ShifmanMetropolitan Collection Vanderbilt Full Mattress

Not for a Flexible Frame

I was looking for a mattress to be used on a flexible frame or base so I could raise the head part for my reflux. This mattress was on one of these flexible frames that I also purchased in the store. In the store I tried the mattress and remote to raise the head area and it seemed fine. What I didn't know at the time of purchase was it would be impossible to raise the head area any higher than a few inches due to the fact that this mattress is 15" thick and not really designed to flex anywhere. Can't understand why the store was marketing mattress and flexible frame together. When mattress and frame arrived I was disappointed to sleep on it. The head part did go up slightly just as in the store, but since the mattress is 15" thick, it couldn't bend anywhere. The more I tried to raise just the head area, the more of a slant I was in to the point I was sliding downward with the blankets.. The foot part did go up when I tried with the remote to prevent the sliding but of course the 15" thick mattress could not bend in that area either. Now I was more than 2 feet off the floor and lying totally flat on the mattress defeating the purpose of my purchase. Luckily I was able to return the adjustable frame and mattress successfully.
