what matress do you recommend? spring or memory foam?

Memory foam. With the quality of bed that King's puts out you need to supplement that with a good mattress.

I couldn't imagine that a memory foam mattress would hold up enough on the planks alone unless you used a box spring underneath. My boys are on spring mattresses and the have held up.

Think thin. You need a bunky board underneath the mattress and if the mattress is too thick it will be above the rail and therefore unsafe.

I have a toddler and a preschooler that are using these beds, we went with the most inexpensive spring mattress that they had at the store.

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...

Yes, I bought a memory foam mattress from Costco, it's a perfect fit! I have had it for about a month now. Also, I have carpet in my bedroom.

I don't know. A standard spring mattress with a pillow-top mattress is probably lighter in weight and easier to move. A mattress that is completely foam is really heavy, and may retain body heat causing the sleeper to over heat in warm/hot weather. One possible advantage of a foam mattress could be if the pillow-top is not thick enough nor supportive, it may not offer sufficient pressure point relief.

I always use a box spring with my beds. Also, you would need to order a frame....this is only the headboard. I have a regular mattress and box spring on my beds. Not sure about the memory foam mattresses.

We have a Ashley Sleep New Castle Beach gel memory foam. It's about 12 inches thick and works well.

I've only had experience with the memory foam matress topper. But........our experience has been great with them.

I used it for 3 months till now. It works perfect for me because I like spring mattress better than foam. If i sleep on a foam, my back pains... Hope it helps you~

We bought the foam mattress and returned it. It was loud! We spent the few extra bucks and bought the inner spring mattress and our baby sleeps in it with no problems.

God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam. Only one person mentioned that the mattress was very firm and that was unfortunately after I purchased it. Damn thing kept getting harder, and I kept buying more foam toppers for comfort. Fortunately, my mom needed a new mattress and she has to have very firm. I gave her the hard 11" and ordered an 8" pressure relief memory foam and I love it. Feels so good to sleep on my side and not wake up hurting! So forget trying to "fix" that hard mattress and just get another one. You will quickly forget about the money you threw away! God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam.

It's excellent. I am enjoying medium feel foam mattress. It will shape with your body. Lucid is recommended by me.

thanks a bunch for your reply. I think i'm going to get the bed frame along with a thicker memory foam mattress.

No comparison, memory foam vs an air mattress. Its a wonderful bed that's conforming yet firm. My back and neck felt tons better after one night.

Memory foam springs back after being compressed...this item does that, so I would have to say its memory foam. Sure is comfortable!

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.

The difference between a spring mattress and a memory foam mattress is that a foam form to your body and a spring mattress don't have that ability to form to your body. 2 you don't need a box spring to sleep on a memory form mattress all you need is a frame that is for a memory form mattress but it is up to you if you want a box spring. I like it because it is comfortable to sleep on.

M. Davidson - thanks for your reply. I am also considering the Naturepedic Organic 150 mattress and glad to hear it fits well.
