I have a platform bed with supporting slats but I'd like a foundation for this mattress do you have any you'd recommend?

We used this mattress with an existing bed frame from Ikea and it holds it up well. No issue with the wood slatted bed frame; however if the slats are too far apart, it might be an issue.

On a platform bed you would be fine without a box spring, but on a regular bed you need a support system (either a box spring or a slat platform). I would suggest something thick enough that your mattress is slightly above your bed rails to avoid busted knuckles when making up the bed!

Foam beds do not respond well to box springs over time. You can put the mattress on a foundation. A foundation looks exactly like a box spring, but it has no springs in it. The foundation will create a very rigid and firm support for the mattress.

If I understand your question correctly, the foundation would rest on the side rails that currently support your slats. Or, you could just rest this foundation on top of the 5 slats you currently have. I have a regular metal bed frame, which has side rails about 1 1/2" wide upon which the foundation rests. It is quite secure and fits well.

put a piece of plywood under it first. it's very cushy and might squish through the slats depending on the spacing. Mine is supported my a metal mesh net thing now, was directly on floor. comfortable both ways.

It would work without one on a platform bed ... but really it is designed to be used with a box spring or some kind of foundation . I have had it for almost a year .... used my old box spring that was fine and I am quite satisfied ... you need to use a mattress cover ... would recommend a thick one ... I use one that is thick and springy ... it works great ... the mattress itself is quite thick ... feels very firm at first but overtime softens up ... it was a great buy !

You don't have to use a box spring. You can use a platform of some sort to support it, or you can buy a foundation for it as I did for another mattress. There's a few ways to set it up so that it's right for you.

no, i really think you need the box springs for support. a great mattress, but it needs a foundation.

I just use it for the foam bed. No foundation because it will not raise or lower since most foundations are made of wood framing.

I'm not sure what kind of air mattress you're planning to use, but I would think a piece of plywood or similar would be more supportive for an air mattress to be placed on this platform bed.

It is critically important to use a good solid foundation, rather than a box spring with Memory foam mattresses. I've had a bedinabox mattress for 5 years. I love it, and i recently tried it on a box spring after another memory foam bed needed a foundation. Now this bedinabox mattress dumps me out of bed if I get near the edge, because the box spring sags when I do. Get the very good bedinabox oak foundation...

I got only the mattress, and I don't think you will need a base. It's really thick and I have it on a platform bed. Works just fine. Hmm.. I am guessing, though, you might need something more than just the metal frame. You need something solid supporting the mattress like slats or a solid board.

I am using a platform. I had a platform bed with drawers under that I had an I am still using it. Works great and love my Brentwood 10" HD Memory foam mattress.

Our mattresses only require a flat and secure foundation. This includes a traditional box spring, a slatted bed frame, or even the floor-just as long as the resting area is flat and secure.

Get any platform frame to rest the mattress directly on the frame. You don't need a box mattress.

When I bought this mattress I also bought Sleep Master Platform Metal Bed Frame/Mattress Foundation, Queen. This provides a nice foundation for the mattress, the mattress and frame are very light and easy to move, and there is storage space underneath the frame. If you have a standard frame built to take a box spring then you made need a box spring or lay some plywood on the frame first. But I just went for the mattress/Sleep Master frame combo. For $400 what the heck. I'm very happy with it.

Nanette: In my case this was a replacement mattress for my Queen platform bed. It has a series of slats as a foundation which works beautifully.
