@@goodbedThank you for such detail, Mike. I'm not super clear on the massage motors (placement or how many are present). I have the 2022 ergo & the massage motor (one upper, one lower) seems to be on the right hand side of the bed, so very little motion on the left side of the bed. Is this the norm for motor placement?

Just bought the Luxebreeze Medium Hybrid and the ProSmart Ergo base last week….this bed is the best I’ve ever slept on. Definitely is proving to be worth the investment!
Can i ask what size you are because I’ve been looking at a medium hybrid also. I’ve never tried a tempurpedic and know I will most likely have to give it a chance for a few weeks but want to talk to others to help me make that decision
@@android-ud2nfI bought the Luxe breeze medium with ergo base. I’m 6’2” and 220lb. Have had it for six weeks. Like the bed. With the springs, it’s got a different feel than typical tempur beds. It almost feels a bit firmer than softer. Ergo base is very good. I use it more than anticipated. Good luck.
@@illmatiK4 I bought the same. Big improvement over my old bed, but getting soreness on hip and shoulder when sleep on side. I’m 6’2” and 210 lb so my case may not be standard. Only 90 days in, hoping it continues to soften.
@@android-ud2nf sorry for the late response… I’m 5’10, 215lbs. It’s comfortable for me and provides enough firmness/softness for me in any position I sleep in. I’m not big on the cushy mattresses that let you sink in the bed nor the super hard mattresses that have no give. I think the hybrid gives you the best of both worlds.
Be sure to read the terms and conditions of the sleep app. It requires you to agree to allow monitoring of all your web browsing and other intrusive measures.
Thank you! This has been very helpful. I bought the Ergo ProSmart base a few weeks ago and was still struggling with figuring out what all of the buttons do.
Just bought mine today - went with Base Ergo - let's see how it goes, didn't need all the bells and whistle - I was going to just get the mattress, but opted in for it
In our experience people generally like split king foundations if one partner has a strong preference for reclining or "zero gravity" positions. Though keep in mind that you'll need two Twin XL's or a split-head mattress to work with a split king foundation!
@@randomrazr No, after speaking with some friends who had the split and told us they always separate no matter how well they are pulled and tied together! The upside is you can adjust the left and right sides separately with a split. There is an extra cost to do so, and to be sure, we went to the store and checked out how a split king feels. We did not like it, so we purchased a full king. We would not use the split adjustment, and after checking it out, it felt odd sleeping next to an adjusted side, kind of like sleeping near a wall. Good luck.
We have had our split-king for 2 years w/ no problems but in the last 2 days there is a sporadic "clicking" noise underneath the bed when no one is trying to operate anything? Can anyone explain this?
What matters most for those of us who use vibration for pain relief is the length of time the vibration lasts? 🤔 After turning the vibration on, what is the time frame the vibration fully functions? 🤨 How many repeated and consecutive vibration sessions are subscribed as maximum time for vibration? 🤔 This is the information I most need on the top two Bases. Being able to use the vibration for 8-11 hours is my preference. As a Post Polio old woman, vibration is my chosen pain relief. However, it is needed every day and sometimes when I've done more than 'allowed' by my condition, I need a total of 10 hrs within a 12 hour period. It is better than mega pain pill usage. 🙃
great review, just wondering if the frames and motors are the same across the ergo collection, as far as construction and strength, how does the ease base compare?
I got mine over the weekend and just the basics works. Trying to hookup the speaker system and the lights underneath. Will need to find a diagram of how things hookup.
Great review. Thank you so much! One more question. You talk about zero clearance (can sit on a platform bed) but what about "wall hugging" or the ability when the head is up to still be able to reach things that might be on a side table? I saw this "feature" description on a few other platform bed frames (other vendors) and could not find any documentation on the Tempurpedic site about their frames.
My pleasure Claire! Unfortunately, Tempur doesn't offer a wall-hugger option in their line-up right now. Worse yet, this feature has really lost popularity amongst adjustable base makers in recent years because it makes the base harder to ship. So off the top of my head I can't think of any good options that have this feature. If you found one though, please let us know!
Is there a way to dim or turn off the LED lights on all of the under-bed motors and sensors? They seem to emit a lot of light in the dark of night. Thanks! This is beyond the LED strips on the edge of the under-bed and the logo at the end of the bed. Thanks!
odd question but for someone who suffers fomr tinnitus, would the top end base with subwoofers bea bad idea? or are the subwoofers for the massage aprt pretty quiet?
great explanation. I just got this base and after one day it's pretty cool. I haven't been able to link my sleep tracker account to the Alexa Skill and it appears its a know issue and has me thinking that it maybe no longer supported but not sure. I've reached out to support. I also have not been able to control the sub woofers left and right independently on the remote on our Queen size base. I like the massage more intense and my wife likes it mild. Anyone reading here know the solution or is this not possible
I was convinced the lower level would be fine for me after 3 days of research. Today (4th day) I find this video and like you I'm now convinced I need the mid or top level, too! Seriously - this video is FAR better than any of the materials on Tempurpedic's site!
None of these are the same as the Costco models. Can you please explain what would be the difference? Costco tends to have their own requirements to set themself apart but it may not always result in a better product. In this case, the Costco adjustable frame model has no USB ports, no lumbar support and no vibration options. Don’t know what other hidden differences it has and who knows what mattress you are really getting. Thanks
Is it possible to disconnect or turn off the smart features on the ergo smart? I really want this base for the foot only vibration and lumbar but don’t want to sleep on the wifi transmission all night.
I ended up going with the power base, based on your review and many others. Thank you. I have an off topic question. With the new mattress and base, I’m splurging on new pillows also. I’m mostly a stomach and back sleeper but preferably back when the pain allows. My neck hurts a lot. Could you recommend a great pillow I could try out? I know everyone is different but I have 0 expertise lol. Thank you! Those pillows in this video look great.
Hi there -- Sorry we missed this earlier. No, none of these have wall-hugger functionality. Sadly, this functionality is getting harder and harder to find, mainly because it makes it less easy to ship the base via UPS.
Unless you're talking about a partially split design, split King's generally function as two separate Twin XL's. So yes, these do exist and are relatively common. Most stores should have a unit or two on display for you to preview. I hope that's helpful.
Hi there -- It's possible that this may be available at some Ashley Furniture locations, but it won't be available at all of them. Tempur-Pedic has a list of all their dealers here: www.goodbed.com/o/z/1134/tempur-pedic-store-locator/ You can also cross-reference this by looking for special deals at nearby Tempur-Pedic retailers on our store locator: www.goodbed.com/mattress-stores/?m=m_tempur-pedic The other option is to purchase one of these directly from Tempur-Pedic. They offer free delivery and currently have some special offers listed on their website for these bases here: www.goodbed.com/o/z/1162/tempur-pedic-adjustable-bases/ I hope that's helpful.
Possibly if one person wants to use the lumbar support feature and the other does not? But otherwise it's hard to imagine any advantages. You should also make sure that using a split base doesn't violate the warranty on your chosen mattress. I hope that's helpful.
The most basic on the Ergo series doesn’t have lumbar support, does it? The remote that was the all the way to the left in the picture you showed. Where is the button for the lumbar support?
Yes, all 3 of the bases in the Ergo series have lumbar support. You can see it on the remote at 4:40 in the video. It's in the same place it is for the other two remotes.
Hi there -- Thanks for your question. I'm not aware of any way to upgrade a given base to a higher level of functionality. In most cases there are both hardware and software differences between the various models, so I doubt this would be possible.
When getting the top of the line Ergo ProSmart, do you get one remote or two? Seems like it would make sense to include two if each person on the bed has independent massage functions, right?
You'll receive two remotes if you order a split configuration. However, the Tempur-Pedic site does say that only one remote can be paired with non-split configurations. One workaround might be using the app in addition to the remote, but we haven't tested this.
@@goodbedI can confirm that you can use the app and remote control simultaneously. After our base was setup my wife and I put the remote in the drawer and primarily only use our phones to control the base.
All that and not one mention of smart home capability. Yeah the speaker thing is cool but as a consumer of these type of beds all I've wanted for many years is a hands-free option where I tell it what to do and don't have to search for a remote or my phone all the time.
What is the speaker configuration and how does the Bluetooth sound work in split setups? I would assume there'd be 1 bar and 2 woofers per side. Can a Bluetooth source utilize all speakers in a split setup, or is it one source per side? Also, do you know the watts and impedance of the speakers (and amplifier)?
Hi Thom -- Do you mean a split head design or two twin bases side by side? If the former, the speaker system would work the same as on a regular king base -- ie, everything is controlled centrally for the whole base. There may be a R-L balance but there is certainly not a way to play one thing on one side and something different on the other side. If the latter, I don't actually know if the speakers can be paired as part of the pairing of the bases themselves. My guess would be that they can be, but I would recommend confirming that with Tempur-Pedic. If you get an answer from them, please let us know.
@@goodbed I apologize for not being clear. Thank you for covering both scenarios to the best of your knowledge. I looked up the owners manual. It says that the sound can be synced between two bases, but it requires those bases to be synced, entirely. Meaning, the only way to have a split setup play sound from all available speakers is to effectively nullify the split setup and require their positions to be the same. I called them, and after sales transferred me to tech support they confirmed this. Seems like a miss to me. A big one. Thanks, again.
@@ThomMurphy Thanks so much for reporting back here what you learned about this. I agree that seems like an obvious opportunity for improvement, since many people would want synchronized sound but not synchronized elevation control. Perhaps this is something that could be addressed in a future firmware update.
Hey there! We'd recommend talking to the store you purchased from. There might be a malfunction in the motor that can be repaired or the base could be replaced entirely. Hope that helps.
Of all the reviews of these beds this is by far the best. Thanks!
