Delta’s mattress sucks pond water! We ran down to Lowes for a Hybrid foam/coil full Queen 10” tall mattress. Normally about $800 on sale for $499; with my military 10% off, it got cheap. Out with the old; in with the new. Of course, an Alliance professional ran a sheetrock screw (mounts the hydraulic lift to raise the bed) through the bed platform so it ripped the Delta mattress Taking it out. Ground off ¼”+ of the screw tip and reinserted. Found 3 more just shy of breaking through. But the mattress is great! We bought a much pricier one for the house a few months ago. This one is better. Of course, a 10” tall mattress is tough to climb aboard!

I also swapped to a real mattress. I am not 20 anymore and I like comfort.
How do the struts hold up with the extra thick mattress for the underbed storage? We opted for a 2" memory foam topper (about 20lbs) instead, which brings it to almost normal mattress thickness, and still allows decent lift with the strut assist. I am sensitive to all extra tongue weight so we wouldn't do the whole mattress but I've been curious how well the bed still lifts if we ever did that route.
