I have been looking for a basic queen size adjustable frame and this came across my radar tonight so I snatched one and thought I'd share since I didn't see it posted on SD. It retailed for $1349 (if you believe retail pricing) but sales were usually around $749.

I chatted with a Nectar rep who said that this model was from a 'retail partnership' and during the shutdown didn't sell well. I guess it's been this price since the July 4th sale. Now they are trying to clear inventory and only have Queen left.
.This is a basic adjustable frame, but has some higher-end features:
-built in massage
-two usb ports
-under bed lighting
-'zero-g' setting
-two 'favorites' buttons
-15 inch height means lots of under bed storage
-free shipping, 50-night trial with free returns, 3-year warranty
Chase cardholders may get 6% back if you use 'shop through chase' (helped me offset tax)

2) I don't know if I would feel comfortable jumping onto the bed full force, but I definitely haven't felt like I would break it at any point. It feels very well built. But... to be honest, being a bigger guy, I don't know of any bed I'd feel comfortable jumping on full force (as I've definitely broken some base boards!). I feel like this one is holding up very well and as long as I'm not a maniac, I think it'll hold up. I definitely feel more confident in this vs wooden baseboards.
3) I just plopped onto the bed right now and was squirming and shifting around aggressively. I don't hear anything squeaky. I do have this on a carpet. But at least from ~3 months of owning this, no concerns as of yet about it holding up. Perhaps someone else with a longer term of ownership could speak to this better.
Worth noting I was probably around 375 - 380 lbs. when I initially got the bed. Been losing weight. It has felt just as fine then as it does now.
The manual states 850 lbs limit "supported evenly between the head and foot sections". Here's the specifics direct from the manual on that: https://drive.google.co
Hope this helps!
The core of the frame works well.
The one thing I really, really dislike about it (almost to the point where I wanted to return it prior to the 50 days), is that there are no memory functions. You can't setup your own position and have it go back to it. You have to manually tweak it every time. And the pre-set positions don't work for me.
You'd think it's not a big deal, but if you find a perfectly comfortable position, it's such a pain to get it back to exactly where you like it. As a result, I've been using the adjustment functions less and less. Whereas if there was memory functions, I would use it more often.
Learned from a commenter that you can customize the two of the presets by overwriting the factory defaults. So that's pretty amazing. Learned something new here!
If you have a nightstand next to you and you intend to use it very often while you're propped up, just know that the bed frame moves you forward a whole lot. Don't even try for drinks! I usually need to twist and awkwardly shift to reach behind me to grab stuff on my nightstand. Not a deal breaker as I don't do it too often, but just useful info if you need to access to your nightstand or bed-side items (like a phone) frequently while the bed frame is elevated. Not having the memory functions makes this truly annoying.
There is no built in storage for the remote. I always have it sitting next to my pillow, but I've lost it and dropped it endless times. It's extremely annoying (but I'm a bigger guy). Would be nice if there was a built in place to put it. Putting it and retrieving it on a night stand is difficult (for the reasons above).
The massage functionality only lasts for 10 minutes. Would be nice if there was a timer or some sort of more advanced controls. It's nothing amazing. Just some vibration action near your back and butt (and you need to be at the middle of the mattress/frame to really feel the full impact). But there's around 8 - 10 different massage settings that impact the pulsing frequency.
Lastly, the mattress tends to slide around on this bed frame. I had it initially set in its highest position, and would frequently find my mattress hanging off the left or right side as I crawled up onto it. You want to make sure you have the frame/mattress sitting lower so you don't bump it around horizontally too much while getting into bed. If you have a lighter, less weighty mattress, I'd be a bit more concerned (because my mattress is already very heavy and still slides).

I don't know if they are still giving away the free bed-sheets set, but I do like those that came with it. Bit of an airy feeling to them, but I like that.
But yeah, if anyone has any questions about the bed frame or the Nectar Copper mattress on top of it, feel free to let me know (I'm 6'3" 350 lbs side sleeper).
Hope this clears some of the confusion some of us has.

The "creators of the water bed" did not invent the adjustable bed frame. Adjustable bed frames have been used in hospital settings for decades because they can provide a way for people to more comfortably sit up in bed, etc.
The "web tv" thing??

A few months later ended up changing my mind, so I kept it.

We broke down and built a bed frame out of wood, with hard points, etc. It's not the most attractive bed frame and it's a real bitch kicking a 4x4, or running your shin into the edge in the middle of the night when you get up to pee.
We've been thinking about the Thuma, but it's expensive for what you get, IMHO.
