24R split bed

[Poppie]

Thinking of buying a 24R. Has anyone had a problem with the split bed.

[Loefflerh]

Not at all - believe it or not it is the most comfortable bed I have!

[embrquilts]

No problem here either, but did put a foam pad on top as it was a little hard for me. As one other person has said just stand next to the bottom and hold in place if you have a foam pad when you pull the slide in and it all moves very nicely into place.

We love ours too. It is surprisingly comfortable.

Split Mattress is fine by us and we have had ours since August 2013. We did put 2 inch egg shell-type topper on it to soften it some. Enjoy !!

Great comments. How do you "make" the bed in the morning? We can't imagine how neatly / easily it folds up for travel. We're getting closer to making a buying decision and haven't been able to find one to try out on a rental anywhere (would love it if anyone knows where we could find one!)

Thanks for any input to help with our decision!

When the slide moves in, the rear half of the mattress slides on top of the forward half (mattress is cut on a bias). To make the bed, pull the rear half of the mattress forward place the bedding, then push the half back in place.

I only have one dealer that rents them right now. A dealer near Portland, Oregon. Just added another in Colorado Springs.

Not sure if we have any on the east coast.

Do you have to make and unmake the bed every day? I was considering the back slider but thought it would be a real pain to have to take the sheet and blankets off every time you brought the slider in or out.

Leave the bedding on. It will move with the mattress when you retract the slide out.

We have had 2014 since Sept 2014 and find the split bed very comfortable. We use queen fitted sheet on it. Then flat sheet and blanket as necessary (we do not carry bedspread that came with the unit). When we slide the bed in, believe it or not, the mattress stacks within fitted sheet with minor adjustment necessary. Conversely, when we slide bed out, fitted sheet and other bedding goes back into place. We were surprised the way it worked with little problems.

hope this helps. Good luck.

We'll be picking up our Solera Tues. and let you know about the bed. That was a concern for me as was the mattress comfortable. Happy to hear the positive remarks on that.

[Tranquil Jim]

The split mattress works like a charm; folds neatly and the bedding remains in place. We love ours. And, as others have said, we find it very comfortable with a foam pad added on top.

I was skeptical at first, but was won over quickly.

My wife and I just got one last summer and we are very happy with it. The bed halves stay together, and you don't feel the split because of where it is.

[Susan94066]

We now can attest that review were correct. The mattress is comfortable I leave Queen bedding on and just pull back thick blankets I don't use any bedspread.

What is the name of the "near Portland" dealer that rents Solara's. I'm very interested in trying one before I make the plunge.
