Will bed support weight of memory foam mattresses AND a body? Thinking about 8" Sleep Science for upper twin & trundle, and 10" Novaform from Costco.

It will hold a mattress plus couple hundred pounds. You can replace the wood that supports the bed. They have them at ikea. And I'm sure other places

The 8" and 10" mattresses should be fine for depth, we have a 10-11" mattress on the top bunk. As far as the weight issue, the memory foam should be fine but I would not put more than a normal sized teenager on the top bunk even on a normal mattress, as there are only 1" x 3" slats for support.

Love this bed! We used a boxspring with our memory foam mattress and the support was very good, the slats are too far apart for just the memory foam mattress, you could use plywood as a base.

Anne, I love my memory foam mattresses. I have a 12" and an 8". I like them both. I bought the 12" first, and, only bought the 8", because, I like to rotate my mattress, and, the 12" is too heavy. Great comfort, no regrets Anne.

The sheets are deep pockets, how ever with the addition of 10 inch it will not fit and the top sheet will be to short. With the said your best bit is to sheet both the original mattress and a separate sheet for the memory foam mattress. Good luck

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.

There are two haters of foam in this bed- top is memory foam, bottom is so-called "support foam." 4" of memory foam would be significantly heavier and more expensive.

I'm not sure how sturdy memory foam mattresses are. I don't have any experience with them at all. To provide more insight on the product, the interior rails that the bed rest on are 10 inches by 5.5 inches if that helps. I have two of these. My king frame sits on a mattress with low profile box springs. My twin frame however is the mattress only and it's works either way comfortably-without sliding or falling through.

You might want to get a more high quality foam mattress. This is only 4lb foam I believe, you might be more interested in a mattress with 8-10 lb memory foam. It'll support you better and last significantly longer

Having had three memory foam mattresses, I'd say any firm base would work. The ones included with Tempurpedic are just empty wood boxes. Plywood would work, so would a floor. I've even slept on one in the back of a van on extended photography trips. Anything that will support the weight of the mattress (they're 50+ pounds, depending on size) and people should be no problem. You won't notice any unevenness of the base through the mattress, either.

We used a regular mattress but I think a memory foam mattress would work just fine. The slats are close enough together, I believe they would provide plenty of support.

I'm pushing 275 so I would say no problem. I just can't get use to the memory foam pillow. I like the mattress better than the one at home.

Yes. I have the same mattress. Buy a wood board to put underneath from home depot... Its a reallly thin piece of wood or use something similar. And get the dual bc the single one has way too many false alarms. Love it and worth the investment

Our 10" Pressure Relief Memory Foam Mattress weighs about 64 lbs. We advise that two people carry this together that our rolled up mattresses are circular in shape, which it difficult for one person to carry upstairs. Sincerely,Sleep Revolution

The top memory foam is 3". Do not know the density in pounds. If you read my review, I said this mattress is firmer than the one at home (which is a difference mattress). I think it's good for the price. Time will tell how it holds up. I kept my shipping invoice, order from Amazon and will definitely call the guarantee into play if it doesn't meet expected performance. Hope this helps some.

Yes. We have a Novaform mattress on our traditional box springs and it works fine. We have had ours for over four years and we love it. It has held up well. I can't really tell any difference between today and the day we bought it.

Yes, both bed upper and lower level at my daughter's room have memory foam matress. For lower level bed needs 8" matress because if is 10" the bed don't go under the upper level bed. We love our bed.
