Dr. Kern - any input? - tanTALK

LeannaSue · 02-16-2011, 11:50 PM

Looking at purchasing a Dr. Kern bed. My other beds are ETS, and I don't know anything about Dr. Kern. Anyone have any thoughts on this brand?

Do a search. The ? has been asked before...but in a nutshell, beds run very hot. The side rails get hot to touch, not a comfortable bed to get in/out.

Many better options available

I have had 2 Dr Kern beds for years and have never had an overheating problem. Both of ours were flat bottom benches though so very easy in and out.

IMO, The Viva 4's are the only beds worth getting from Dr. Kern. But there are so many other choices out there used on the market that will outperform Dr. Kern.

Yeah, some the high end beds like the Viva 4 are good.
I would not recommend the Stretch 32.
