I was long overdue for a new bed. My old mattress was 20+ years old. The Novosbed was admittedly not my first choice and it was more expensive than the mattress and foundation I intended to purchase, but I don't regret it at all. There's a fundamental joy in looking forward to retiring to a comfortable, supportive mattress each night. I sleep well and enjoy a restored sense of wellbeing that may not be exclusive to Novosbed (when searching/shopping), but in my case it is. Buyers beware the assembly of the base is a task. I've taken to comparing the preparation of my kingsize foundation to the assembly of a small shed, but there is satisfaction in knowing what it's made of and how strong it is. Additionally, it is noteworthy that your purchase is of standard size. I did not need to replace my old king sized frame beneath the base. Overall, an excellent purchase that I don't regret at all.
