Thank you for your beducational video. Honestly was very bery helpful. Do you do other videos?
Thank you! I only create the Beducation videos about mattresses, componentry and sleep.
Hi Jeff ....Great Stuff ...Where can this Quick setup guide be located as it appears to be Missing ?W Ould you have an Address ..Thx.
The Raven manual is located here: lpadjustablebeds.com/files/downloads/owners-manuals/raven-owners-manual.pdf .
Has the frame been revamped to become a bit higher off the ground or is this their standard setting for all of the beds of this brand/kind?
The Raven base shown here uses fixed-height legs and is set up as it would be out of the box. Adjustable bed bases from various brands, and models within a particular brand's lineup, can have varying heights. It's common for the height of an adjustable bed deck to be around 15"-16" to approximate the height of a normal mattress frame and box spring set up. Some models will use legs that are adjustable in height, and these can adjust the overall height of the base within a 5"-6" range. And then there are a few adjustable bed bases that are designed to be "zero-clearance" models where they can be used without the legs, and the frame of the adjustable bed base may be placed directly upon the floor or deck of a platform bed.
Mattress To Go thank you.
Trying to figure out if I should put the slats for my bed frame with an adjustable base. The bed frame doesn't feel sturdy I think the slats would help. Am I wrong to think that it would break when I adjustable the frame?
The bed set should be totally independent of the adjustable bed base (unless you're using an adjustable bed base specifically designed to sit upon the deck of a platform bed).
If your bed set seems flimsy without the use of the cross slats, double check where the side rails affix to the headboard and footboard and make sure that those connections are secure. Cross slats in most designs won't lend too much to the structural integrity of the bed set unless they are dovetailed or secured via screws to the side rails. The bed set in a situation like this would be purely decorative and wouldn't support the weight of the mattress or adjustable bed base.
If you did decide to leave a few cross slats in place for what you deem to be structural integrity reasons, you'd need to be sure that they do not come in contact with the adjustable bed base as it moves throughout its entire range of motion.
In most cases we would recommend removing all of the cross slats to avoid any conflicts between the adjustable bed bases and the bed set.
@@BeducationMattress thank you!
You're welcome!
I cannot get my remote to work. I also can’t find my manual. Is there information online? Thank you
If you have a Leggett and Platt adjustable bed (I'm assuming you do, as you've responded to a video for that brand), their manuals are posted online here: lpadjustablebeds.com/adjustable-bed-base-manuals
I’m not able to get a queen frame up my stairs unless it’s a split box. Would this be able to bend to go up my stairs?
Good question. You'd want to look for a queen adjustable bed base that is split horizontally. This is more common the past few years - the base basically ships folded in half like a folding table. This makes for a smaller shipping profile, and also facilitates transport up and down small stairways. This particular base is not split horizontally and would most likely be problematic for you based upon your comments of needing a split queen foundation.
@@BeducationMattress This was very helpful, Thanks
You're welcome.
Does this remote have a child lock on it? My remote worked great when I went to sleep but would not work when I woke the next morning.
No, the Raven doesn't feature a lock for the remote. Look at page 12 of the manual for Troubleshooting tips here: lpadjustablebeds.com/document/load/raven-owners-manual-1.pdf . Common instances are batteries coming loose within the remote, batteries being weak, cables coming loose from the power brick or wall, surge protectors being tripped, or the need to reaffiliate the remote with the base. Solutions are outlined in the manual. Good luck!
What is the material(s) the platform is made of? Can it be washed or is it dustmite resistant?
The cover of this power foundation if a polyester/rayon blend (80/20) and is permanently stapled to the platform decking. It is not made to be removed or washed. As far as being "dust-mite resistant", that would be more of an issue of maintaining a clean sleeping environment and frequently vacuuming up skin cells (the buffet of dust mites) on the adjustable base deck, maintaining a cooler sleeping environment and also keeping a low relative humidity. Doing so will help keep your dust mite population at a lower level.
I need the king size instructions. This bed seems to be a double or queen. Very different.
This video shows the Raven in a queen size. The assembly for the king isn't much different. You can review the Raven manual here: lpadjustablebeds.com/document/load/raven-owners-manual-1.pdf
Wher can I purchase a mattress retainer bar

I’ve been researching power foundations and their warranties pretty much suck. Giving a 20-25 year warranty on the frame is worthless. It’s steel, it’s not going to fall apart. The motors and hydraulics are what wear out and they are typically only covered for a year or two. This is the only reason I haven’t bought a power foundation. And extended warranties you can purchase are worthless too, they don’t cover the motors or hydraulics either, except I have see one that had a pro-rated coverage, meaning each year you own the foundation they pay less and less for repairs. As bad as I want and need a power foundation, I just can’t bring myself to spend the money on something that has so many moving parts and such crappy warranty coverage.
I'll be the first one to agree that power foundation warranties are convoluted, but as with mattresses, I'll advise against making a purchase decision based upon a warranty. Instead, I advise to focus on the quality of componentry, in which case a warranty really doesn't become a necessity. Focus upon what is built well and then will work correctly, hedging your bets of getting something that will be durable, versus making a decision primarily based upon the potential of what might or could go wrong. With adjustable bed bases, there really aren't too many moving parts, and if there's a defect in a motor or the brain it tends to show up relatively early in the life of the product, when there typically is coverage on the electronics. Some companies, such as Rize, have extended the coverage of the electronics of the power foundation for the first 5 years of ownership, basically as a marketing tool and also to placate those who place an inordinate emphasis on product warranty - not because of any large amount of defects. And if a long warranty is a concern, there are indeed extended warranty companies out there who do offer 100% full coverage of parts and labor (electronics and frame) for certain time periods depending upon the plan purchased. With any power foundation, the best thing any consumer can do is to use a quality surge protector to safeguard the electronics of the device (most every power foundation company recommends this). Overall I share the opinion of many knowledgeable people for whom I have great respect in my industry who lament that warranties in North America for mattresses and adjustable bed bases tend to be used more for marketing than out of necessity, and are much longer than they need to be for an item that is used every single night, and should be brought more in line with what is seen in the rest of the world, with expansion of extended warranties for those for whom warranty length is a concern. But I don't see that happening any time soon.
