Can I safely use a 12 inch foam twin mattress with this?

There is only about 13 1/2 inches total from the slats where the mattress sits to the top of the highest board....so I would say a 12 inch mattress would not be safe. Our standard mattress is about 8 inches....I wouldn't go any thicker of a mattress than that.

If it's more than a couple of inches than a regular twin mattress, I don't recommend. Not sure I've ever measured an XL twin against a regular. Mine are regular and about an inch away from the edge. Hope that helps.

Yes, use no more than 8" mattress because you will also need a Bunkyboard underneath both the top and trundle. Need to also warn you that the middle trundle wheels have "buckled" or "bent" even though my grandkid's weights are under 100 lbs. I contacted the company and though they wrote they would rectify the situation, they never have.

I just used a regular twin size mattress from the twin bed we already had, and it works great - no issues.

I have this, and it is exactly 12 inches. So, maybe go with something a bit smaller.

Depends on how thick your mattress is...ours is 12" and it fits loose...but you can tuck the excess under...or encase your mattress and box spring together.

Sure you could use the memory foam mattress, but because you're not using a box spring I'd wonder if it would still be comfortable to sit/ sleep on? If I were you I'd simply go with a standard twin mattress.

I'm using a memory foam mattress with this bed. It has very durable flat railed bottom. You don't need a box spring, but I opted for a 4" low profile box spring. With my 12" mattress I have about 6" of brass showing at my feet.

You can, pretty much any foam mattress will work. I found that a thinner mattress is better. If you put the feet and the head up the area where your bum is gets a little squeezed with a very thick mattress. Mine is 8" but 10" should be good.

Yes. Any surface to place the 12" mattress on will work. I tried the mattress on the floor and the mattress felt fine. I had to return the mattress because the mattress was to firm for my small frame.

No. A traditional twin mattress fits perfectly. Anything larger will not fit into the frame

Yes, I purchased this item for a twin 12" mattress, and it fits absolutely perfectly.

My 7 year old uses this bed with a foam mattress and we have had no issues. Are you concerned about being able to feel the bars? because you can not.

Use an 8 inch minimum because of the wooden slots , A 10 inch wood be better.I would not recommend a foam mattress which is too soft, rather one with a sturdy filling.

This is a question best answered by the seller or manufacturer. I only have experience with a twin-sized bed.

We have a foam mattress right on the bed without any problems so far. I wouldnt think u would need one unless it was for an older child.
