Previous buyers, what type of foundation did you use...box spring, platform, ??? We have a new bed ordered and hope the pieces work together. Thx!!

I bought this for an old wooden bed that used slats. They were lost, so I bought wider wood ( 6 ", I think) from Menards and used more pieces so that they were closer together and worked pretty much like a platform. No box spring. Enjoy your mattress!

We have our's on a box spring, but a platform will work just a well. Enjoy!!!

I bought the Sleep Master Platform Metal Bed Frame/Mattress Foundation, Queen. It is extremely sturdy. Height from floor is 26" (mattress on frame). No box spring. Make sure you air out the mattress for a day or two before use, it has a strong smell due to the way it is packaged (delivered rolled up)

Yes, I bought a platform bed to go with it. It worked out very good I'm glad I went with the platform bed, I have never had a platform bed before but I am glad I decided to use the platform instead of a box spring.

I contacted Tuft & Needle about the bed frame displayed on their website to see if it was available for purchase. Kelly responded and advised that the frame was a prototype and not available at this time. She gave me the web addresses to couple of companies that make similar frames: haikudesigns.com and tatamiroom.com. The frames from those two companies were out of my price range, but they all look very nice. I found a basic solid mahogany platform bed frame from the Charles P. Rogers website that I am going to buy. I've never heard of the company, but all the reviews mention that their product is very high quality. This is the bed frame I am going to purchase: http://www.charlesprogers.com/solide-platform-bed-p-392.html?cPath=31_155 One thing I like about this frame is that the platform is level with the frame and appears to be some kind of upholstered deck instead of wooden slats.

The person that suggested this foundation to me for my memory foam mattress just sat the frame on the floor and used it that way. I am using a wood Bed frame with headboard.

The information that came with the mattress indicated a box spring, or a serta foam mattress base should be used, it shouldn't be on a solid surface. We used our old box spring.

I just use it for the foam bed. No foundation because it will not raise or lower since most foundations are made of wood framing.

We purchased ours and used a box spring with a mattress. Not sure if a platform bed would work.

You don't have to use a box spring. You can use a platform of some sort to support it, or you can buy a foundation for it as I did for another mattress. There's a few ways to set it up so that it's right for you.

When I bought this mattress I also bought Sleep Master Platform Metal Bed Frame/Mattress Foundation, Queen. This provides a nice foundation for the mattress, the mattress and frame are very light and easy to move, and there is storage space underneath the frame. If you have a standard frame built to take a box spring then you made need a box spring or lay some plywood on the frame first. But I just went for the mattress/Sleep Master frame combo. For $400 what the heck. I'm very happy with it.

I did not simply because with the box spring on top of the platform frame slats the bed was about 4 1/2 feet off the ground. so we just put it directly onto the slats... if you purchase just be careful during construction as some of the wood is kind of thin and soft so screws can shred or tear if you have to screw in/unscrew and screw again

With foam beds you want to make sure you put it on a foundation. A foundation will look exactly like a box spring, but it will have no springs in it. A foundation will sit on your frame just like your current box spring does.

You do require a foundation of some type. I built a frame with 2 by 4's and put 2 by 4 legs under it and plywood on top to support the mattress. We store stuff under the bed in Rubbermaid containers. A frame and two twin sized foundations would work, but I prefer the platform because of the storage space.

It is critically important to use a good solid foundation, rather than a box spring with Memory foam mattresses. I've had a bedinabox mattress for 5 years. I love it, and i recently tried it on a box spring after another memory foam bed needed a foundation. Now this bedinabox mattress dumps me out of bed if I get near the edge, because the box spring sags when I do. Get the very good bedinabox oak foundation...

We used a box frame. Wishing we would have bought a low profile box because with the standard box & this mattress - makes a pretty tall bed. Love the mattress though!

I would definetly not use a a regular box spring. you need a completely flat serface like a couple sheets of ply wood on top of your favorite bed set. its a great matress if you havnt picked it up already and worth way more then what you pay for it. extremely pleased

I am using a platform. I had a platform bed with drawers under that I had an I am still using it. Works great and love my Brentwood 10" HD Memory foam mattress.
