Yes and yes very sturdy. My 200lbs brother lays on the toddler bed sometimes when he wants to be funny and lazy and its held up nicely, no loose screws.

It is much sturdier than you would imagine. I have laid on the bed myself with my daughter (about 200 total lbs) and there was no creaking or signs of stress. The bed is a good buy. We have had it now for about 6 months. The wood foundation is solid pieces of wood. Not particle board. Also, it is a lot of pieces so there are no sink ins or stress on the tablets.

Not at all in fact it's a very solid frame . Everyone who sleeps on it loves it . I did a lot of research before I purchased this one . I did throw a foam topper on it for extra comfort for weight ! Although not needed .

I use a frame for it. But I do not think it is necessary to add on a foundation. The bottom of this mattress is quite firm, and the top is comfortable-soft.

A good base maybe sinc it is very thick & heavy. By base, i mean it should be something sturdy enough to hold the weight of both the mattress and the person using it. CBag is right, platform frame or slats are good options.

Its sturdy ,you can add a block of wood underneath for support. Place in the center should not be visible.

No the wooden slats that come from the bed are sufficient enough. In fact if u use a box spring then the mattress will be too high.

yes! It is well engineered and easy to assemble. I did add a plywood / fiberboard base under each the mattress.

It is wood and sturdy with the bracing of the frame, I weigh 300lbs, and have used this bed for over a year, 4 nights a week on average. It is very comfortable and well worth the money. Be careful folding it up as there are pinch points and one of the braces bent right away due to folding it wrong the first time. The mattress is very comfortable for only six inches thick.

There was no wood in the one I bought. It is a metal frame with a cloth cover. It comes folded in half, and I took it out of the box, unfolded it straight and flat, and it it supports a memory foam mattress very well with no sagging. It was lighter and easier to handle in queen size then my old wood frame queen box spring. It took less than five minutes to open the box, unfold it, and set it on the bed frame. No assembly at all other than maybe zipping the cloth cover.

We just purchased a metal frame for it and seems to work fine. However, it would be nice if the mattress had more support around the edges.

No, Mine is very sturdy, and because the frame is a few inches longer than some, there is no tipping when you sit on the edge of the mattress either.

No, the mattress is pretty thick and very firm. Not meant to be folded. But boy is that mattress awesome!

Nope you should be fine it is fairly smooth and def sturdy enough. You could always lay something down on top of frame such as piece of plywood then soft sheet or blanket over that then air mattress on top and you def would have no problems. I've seen then cheaper less sturdier frame in person, make sure you get this one the sleep master elite IMO.

It is firm. I'd say yes it is from enough to sleep on. It's not a soft mushy mattress like you see in stores sometimes.

it appears to be firm enough, but no guarantee over time. I put ours in our RV so it is completely supported underneath. I will say it provides for an amazing nights sleep, it is a great mattress.

No. It lies flat on the mattress and needs a "fitted sheet type of bedding item to hold everything together. I wanted a softer surface to accommodate an old back injury and it did the job. KRJ

It's shipped with three wood slats that screw in place and each slat has a support leg in the center. Just the three slats probably isn't enough support for a mattress without a box spring, but the lip that the supplied slats rest on runs the entire length on both sides of the frame, so you could easily throw some more slats in there (or a sheet of plywood) for more support.
