I'm confused about a foundation for this mattress. I have a box spring now. Does it need to be modified for this mattress?

We have had ours sitting on a box spring for the past year and it's been great.

You can use your foundation, if it is good and solid. If it is really like the old box with springs in it, you may want to get a sheet of plywood to put on top of it and then put the mattress on it. If it is the box foundation that does not have springs you probably would not need the plywood. As long as your foundation is solid you do not need to get a separate foundation.

It needs a foundation. I put it in a RV with a platform and didn't need a boxspring. If you use it on a regular bedframe you will need a boxspring.

I previously had a foam mattress and the regular box spring DID NOT support it. I bought a slated platform bed frame and am so happy I did. I made a world of difference in the support. Get a good platform bed frame... all are not equal. It creates a nice storage area for roll out storage bins and I am very happy with my mattress and the bed frame set now.

I have a 16" thick mattress, don't know the box spring thickness, and it comes to the top of the footboard and looks ok. I would think you would want a box spring as this frame sits fairly low to the floor. Hope this helps.

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

No! I have a really thick memory foam mattress on mine and it fits perfectly. No box spring needed!

I don't have a box spring. I just have the mattress on a platform bed. I don't have any problems, it's a heavy mattress and so comfortable!

Yes, unless you have a bed frame that does not require a foundation or a boxsprings. For example, if you have a daybed that springs are build into the frame you will not need boxsprings or the foundation.

The person that suggested this foundation to me for my memory foam mattress just sat the frame on the floor and used it that way. I am using a wood Bed frame with headboard.

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...

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.

You can use the foam mattress. But if by "foundation" you mean a box spring, you do not need this because the bed acts as its own foundation and a rigid box spring would prevent the mattress from flexing and defeat the purpose of this bed's adjustability.

You do not use a box spring with this bed. It would make the mattress too high. There are round metal rods that support the mattress. You need a mattress and that is it. I did place a thin board atop the metal rods to keep the shape of the mattress, but the board is not necessary.

We do not recommend you place this mattress on top of an existing mattress. However we do recommend using either a platform base, box springs, metal bed base or an adjustable bed base to support the mattress. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Foam mattresses don't use box springs. You will need a frame or a support system.. We used a sheet of heavy plywood In our bed frame. It was cheap and works great. Hope this helps!

I use it on a foundation. It's absolutely fine. I don't think you need a box spring, actually. One of the many great things about it! It's truly an amazing mattress. I have a friend who bought a similar Sealy foam mattress for $3,000 (he didn't believe that a mattress for $189 would be good) and this matress is just as good as his--I swear. I don't have a single complaint about it.

When i got this mattress I put it on my old boxspring and found myself waking up extemely sore. After doing some research, I learned that this type of mattress needs to have a solid, flat support. Instead of spending the money on a platform frame, I just ran down to Home Depot and bought a properly sized piece of plywood and threw it on top of the boxspring. After doing this, the comfort level improved immensely.
