Once removed and unfolded, you find all you need is boxed and attached with zip ties to the undercarriage of the bed (see photo). The legs (6 in total) have layered sections that unscrew so you can add or remove height in increments (see photo). The legs have a hard plastic foot, which isn’t bad, but we were afraid might scratch the hardwood floor. We attached felt tabs that had adhesive backing, just to be safe (see photo).

Both beds easily fit into an existing bed frame when you remove the slats that support the old box spring (see photo showing one of the 2 in place).

All the cords lay on the floor, much to the dismay of my lovely wife who like an easy to clean household. To maintain happiness in said household, I twist tied them up and out of the way onto the frame, taking care not to tie to any moving frame parts or where moving frame parts contact each other.

There is a battery backup box that gets plugged in tandem with the power brick, incase of power outages. Good design thought here. They tell you in the instructions, and on a decal on the outside of the battery backup box, not to leave the batteries in as they, over long periods of time, can leak acid and ruin the box. This is true and power outages are rare but I didn’t want to have to crawl under the bed to access the battery box the power ever did decide to go out. So, instead of having the wired battery box lay on the floor, I zip tied them to the base of our bed frame for easier access (see photo).

VERY quiet , smooth and comfortable speed in operation. The under bed lighting is subtle and welcomed for those middle of the night relief breaks. 2 USB ports per bed are also welcome, too, placed at the outer edge under the head of the bed. Yes, under, not on the side. Once you have whatever charging cable plugged in here, you’ll probably want to leave the cables plugged in there and plug/unplug the device you’re charging instead. Not sure we will ever use the massage feature, which is a good design but kind of a novelty. We definitely wanted the ability to have memory presets, the one touch zero-G position, one touch anti-snore position (my wife thanks you) and the under bed lighting. The massage just happened to come with the package.

Very well made, very quiet and very sad we didn’t get one these YEARS ago. As a 54 year old male, the zero-G offers welcomed back relief (which has had herniated disc surgery). And my wife (who remains ageless) says she has never slept so well.

The bed package we created was completely from Amazon and for thousands (yes, thousands) less than an area chain store quoted us. We got this split king adjustable bed frame set with:

UPDATE February 2023:
Here’s it is, 5 years and 2 moves later: Still working without a hitch, still loving this bed. Everything mentioned above (including me, my ageless wife, the bed frame and the bed sheets) remains in excellent working order. One of the best, non regrettable purchases we’ve ever made.

First off, setting it up is simple; unpack the two twin adjustable bases and set them on their side, set length and install each of their six legs per base, plug in the power supply to the base, turn the frame upside up and plug in the base to an electrical socket. Then you unpack the remote control, install the three included AAA batteries and perform a test of each of the bed’s function.

Unpacking the two mattresses took a little patient to prevent damaging them. They are compressed and then vacuumed-sealed in clear, thick plastic, so one must be careful not to cut through the mattress when removing the plastic. Once unwrapped, it only takes a few minutes for the mattresses to expand to their original thickness.

So, we had a chance to sleep on this bed for the last two nights, plus I took a nap yesterday using its zero-gravity position. So far, I must say that this bed is everything the manufacture claims it to be. At first, I thought the mattress was going to be too soft, but it turns out to be just right. It’s very comfortably and, especially, the bed’s zero-gravity adjustment is a great feature when taking a nap or just for relaxing.

Since the king-split comes with two separate bases and mattresses, there’s no disturbance when one partner moves around or get up from the bed. Also, each bed includes two remote controls to adjust each base independently. The remotes come with three quick programmed adjustments, which can be changed or reprogrammed by user. The under the bed light comes on handy when getting up in the middle of the night for any reason…bright enough to walk safely at night, but not so bright to disturb others.

I tried using its massage feature, but due to its 12” thick mattress, IMO, it doesn’t provide a real benefit; the vibration just doesn’t travel well through the mattress. Each base comes with four USB ports; they are under the bed, positioned upside down. Because they are upside down, if the USB cable is not tight, it can fall off and get disconnected, especially when adjusting the frame. This can be prevented by squeezing the cable’s metal connector a bit at a time until it goes in tight. You can also use plastic ties to tie the cable to the bed’s frame.

As for the price, IMO, there’s no lower price on an adjustable bed, with such features and quality, in the market right now. I did several researches, searching for adjustable beds that didn’t cost an arm and a leg, while providing at least some basic features. This bed came out on top, not just because of its many features, but especially when it came to price. Most manufactures I checked offered just the adjustable base, without the mattress, for about the same price as this complete set.

To summarize; at least for the split-king bed, it’s simple to setup…no tools needed. It includes two mattresses, two bases and two remote controls. The bed is comfortable, and the remotes work well when adjusting the bases. The bed is also great for relaxing after a hard-day’s work, though, IMO, its massage feature can be improved. Finally, you can’t beat its price, especially with the many useful features. It looks and feels solid built, but only time will tell how long it’ll last.

So, for now, I give this bed a five star because its many features, price and seller support. I recommend it.

One more thing, I had to contact the seller twice because of issues with FedEx shipping. They replied each time and followed up to ensure the issues were resolved. At least to me, that’s a plus…it says a lot about a seller when they stand by their product and ensure customer satisfaction.

Update: Each bed needs six legs, not four as I had stated previously. Each leg comes in sections, with each section measuring approximately 3-inches in length. You adjust the legs by adding or removing sections. With all four sections installed per leg, bed’s height is approximately 14.5 inches to the top of the base and 27 inches to the top of the mattress.

The anti-snore feature may be useful for back sleepers, but I can’t see how it’ll benefit side sleepers. As I understand it, this is the way it’s supposed to work; if your partner is snoring, you press the anti-snoring button on the remote and this will raise the head side of the bed a few degrees. This action momentarily interrupts your partner’s snoring (similar to when shaking someone who is snoring). After about 5-minutes, the bed will return to its flat position.

I didn’t think I’d be this pleased with this bed frame but WOW. For 1/3 the price of competitors? It’s a steal.

I didn’t anticipate that it would come folded in half which makes it really easy to move apartments. And the modular leg system got me the perfect height.

Very smooth and quiet motors. Articulates higher than you would ever need it to.

And the massage motors! The lowest setting is by far the best because the low RPM is actually more soothing and less aggressive. Quiet enough to let me enjoy a movie and not to disturb my downstairs neighbors. I’m using a Purple mattress and there’s no issue feeling them all the way through. Just wish they timed out after 30 mins instead of 10.

After about 5 minutes in zero g with the massage running, you really start to feel the effect on your muscles and circulation. I’m so relaxed!

Setup was SO easy. Plug n play. Ask a friend for help. The remote is intuitive and everything is right where I want it.

Very clean & simple design. Well built & sturdy. Not an eyesore and still allows for plenty of under bed storage (avoiding the articulating arms).

Seriously, if you’re thinking about it you better pull the trigger on this thing ASAP. I can’t say enough about it. Well done!

First off, the not good news: the product came in a heavily damaged original shipping box. It was manufactured and boxed by our friends in China, who then sent it to South Bay International, Inc., in Fontana, CA. Our friends there stored the merchandise in their warehouse and from there shipped it to me across the country (New England). The result of this long journey across half the globe: There was a long slash on one side which thankfully did not completely cut through. On the other side, though, there was a gash, and a puncture in the material which covers the upside surface of the foot end of the base. Once I saw that, I immediately decided to return the shipment. You can easily print out a UPS shipping label via Amazon’s site. But guess what: you gotta schlep 119 lbs to the nearest UPS drop-off location. You must grant it to Jeff: he does treat his customers as badly as his workers and the merchants using Amazon Marketplace, miser that he is. I tried to schedule UPS Pickup – but then I have to pay. A lot. UPS failed to show up for 48 hours for pickup. So I had plenty of time to take another look at the bed frame – and decided to keep it after all, having gone through four phone calls with UPS (I refrain from describing the experience. Let’s say it is Kafkaesque). Nuff said.

Now, the good news: Once the base is out of the box and carefully (!) laid out on the floor, some contents fall out of their (attached) boxes. Remember: this stuff comes all the way from our dear low-wage friends in China, so the occurrence is natural. Not a single one of accessory the contents was damaged. After proper close inspection, the base is easily made ready by screwing in the legs. Then carefully (!) turn it on its side, and then lower it into its normal position. My base is a queen size and I managed to do this alone. Plugging in the power cord and testing the base was successful, everything works as it is supposed to.

I own a McRoskey mattress, and the base handles it well. I will know more over the next several nights. For me, the Zero Gravity position is ideal for a brief 30 minute power rest/nap in the afternoon. I anticipate some relief with elevating my head at night, as I hope my snoring will be less (I tend to become an event when I sleep!).

First Impression: This adjustable base is pretty good for the amount of money you pay for it. As others have noted, the price is several times higher among the usual vendors, and one does save a lot with this product.

What about the puncture? Well, it thankfully hasn’t torn the upside cover material, as it only created a small hole. Moreover, it is covered by my mattress. Since I tend to use the base most of the time with my eyes closed, it doesn’t matter much after all…:-) Of course, there is always the option of putting on a piece of good old American duct tape.

The Caveat: much sturdier packaging would protect this product better. In my case the damage was, considering all things, minor. It could have been much worse. I am lucky this time while hoping that prospective buyers experience the same luck – and, once they go for this base and receive it in good condition, a well-earned sound sleep.

For the split king there are two individual twin xl beds – one in each of the boxes. The beds are folded in half, with all the components & needed wires on the inside of the fold (which is the underside of the bed frame). You start by cutting all the tie-wraps that are holding the boxes, the end retainer bar, the instruction booklet, and connecting bed strap (to hold the two twins side-by-side for a king). 3 of the boxes contain the legs, which just need to be hand tightened and hand screwed into the 6 bed frame leg slots (height of your choosing). You then plug the power cords together, get the beds into place, and then if you want them synchronized there is just one cord that needs to be plugged into each side of the bed into the one open connection slot.

Assembly Recommendation – I was initially trying not to disassemble my bed frame, but decided to do it (it was simple) and it made the install much easier. By taking off the side rails and the foot-board, I could get the beds in around the right place, and once setup I just pushed them a couple feet into place. So if you can, I would separate or disassemble your bed frame, get the assembly done, connect them, push the bases into place and then reassemble bed frame.

One note on measurements – I did have a wooden support bar on the bottom part of my headboard that made the length fit be really tight and prevented the top of the base from going all the way down. This made for a little work to remove this pre-installed bar, but was just part of the process.

The remote is nice and works as expected. To program any one of the three manual programmable positions, once the bed is in the position you want it to be in, you just have to hold down the number for a few seconds until the remote flashes. I couldn’t find this instruction anywhere.

The underbed light is nice and not too bright. The massage feature can be turned on for the head or foot, or both at the same time. It frankly is really just a vibration, but while watching TV it is nice to have on for a bit.

I have an full innerspring mattress – Winkbed. The bed has no trouble adjusting to this base, though it does seem to seem like it does slide a few inches towards the end of the bed since most of the time we have the head up some. With the head up, you are definitely further away from your nightstands (you have to turn and reach to get something from them). This isn’t just for this bed from what I’ve seen – most have similar challenge.

My only small issue is that with either remote, it seems like when having head or foot go up or down, one side goes up or down just a little further than the other. This is nothing noticeable with the mattress on, and I have yet to contact the company about it, but just wanted to write it in case someone else encountered.

Overall, for ease of install, the features, and the warranty, I’m happy with my purchase so far. Glad I made the decision I did (to-date).

Cons:
the remote is wireless and we kept loosing it. To remedy this small frustration, purchased double sided Velcro strips, and attached it to our headboard along with remote. Works perfectly and remote is easy to find and remove if needed. Another con is the size and inability to break it down such as a regular bed frame or headboard frame. The smallest it will go is twin size with no legs.

I would purchase this again with no hesitation at all. Worth the money and quality is good.
