does the mattress sti on metal springs or a sheet of plywood

The mini crib does not have the same support system of metal springs like its full sized sibling. The mattress will sit on a plywood board. My daughter is big for her age and very rambunctious and often will jump herself to sleep for naps. The mini crib works well even though I was hesitant on the wood base. We use it over at my mom's house so its not her primary bed. Works well without complaints or issues 2 years now.

Just the springs are metal. If you leave the Scoop outside they do rust eventually but last for years. Mine was in the weather for many years before they rusted and broke but would have lasted longer if I kept it indoors. I immediately bought another Scoop as it is such a good product.

We have a plywood foundation the mattress is on in our trailer. We still love sleeping on it the best mattress we ever bought.

Box springs makes yur matress last long. But with the slats you dont 'need' one. They work like wooded slats but all metal

Put it on a plywood base over the box spring. But don't buy a linen spa mattress - they DO NOT honor the warranty policy. They will state that the box spring voids the warranty. So buyer beware. Buy a sleep innovation or other brand

No this actually has a solid sheet under the mattress. It is 3 pieces of plywood that sports it complete.

Neither. Both sections are pretty stable and the weight of the mattress holds them in place.

I don't know. We kept our box springs and put plywood between them and new mattress. Sorry

I believe it just refers to the metal frame the mattress goes on. It suspends the mattress off the floor so that there is space underneath.

There are no springs inside. It is an air mattress with flocking on top. It was made to go on top of a hide-a-bed mattress.

The rails are metal and the hinges (for lack of a better word) are plastic. The material that slides under the mattress is a canvas ribbon. Hope this helps!

yes i bought one for my grandson along with a metal frame (not the typical type) and all you have to do is put the frame together and if you choose, add a bed skirt and then just put the mattress on top. the frame acts like the box spring in that set up. hope this helps

It is all metal and very strong. I would have no qualms about putting a football player on it. I do have a bunkie board between the metal slats and the mattress. Guests talk about how comfortable it is.

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.

I did not put plywood on top of the slats. I got a good mattress and the bed is really comfortable. Since the closely spaced wooden slats are essentially the same as having plywood, I don't think another 1/2 inch of wood would do anything. This bed frame is not meant to have box springs. I've been very happy with the bed frame.

I think it would work with either. I got a metal frame and just put it on top of that -- seems to work well. A fairly decent mattress for the price.

I purchased both a mattress and box spring. I would recommend both..as the frame is metal and a box spring would help reduce mattress sag over time.
