Facts & Research
The message from Leggett & Platt to retail professionals is as simple as agreeing with your customers. A steel foundation is a preferred foundation, a superior way to manufacture a bedding set.
Your own experience is evidence enough, but you’ll want to know that this "popular opinion" has science to back it up.
Take a look at this video, showing a recent stress test. It involved dropping 175 pounds – the weight of an average person – onto standard wood slats, and then onto steel modules.
That failure in the wood slats, from only two inches above, has a label in standard testing terminology. It’s called "catastrophic failure."
Your customers want value and comfort from someone they trust. They don’t want catastrophic failure or years of squeaky, sleepless nights.
