Would a steel frame/foundation fit well within the bed, in place of slats?

The measurements inside the wood sides and ends are roughly (cat was *helping* me) 78" x 81"...you'd have to check the measurements of your frame. (If you need more exact than that, just ask and I'll toss the cat in the bathroom.) There is a support down the center which supports the original wood slats and may or may not help the bed stay true, but I suspect not. My mattress which is a deep queen butts right up against the wooden sides.

Well, I don't have any slats, just the box spring and mattress sitting on this support so I wouldn't think it would be a problem.

The platform bed works in place of your box springs and slats are not needed. If you currently have a bed frame, like a sleigh bed or something similar, and you need to be sure that this platform will fit inside the bed frame, you should measure very carefully. We did not have a bed frame so it was not an issue for us.

Love this bed! We used a boxspring with our memory foam mattress and the support was very good, the slats are too far apart for just the memory foam mattress, you could use plywood as a base.

Yes. The top part is all foam (various types and density memory foam) parts so you will need a solid foundation for it to set on. Slats or spring foundations will not work properly. The foundation needs to be one continuous (or multiple pieces side-by-side) solid platform. We are using two solid, full size platforms for our King size mattress.

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.

I have installed my mattress onto an existing steel frame.To insure adequate support I installed 2 pieces of 3/4 inch plywood cut to size( sanded one side or padded with an old blanket).Be sure to check for sharp edges on the steel frame and tape or pad to prevent cutting. The idea here is to provide support for the mattress along its whole bottom surface; I would assume wood slats, with proper padding, would work also but you would have to install a lot of them.

Yes...being used on a full/queen frame with a full size foundation. Works perfectly

Hi Helen, Yes, this will work for you, as long as it is a solid base. If you do have a slatted bed frame it may not work, depending on the width of the gaps in the slats. We do have a 30 day return period if you find it does not fit your needs. Thank you for your interest -Kathy eLuxurySupply Customer Service

If the slats are closely placed it shouldn't be a problem-if they're more than a few inches apart I'd get a piece of plywood or other foundation to lay over them.

Yes, you can. I actually got the bed frame from Ikea, and with the slatted bed base, it worked just fine.

I currently have mine on a storage foundation from Ikea that uses slats. As long as the slats aren't far apart on the platform bed, this mattress should be fine.

I purchased the double bed, so I can only speak to that one. It came with slats and a middle support for the double, so I should think that the larger sizes would have the support as well, and probably also the slats. We are happy with the bed. It's simple, and for the price, no complaints. It looks nice, and doesn't take up too much room in the tiny bedroom where it is located.

I have a sleigh bed also and was concerned that it would work within the headboard, footboard and thick side rails. Mine also has three wooden slats to support the box spring. It worked fine with mine because you adjust it as you put it together. It's very sturdy.

I have 2 of these (one king, one queen) and while I'm terribly happy with it, I wouldn't consider using it without a frame.You can pick up an inexpensive metal frame at Sams Club or Wal Mart for around $30. The foundation really needs support along the edges. You could probably make something sturdy enough with dimensional lumber but by the time you got done, you'd be pretty close to the same price as the metal frame.

Yeah the frame has complete supports across it. But I'm sure the edges will stick out if your ok with that. I believe this bed came in a full too.

the top of this bed frame has slats on top as well, but I think that it would be fine. If you put this frame together correctly, you will love it. I had a boxspring that was really creaky and noisy--not any more. this frame is very sturdy and quiet...
