I have a queen iron bed, with 1 center support . Does this mattress works well with this kind of metal bed? Does it stays firm with only 8"?

The mattress needs to rest on a bunkie board (slats). I don't think one central support will do.

We just purchased a metal frame for it and seems to work fine. However, it would be nice if the mattress had more support around the edges.

I would use the thinnest mattress you can. I have an 8" Bed in a Box. Thicker mattresses will work but don't bend as easily. If you like your feet pretty high you can feel sort of jammed in the bend. There is a retainer bar at the foot to keep the mattress from sliding down.

we put one of these (queen size) in our bed that was in our travel trailer and it made a HUGE difference. We also put one on our pull out sofa and did wonders padding the springs and steel support bars. You can still feel the support bars a little but it did make a big improvement.

I have this mattress on a metal platform instead of boxspring and it works fine. Keep in mind this mattress is REALLY heavy :(

I don't quite understand what you have. My mattress is older (8" from the box springs) and it worked well for me. I did a lot of measuring before I ordered it trying to figure out if it would work and in the end, just took a leap of faith that worked for me.

I had similar issues with my roomy. I finally just bought it for the King bed and now he really likes it. I wouldn't want the drop off between us if only covering 1/2 of bed. Can't answer if it would shift. JUST BUY IT! Only 2-1/2 inches but makes a world of difference if bed is too firm. Not good for soft mattress.

We have a queen size foundation and frame. This center support is adjustable for either. We actually used it to extend support on the end of the bed since the frame was short. The light mattress & foundation would tilt up when you sat on the end. This center support for our particular need was not used in the center. It is attached to the end cross frame by threaded rods and screwed to the wood end of the bed foundation. For that it worked fine!

So I had an old Serta mattress. I had a 3" Lucid already on that. This new one I just piled on top. I have no back pain and sleep through the night. I have to believe it will definitely isolate as it's very solid and supportive. Funny thing is that it feels too firm, but, it's not. I'm 6'4" and 205 lbs and really sleep better now.

any mattress that doesn't have support will likely start to bend over time if someone is sitting on the edge but this mattress is firm enough that it should be fine. It is more firm then any other mattress we have owned. We have had 3 different memory foam brands and this one is most solid. Just ensure whomever is sleeping on it is okay with extra extra firm

I can only answer what I think looks good. The mattress I got for this bed is a 8 inch thick Tempur-pedic type mattress. It is firm but comfortable. I think it looks good.

I have a sleep number bed. I purchased This VERY sturdy blanket support to hold up a sheet, a blanket and a heavy quilt. It never moves. I don't think you'll have any trouble with this at all. I found it helpful to have TWO people to adjust the height and put it in place. It has never moved. The tubing is not particularly wide - perhaps 1.5 inches - and the button adjustments work like those on a cane. VERY sturdy. Should fit easily.

I put my mattress directly onto the metal frame, but I have a no-flip mattress. I'm not sure if that makes a difference though because there is a type of metal webbing across this frame to completely support the mattress. This frame replaces a box spring and it reminds me of the type of frame you see in a roll-away bed.

I used these three metal slats to replace broken wooden slats on a bed that sounds similar to yours. I left in all the other wooden slats that were not broken. I can't imagine only having the 3 metal slats as support. I feel that the bed would sag and create back pain.

yes, I have an 8 inch mattress on mine. it leaves only 6 inches for the railing, but that's sufficient for my 6 year old.

I also purchased this bed for company. We used it daily for over a week and had no problems. If it seemed low after a few days of use, we just turned the air pump on for a minute to make it firm again.

off topic a bit, but we were looking at a sleep number bed because our mattress was sagging somewhat and they claim they don't sag. Yet, I've read other reviews besides yours that after some time, they lose pressure in the hip area and then the user has to raise the sleep number setting and eventually it's at 100 and still not supporting. We liked the beds in the showroom, but this was a concern. Also that it seemed a bit high maintenance- the pumps and adjustments and their sliding scale warranty policy. thanks!
