Leggett & Platt Falcon Adjustable Base Review

The Leggett & Platt Falcon is almost a perfect adjustable base. The price point is low and the features are high. Leggett & Platt have designed a base that is going to be very hard to beat. 

FRAME

The frame of the Falcon has been compressed to a 2” profile foundation. The frame can now be easily placed into your standard size bed frame. The weight capacity on the falcon is 800lbs, significantly higher than many other frames in this price point. 

MICROHOOK RETENTION SYSTEM

The Leggett & Platt Falcon adjustable base has been outfitted with their new MircoHook Retention system that helps keep your mattress in place without the use of a retention bar. Two bands of velcro like material attach to the mattress and keep it from sliding around during adjustment. If you choose to use a bed skirt with your base you will cover up the retention strips and need to use a retention bar. Fortunately, it's included with your base.

FEATURES

The wireless remote that is included gives you the ability to raise and lower the bed into positions that you choose. The fabric that the frame is encased in, is a contemporary gray color. Making it an easy piece to blend in with decorating plans. The incredibly quiet motor allows you to move the bed without waking up the entire house. 

Leggett & Platt are giving you a big bang for your buck with the Falcon adjustable base. You are going to have a hard time finding another base at the price with the same level of quality and features.

Ease Adjustable Base BySealy Versus Falcon Adjustable Base By Leggett & Platt

When comparing adjustable bases Leggett & Platt’s Falcon and the Sealy Ease go toe-to-toe pretty easily. Upon first inspection there are a few subtle differences. Leggett & Platt is missing the retention bar thanks to their new MicroHook retention system. This makes the bar of the Sealy Ease stand out a lot more. Leggett & Platt include a bar, but using it is optional.

The second observation most likely is going to be size. The Sealy Ease has a 4” platform, which will make it a bit more visible when it is put in a bed frame. Leggett & Platt’s Falcon has a compressed frame that has been pushed down to 2”. This will be visible but it is almost out of sight when paired with a bed frame. If visibility is a concern Leggett & Platt would get the points over the Sealy Ease.

Both come with wireless remotes that include multiple features. The Ease pulls ahead on this one by including a one touch flat option. This will make getting the bed back to a standard position, not necessarily quick, but easier. Sealy’s Ease also has the option of including a 9-volt battery, at an extra cost. Paired with the one touch flat option, getting the bed flat during a power outage would be possible. Leggett & Platt do not have either one of these features which gives Sealy’s East the advantage here.

Leggett & Platt fight back with the weight limit. Their limit goes all the way up to 800lbs where the Ease taps out at 650lbs. That is a significant difference when you consider the idea of kids jumping into the bed too. Leggett & Platt have also made their newest frame 30lbs lighter than the typical adjustable base.

Finally, we look at the paperwork. The warranties are quite comparable, so it would come down to what you personally would feel is more important. Sealy has better coverage on the parts, while Leggett & Platt have better coverage on the frame. Both have long warranties that are going to cover the bases for many years. Both are designed, engineered and assembled in America. At the moment the Ease is slightly cheaper in overall price.

As with most things, at the end of the day it is going to come down to personal preference and what your needs really are. If you are concerned about weight limit, then the Falcon is going to be a clear winner. If you want as many features as you can get, the Ease might be the way to go, but only slightly.

The best part of these two adjustable bases is that Sealy and Leggett & Platt are both offering adjustable bed bases with some high-end features at a price many people will be able to afford.

E3 Adjustable Base By Reverie Versus Falcon Adjustable Base By Leggett & Platt

The Reverie is the proud winner of the Women’s Choice Award. Their 3E adjustable base looks to carry on that award winning tradition. Although, contender has now hopped into the ring. Leggett & Platt have just released the Falcon adjustable base. It is in the same price bracket as the 3E, comes in the same sizes and also has multiple features. Can Reverie hold the crown or will they have to hand it over to Leggett & Platt?

The obvious comparison would be to line up the features. Right off the bat the price is close but Leggett & Platt are going to pull this category. The Falcon queen size adjustable base is $799 while the 3E sits at $899.

The remote on the 3E is wired to the bed. This could be a convenience because you will never lose it, but it also limits where you can put it, or who can use it. The Falcon features a wireless remote control. The 3E has Head/Foot rest control and a one touch flat button on the remote. The Falcon has the same options but is missing the one touch flat button.

Leggett & Platt have an 800lb weight limit on the Falcon, but the 3E can go up to 850lbs. The Falcon’s steel frame is 30lbs lighter than most adjustable base frames and is made from compressed steel. The 3E is made of proprietary steel, but does not advertise a weight.

Both adjustable bases have high performance quiet motors and both have hefty warranties backing each base. Leggett & Platt decided to ditch the retention bar (but still include it) for a microhook system. Two strips of velcro like material are on the base to secure the mattress in place. The E3 still requires the use of a retention bar and it isn’t optional.

The comparisons of the two adjustable bed bases are very close in a lot of features. Considering that Leggett and Platt sits at lower cost, it seems that their more current convenience features may win out in this battle.
