Yep! I think I like my way a lot better! Not as scientific or time consuming but it gets you there. My thought on this formula and that calculator are what they mean by "support" the mattress? To me there's a lot of difference between having to pull that mattress up and then the strut barely holds it vs the strut pushing the mattress up then firmly holding it in the elevated position. DW won't even think about messing with one you have to fight to pull up then when it's up it barely holds feeling like it may drop at any moment. That was exactly the case when I ended up with that spare set of struts I mentioned. Now it takes more effort to get the struts to start to compress than it does to pop the mattress up.
