I just bought a 4"memory foam mattress, 4lb. I was looking to give it a base for added support. Would this be good for that/

Not sure what you mean about a base. I bought a 5" and a 3" mattress to use in a trundle bed. It fits perfectly and is very comfortable. The trundle bed is like a box.

This is just a bed frame and does not include a mattress. The slats would be suitable for supporting a memory foam mattress, but the bed would sit pretty low, so expect to use lifters if you want the bed to sit higher.

If you are comfortable on a slightly more than medium firmness inner spring, than my guess is the memory form should be fine. Go try a med firm memory foam at a mattress store, it's a free way to see it you would even like foam mattresses. We like ours...

Hello Jerold, I purchased this bed & I love it. It supports my back tremendously. I have mild athritis & it helps relieve all my neck & back pains. I am pretty sure this memory foam mattress will withstand any weight since it's flexibly cushiony that sinks to ur shape & weight. It has no weight limits as long as u aren't rough in bed if u know what I mean lol jk It's an amazing comfortable bed for any shape size or weight. Hope u enjoy this bed. Best wishes, CC

I've tried this out on a hard floor; it's definitely not an adequate mattress by itself. I think 8 inches is about the minimum thickness for a memory foam mattress. IMO, the minimum density for a stand-alone mattress should be 5lb/cu.ft. I think this product is 3lb/cu.ft. The lower density means a shorter life-span and a softer feel. IMO, the perfect memory foam bed consists of an 8 inch thick 5lb/cu.ft. density base with a 3 inch thick 3lb/cu.ft. top. If I may recommend a topper... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000A8BUB0 Good luck!

it may help some ,however it sounds like you may need to do something about your support or frame, rails ,and possibly turn you mattress and then use the topper you may be surprised ! nothing like good support, and a good nights sleep ! I love my memory foam mattress but I had to do some adjusting on my rails and then it was right ! Good luck hope this helps !

It will help but you might need to get a 4 inch to do the job. I had the problem but I was adding soft to fairly soft. If you are just wanting extra to make your comfort tweeked get this one

We have a queen size foundation and frame. This center support is adjustable for either. We actually used it to extend support on the end of the bed since the frame was short. The light mattress & foundation would tilt up when you sat on the end. This center support for our particular need was not used in the center. It is attached to the end cross frame by threaded rods and screwed to the wood end of the bed foundation. For that it worked fine!

Yes, this will work well with a foam mattress, I bought this in combination with a Sleep Innovations 12 inch memory foam mattress and there is no support issue, the supports are not slats, but more of a grid pattern that leaves no room for sagging.

I did so with the memory foam mattress I purchased for my daughter's bed without problem. Mine is on a platform foundation. Realize that the box spring configuration is less firm. I have no idea about the long term effects of putting one on a box spring. My daughter loves hers.

I personally spoke with the manufacturer in Arizona about what is needed for support for their memory foam mattress. Nothing special is needed ! He suggested to me that I purchase any box spring that is well made, in other words won't squeak, and that would be adequate. In fact, if one wanted to, the mattress could be placed on a well constructed wood platform, or even on the floor itself. Of course, the floor would make it difficult to get on and off the mattress but the support would be just fine. I purchased an inexpensive, Queen size, Arkansas mfg. box spring. It cost about $100.00. It is giving all the support the mattress needs. If the box spring lasts only five years, won't bother me. . . .I'll just purchase another for $100 or so. Larry

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.

Yes, it is firm and supportive. It should be perfect as long as your mattress isn't super plush and doesn't sink in already.

I would guess, based on how difficult it is to "bend" this mattress, that it wouldn't work well on an adjustable bed. But to find out for sure, I recommend talking to the adjustable bed manufacturer to see if their product will work with a memory foam mattress. Getting this thing back into a box to return it would be a nightmare so finding out before hand is advisable.

for me, it give ample support . it does not collapse much because of the inner removable dense memory foam core. (make sure to break it up before inserting. it comes packed tight like a brick and requires fluffing)

The support depends on your actual mattress. This is just for extra comfort in top of a regular mattress. We have ours on top of a very firm mattress for a little bit of squishy comfort.

Sorry but you can't add firmness to a memory foam bed by adding this on top. You could add a piece of plywood underneath to see if that might help.
