A cheaper option is to move the attach points off your existing gas struts. When my wife added 3 in memory foam the bed became very difficult to lift, in fact it was so heavy it would not stay up by itself. I kept the same attachment on the bed and moved the attach point on the bed frame about 2 ins. fwd. I also reinforced the bed frame due to the added weight.
Free, easy, and requires no new parts. Gotta love it!
I'll be giving this a try. since I replaced our short queen mattress with a full length, thicker mattress, and extended the platform, the bed is very hard to lift and will not stay up.
