had a mattress custom made here locally. we were able to go to the factory and they laid out different pieces of different densities till we got the feel we liked. we got a latex foam mattress.

they did a really nice job on it.

here is a picture..

Got a chuckle out of that picture. Is there any room in your home that doesn't contain a Newell part?

only 8 of our rooms have newell parts in them. so only a little more than a 1/3rd of the house.

my buddy garry came over and spent a long day working on the bed. he got it laminated and the rest of it structurally built.

he is coming over tomorrow to finish it enough to use. we laminated the back wall with the same laminate that the bed is and the nightstands will be.

a bunch of pictures are attached.

ok, bed is in. it is done except for lining the inside with carpet and putting the linear actuator in to raise the bed platform. i have the actuator, but no time to install it.

i put most of the bedroom back together but still have to put the back valence in yet.

darlene custom fit the mattress cover, sheets and blanket.

gettin there!

Lookin' Good Tom! That was quite the undertaking...and it was great that you shared with all of us! Thanks!

One question though....What keeps the mattress on the platform? (Mine has a lip that goes all the way around)

Cheers,
bill

bill,

the simple answer is friction

i looked at the newell bed designs that had the lip and with my extra big behind i didnt want to sit on the lip. steve bare's bed does have the lip so i copied his.

it aint going anywhere. if it does slide, i will put carpet on the top of it.

tom

Newell puts clear silicone on the box portion of the bed. They just squeeze it in the form of an "S" all over the bed box frame. This prevents the mattress from sliding off. No need for a lip; the mattress stays in place.

Simplicity is the key!

Tom, you have a real bedroom. That looks great. I know you will enjoy sleeping on your new bed much more than on the couch that was in there. Have a great trip.

My bed has the silicone S's and the mattress creeps down toward the foot of the bed every night leaving a gap between the mattress and the headboard large enough for my pillow to drop into. I may try Tom's idea of carpeting so see if that holds better.

on my 90 i put new carpeting on the deck of the bed. the mattress didnt move at all.

will see if this one moves. i really doubt it, but if it does i will put carpet on it as well.

the carpet i used was a thick plush

I wonder if something like this would work better? I have it under an area rug and it works great and won't slip on a hardwood floor.
