Can I place this under my mattress? Do not have a box spring and desperately need support for my chronic back pain.

Absolutely. I also use this under the mattress of my sofa bed and it works fine.

Yes, they were made to be put under the mattress and this is where I have put mine.

I would NOT use this as a mattress support, you would be better off getting a piece of plywood if you need firm support... This is made of cardboard and is not very well made to support a folding bed like I had wanted. If I had realized this was cardboard I wold not have spent the money on it...

It's made for a box spring and mattress, but you could use any type of platform under your mattress. Just be aware that if your platform and mattress will be substantially lower than a regular box spring and mattress would be that you should contact us at 1-866-753-8001 so we can adjust some of the measurements to fit your needs. Since our beds are custom built, making a few adjustments is normally not a big deal.

Yes you can use a regular mattress and absolutely no box spring necessary. I use a 12 inch foam mattress from Costco and its the best sleep I've had. Save yourself a lot of money.

In theory, yes, it should just fit under the mattress. In practice, it didn't work at all for me, not sturdy enough.

You can certainly position the Genie under the pillows if you wish but I do not think the support you get is as even and smooth as it is when it is under the mattress. Try it that way and see what works for you.

NO!!! My mattress seats on spring straps. It is a hospital bed. You do not a box spring to use the mattress as long there I something for it rest on. I hope this helps.

You would not use a box spring with this bed - and it is quite firm as it is without it. The height under the bed from the floor to mattress is 10" (we are on a carpeted floor so it may be 1/2 inch more on hardwood). Not sure if you are looking for under-bed storage, but there are support bars and posts in the center of the bed, so you would deduct another inch at the center.

The bed frame don't have the support to hold a box spring so the box spring will move a around on you when you lay it on the frame. So my opinion would be just to uses it with just a mattress. But I love the bed frame.

Thanks for your interest in the bed. This is a platform bed so the mattress just sits on a platform. If you put a box spring under the mattress you would be too high. You could possibly remove the platform and set the box spring down into the frame but I cannot say for sure as I don't have one to look at in person.ThanksRussell WestWest Furnishings

Yes, you need a box spring to accompany your mattress. Have no idea about the weight capacity, however, this is a standard queen size bed. Best wishes.

I think there would need to be some kind of firm foundation under the mattress. Bed slats or something like that would not work.

No you cant! Plus its very thin, and not well padded!You will need a mattress pad for underneath!

Yes you do and I recommend this one I got off of Amazon: Night Therapy Platform Metal Bed Frame/Foundation Set(SmartBase + Metal Brackets for Headboard & Footboard + Bed Skirt - Queen) - No Box Spring needed . It is one amazing frame support for under the bed. I ordered that and put mattress that I also ordered from Amazon on it and it is great.

Box spring is not required. You can use a box spring if you feel that the mattress is too low from the ground.

That should work, although this mattress doesn't need the box springs. A platform, such as plywood, works fine.

No. I have the same model and i only have my mattress on it. The metal slats give great support. But if you want a little height, use a box spring or I used bed risers to have storage under the bed.

I don't have a twin, I have a Queen but yes, you will need a box spring. Otherwise the mattress will sit much too low.
