.
