The mini crib does not have the same support system of metal springs like its full sized sibling. The mattress will sit on a plywood board. My daughter is big for her age and very rambunctious and often will jump herself to sleep for naps. The mini crib works well even though I was hesitant on the wood base. We use it over at my mom's house so its not her primary bed. Works well without complaints or issues 2 years now.

It has a box spring and mattress. I actually opted not to put them on the metal frame because the sit so high. I'm fairly short about 5' 1" and it sits at the perfect height without it. When it arrives, it looks like a mistake lol but I love my bed. Firm but comfortable.

No plywood in this. However it's not a bad idea to throw a piece on top if you are going to be using a memory foam mattress with it.

There are wood slats. It does not have a solid wood platform. But overall it feels more solid than the metal frame

mt, This Serta mattress is a hybrid -- coil springs, gel and foam. Because of the foam, it does get very warm and back support could be better.

No. I bought one of the metal frames and set it on that. Seems to me that box springs are an outdated concept.

Yes, I always like to put something between the metal and the mattress. I used one of the thin pieces of foam. Works great.

the mattress is heavy and it will not slide off of your box spring, as long as you dont have plastic on your box springs !

It is all metal and very strong. I would have no qualms about putting a football player on it. I do have a bunkie board between the metal slats and the mattress. Guests talk about how comfortable it is.

They are aluminum just like the rest of the frame held together with plastic interlocking clasps. I have a single spring mattress on them and so far it has been a comfortable sleep.

No springs. Those are "structural air pockets" which allow the air mattress to better support and distribute weight better than just a simple empty air bladder.

The box spring is a metal frame, a little challening to get the cover and open , yes we buy the basic metal frame the mattress was shrinked wrapped so be ready whe you open it. Like have room to get out of the way as it expands. All that said it is very comfortable and would recommend. It was just something we had never seen before. Very cleaver engineering. Just read the instructions thorougly.

We put a sheet of plywood over our existing box springs and it's worked beautifully. You definitely need to support the mattress.

Unless there is some big difference with a CA king size, I wound say right in the metal is fine... we have a queen and absolutely don't need plywood. Just my opinion, hope it helps.

There are springs. It is used nightly as a bed by my teeage son. About 9 months ago we added a foam topper because he was feeling the springs. I would not want to sleep on it daily but cant get him to change.

It is a foam core with a permanent cover over it. I cut mine down further a my application needed a weird shape. There were no springs. i an very happy with it. Much more comfortable than a standard camper mattress.

don't know doris but i would not try it as metal plus body weight might cause a rupture in the mattress...thom
