I'm having trouble finding a "cut-away" pic online; maybe they are private about that detail. Here's a small blowup of the parts that surround the actual air bladders (plural if you get 2 separately controlled one, for his-and-her). The air bladders are the 3rd layer down. Below that, the next layer is the outer foam bumpers, and the last is solid. PLUS the cloth zip shell to make it look like a mattress.
They require a firm foundation - one pic showed "bunky board" things underneath. I've used them in 2 different waterbed frames, since I liked my furniture, and it provided the required firm base. But check measurements, cuz waterbed "Q" isn't the same as regular.

I'll definitely look into it, BadGood, thanks! That--something where we could each adjust the bed--would be fantastic. I've looked at that one line, of course--the Temperapedic or Whatever-magic or whatever--that costs the earth, and if I have to spend it, I will--we're lucky that way--but I'd rather not, if I don't have to (cheap old cow). I honestly don't mind spending when it's needed, but there are some areas where I wonder if I'm being gouged just because they can.
We have had a platform bed for...hell, nearly 40 years. I dont' know if this line would need a new bed, but heck, I haven't replaced the bedroom furniture in 100 million years either. Whole new look, eh, and a good back. That would be nice.
Thanks, BadGood! I really
do appreciate it.
