7 zone slatted Rhodes EL - head and foot electrically adjustable bed bases 44 slats 90x200 cm middle chord

In spring 2009 we were looking for new mattress for our bed. When searching, we quickly realized that the bed frames played a not to be underestimated. So purely in the stores and searched ... 42 slats, front high, behind high, beech, etc. ... but we already had almost everything somehow. We had bed frames that were to lift the head and foot. But if we're honest ... we do not know when we used this function for the last time, because it's a bit awkward, with all the bedding to use the slatted frame (especially when you get tired and for lowering again must stand up).

Strolling in a large furniture store in Berlin asked me a salesman for mattresses test ". By the way, he showed me the work" of a motor-driven slatted frame. Pleasant sitting posture and shutdown ... a dream for the back. A pleasant routes went through my spine (with whom I so my niggles have been around for a few years). The thing with the engine bed frames was a blast, the price in the furniture store but also. So friendly thanks and get out of the store. What still bothered me ... the mechanics looked partly from not very reassuring. So looked at other houses, Internet tortured, plowed through various forums and slowly developed a feeling for quality and need. New mattresses ... no question. New bed frames had to be, but now electric.

The prices in the local furniture stores could not lure us as a healthy price / Leistung- was mostly unrecognizable relationship for us. After some internet research we ended at Rhodes. Not in Greece, but ... in the company FMP Mattress Factory "Rösrath in Germany.

7 zone slatted frame Rhodes EL - head and foot electrically adjustable, 44 bars, 2 engines "

The company FMP mattresses Manufaktur "offers its slatted frame Rhodes EL" ... 7 zones, carrying wooden slats, holm covering TRIO rubber caps, 2 motors, mains cut-off, emergency lowering, middle chord, etc. at a price to where we said Gosh, demands ".

So actually everything available, what distinguishes a very good framework. Ok, the price was very interesting, but what about the materials used? What is the mechanism designed? Some furniture stores we had seen lifting arms "for the upper and lower parts which lifted the wooden frame on plastic caps. Because even noticed the salesman that it was probably not so very well done (???, Aha!).

So get on the phone and ... at the other end of the boss himself. Asked questions ... pleasantly quiet all get explained. Oops, forgot to ask, as the remote control looks (the eye eats as well known with). Again on the phone ... again received very good information.

The decision was made. The information about the processing and the technology used were comprehensive. We bought two electric bed frames Rhodes EL in the size 100 x 200 cm. That was in May 2009. The expectation of delivery should not take long. After three days of the forwarding phoned us and agreed the delivery date.

Now, after one year of daily use, I want to try our experience with the 7 zone slatted frame Rhodes EL "reproduce.

1. Delivery / packaging
May, at the time of delivery as described above not be objected to. We would also accept longer delivery times, because it is indeed to bulky acts "and this can not be shipped package as a rule. The packing was exemplary. The entire frame was wrapped in bubble wrap and shrink-wrapped whole in foil. The frame parts, the cable the remote control and the power cord were lashed to the base frame with cable ties. Nothing rattled, nothing was loose and chafed. Transport damages were not determine what would have been in this exemplary packaging also hardly possible.

2. Facts and Figures
Clean processing, protective caps on the frame ends, clean welds on the temples, clean paint the metal parts in silver. At first and even at second glance ... nothing to complain about.

The overall dimensions of the base frame amount to 196 x 99 cm. Thus enough room in a 2x1m bed.

The total height of the frame incl. Engine and transmission part is 21 cm.
The pure frame height is 11 cm. Thus must lie below the frame rest still at least 10 cm space remains for the motor and transmission unit. We were there still 20 cm air, so no problems.

The frame is in my terminology into three main parts subdivided (headboard, midsection, foot). The actual head (70 cm) is subdivided by a massive extra frame, so that when the upper body is lifted, the head is always kept a little steeper forward (similar to a car seat - the rest is slightly oblique to the rear, the headrest holds the head but straight). This extra headrest we have not found in our research everywhere and certainly not with a stable extra frame. The slatted frame surface of the small upper head part (of extra frame) consists of a plate with three slots, so 4 strips formed with a lateral reinforcement and three other bars. Despite the apparent stable construction, the strip springs inside the plate. This plate is, like the other three strips, stored in rubber caps. Three bars are grouped together on a cap and spring-mounted. The lower head part then consists of 9 strips, which were also summarized on rubber caps each 3 strips blocks. The middle part is fixed to the base frame and is 3 x 3 strips blocks formed. The strips are here adjustable in their hardness. After 1120 cm, the foot part of the frame begins. This is also shared (via a ribbon hinge), so that a parallel lifting of the actual base part is guaranteed. With the first small section 3 strips of thigh is lifted about 2 x. The lower portion (58 cm) is then always parallel to the base frame and has 3 x 3 strips blocks and a foot (in my opinion made the same way as the top plate "). Thus, for the scope of a division in fact five cuts.

The rubber caps protrude beyond the frame sides and close to the outer edge of the base frame from. Thus, a jamming of the mattress between the frame parts is prevented, as well as the lowering of the mattress at the outer edges (especially important for double beds).

The middle chord across all strips is to prevent the displacement of the slats in longitudinal direction of the frame. The belt webbing is strong and looks very stable.

Pure bar frame surface has a length of 193 cm.

The engine and transmission unit comes from the company DEWERT. The model is DUOMAT 5 ". There are two engines available. The engine and transmission unit is located below the frame on the right side and extends downward 10 cm above the lower frame edge out (starting from 62 cm to 130 cm, measured from the top) ,

The transmission unit moves the metal brackets, which are responsible for the raising and lowering of the frame parts. The build quality is very stable. The actual lifting arms are made of 4 mm thick flat iron, which is 30 mm wide. The flat iron are centered easily folded and look very stable. The lift arms are firmly on joints with the frame parts. On the frame parts are screwed massive shooting angle, the lifting arms by bolts (secured with snap rings) the record. This clean and stable processing is very reassuring in our eyes. The rear lift arms are lowered state in frame height. The front lifting arms have due to the necessary angle mechanics measured in lowered state its lowest point at 11 cm from the front. There, the lifting mechanism reaches 9 cm below the lower edge of frame (Warning cross boards, bed box usage etc.).

3. Installation / Assembly
To raise the bar frame in the bed box a little force is required. After weighing the bed frames about 28 Kg. It usually takes only two people to clean the frame in bed store. It should be noted that due to the technical condition in double beds, a central support for the framework (stable bar with uprights, along a frame support) must be present. Transversal boards can interfere since the lifting mechanism and the engine and transmission unit need space along below the frame. Transversal boards can however still be used if they are cut out at the appropriate points.

The current connection is a 380 cm long power cord. The power plug is a (similar to a normal plug-in charger) integrated block. This block contains the main electrical switch. This was important to us, as not all manufacturers unlocking perform the plug. Thus, no voltage is short time here after the last operation on the engine under the bed of (no magnetic fields etc.).

For emergency lowering, so if during a power failure, the bed is just lifted, is located on the engine and transmission unit a bracket, in a 9V battery connected. Right next to it is a holder in which a normal 9V battery Anschuss (as we it from normal 9V game or radios and measuring instruments etc. know her) was clamped. To use the emergency lowering then only the 9V to be pressed on the Anschuss. Since the battery thus always "is available at the bed, they can not accidentally get lost times also.

4. Use
The remote control looks appealing. Dimensions 14 cm x 5 cm x 2.5 cm. All edges rounded. Bottom (cable) semicircle. Colour light gray with six black round control buttons in two rows. Among the scarf buttons a stylized bar frame is shown in order to assign the keys for the front and back can. On the back of the remote controller holder can be pulled out, which makes it possible to mount the remote control on the side of the bed. Thus, the remote control is not around anywhere and is always at hand. The system can be: front high, front down, back up, back down, both high, both down. For raising and lowering the corresponding button must be pressed. After the button is released the motor stops immediately. The remote control is connected via a 150 cm long cable with the motor unit. This is divided into a 95 cm long straight section, a 50 cm long spiral cable part (the 50 cm can be stretched easily to 180 cm) long and in another 5 cm straight section before the remote control.

When raising and lowering the frame bar The following values ​​were measured from me:
unloaded
front: the power of 16 seconds down 15 seconds - each to stop and motor from
Rear: high 13 seconds down 12 seconds - each to stop and motor from
loaded with 104 kg and without the upper body lift
front: the power of 24 seconds down 16 seconds - each to stop and motor from
Rear: High 15 seconds down 12 seconds - each to stop and motor from

These times are including about 2-3 seconds each for starting the engine until the start of the lifting and moving to the end position until engine. Where you do not always need to approach the Motorenendschalter my opinion.

The headboard is made very steep at maximum position. The main frame of the head part is at the pivot point on max. 55 degrees superscript. The inserted small headboard frame is further superscript at its joint, so that there is an angle of 80 degrees is taken to the base frame in the maximum case. This adjustment rich wonderful for reading, watching TV and eating upright in bed (who likes it so). The good support for sick people (and possibly necessary caregivers) can be any well-imagine itself. The foot is lifted by a maximum of 16 cm parallel to the base frame.

Now what does the volume? Since I can not measure the engine and transmission volume, I try to compare. It is a very quiet and never annoying buzzing, which is due to the ambient noise can hardly perceive the day. However, if absolute silence reigns, I would by a somewhat stronger volume level of an electric toothbrush or an electric. Razor out. We do not feel the engine noise also from the maturity ago as disturbing. Especially since it is the motor actuating time typically 5 - 8 seconds is (who always travels until it stops).

Even now, after a year of use ... neither in the operation of the frame, even when sleeping / lying in the lowered state noise are as creak, squeak, rattle to be heard. In upscale as well as in the lowered position, everything is fixed, stable, and gives the body a feeling of security. One need not cautious or slow to move, for fear of the mechanics or the bed frames could occur or fail.

We are very excited to have the pleasant lazy way to lift the tired legs touch of a button, remember to how to relax pleasantly and how easy it is to search for the desired sleeping position by pressing a button ... or the body after the front and rear parts was slightly raised, pleasant to stretch a bit by simultaneously lowering both sides (for me a very pleasant side effect for the small back problems). Very good, we also feel that the fact that due to the division of the front part of the head is raised to continue. The eternal ... "Give it another pillow" ... now belongs to the past. Whether stored when reading or watching TV, the head is very well supported and relaxed and natural.

5. Service
In the telephone call to the product we were very good and comprehensive information.
Delivery costs are not charged extra.
Due to the current order in the family, we know that even special designs for a small and reasonable charge are possible.

6. Conclusion
We say thank you for a very good product, a very fair price and a previously pleasant customer service.

... Even though we are only at the end 30 and early 40s, the motor function of our two bed frames, we do not want to miss ...

This electric bed frames we can recommend without hesitation and with a clear conscience and wish all our readers also such a good night's sleep. Good sleep is important because most of his life we ​​now sleepy times.

In this sense ...

With best regards
