Bed Struts
Our Voltage V 3105 came with Master Lift ML 34-150 gas struts to hold the bedroom bed up. 20" with 150 LBs of lift.
I replaced the undersized bed platform with new plywood that runs end to end under the mattress. I also went up in thickness just a bit, so the plywood is heavier.
We replaced the awful cheap mattress with a sleep number bed. Love the new mattress and not having the mattress sag on the wife's side as the platform was too short.
The challenge is now the gas struts won't hold up the new platform and mattress. I can't seem to find a stronger gas strut in 20" length than the stock 150 LB. 160 LBs seems to be the max, and one would have to go to 27".
Has anyone encountered this situation, and found a solution?
