Hi all,
We have an ottoman superking bed frame that is lifted from the end of the bed by 4 gas struts rated at 800N each. This was fine with our old mattress (40kg), but we've just taken delivery of a new mattress that comes in at 80kg and the existing struts/mechanism can't lift the mattress without a lot of effort.
Is it just a case of replacing the existing struts with stronger ones (say 1200N) or is a new mechanism required too? I'm happy to fit any new parts and even strengthen the base where the mechanism is attached, I just need to know what to buy.
Any help appreciated and happy new year!
