My wife and I have a platform bed and it sits pretty low to the ground. I got a new mattress about a year ago, it was quite a bit heavier than my old one and after about 6 months, it became increasingly more difficult to make the bed every morning. I ran across the Uplift 360 online and gave them a call to ask a few questions. They informed me that I would also need the slat adapter for my platform. Wasn't thrilled about this, but really didn't see any other options out there. I ordered it, it arrived right on time and installed it. WOW is all I can really say, it lifts the mattress just high enough for my wife and I to get our hands in there and tuck everything in—you can even adjust the height the mattress lifts by opening and closing the airflow zippers. I have a headboard, so the rotation is a little tight, but everything works great. Highly recommend.
