I bought this bed to replace a 6 yr old Sealy mattress. It arrived really quick (it was shipped from my home state) to Wenzel's credit they shipped it the first buisness day after the order. The bed it self measured about an inch more in width once 350 lbs worth of people were laying on top. Very comfortable. The bed can be placed at a multitude of position's. I found it to be the perfect platform for reading, watching Tv or playing an Xbox game. Sleeping on it has been nice to! The firmness control( while simple in design ) works well. It may not meet a "Sleep#" bed's design, but from what I have read they are very expensive and for sub $200 this is a super bed. As part of my original plan, I also bought a memory foam topper and pillow's. The combo with this bed is un-beatable and Wenzel should consider selling Memory foam as part of a package. I got a Sealy 3lb density 2in foam with pillows and kept it under $300 for the whole package including shipping. The bed holds the foam in place perfectly and to it's credit still makes perfect use of the elevation feature's. I wrote this review from my new bed and couldn't be more comfortable.

We purchased this bed to replace our conventional mattress/box springs bed. We had shopped for many months comparing sleep number beds, and other high end beds that would raise at the head. My husband and I both suffer from back and hip pain, and over the past 9 years have purchased 4 different mattresses, each one lasted no more than 2 years before we found them so uncomfortable, we could not sleep on them anymore. This bed has been wonderful, being able to adjust the firmness, raise and lower the head, and the added plus of being able to raise the feet portion of the bed, even better! I would totally recommend this bed for anyone that suffers from back or hip trouble. It has been the best purchase we ever made. We are now considering ordering a second one for our guest room instead of a day bed or futon. I know our guests will thank us for it.
