With the 4 inch foam topper our struts are worthless. We use have to lift manually and brace with a 2x2.
Compounding our situation on weight is the fact that when we modified our queen base board for the king mattress, we had to screw another, slightly wider, 1/4 plywood sheet on top of the existing plywood base. Extra weight for this mod is not something I was crazy about, but well worth the benefits of the king bed with 4" foam. Best sleep ever.
Struts are a non-issue, however. Also, as we only use that area under the bed (w/ the false panel removed) for long term storage, we don't access that area more than 2-3 times all winter while we are here in FL.
