We went to IKEA and bought their memory foam mattress foundation (which is just a framed box withmaterial covering it). Cost was about $120. The mattress fits perfectly on it, and it raises the mattress up quite high with the legs that they sell separately.

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

Nanette: In my case this was a replacement mattress for my Queen platform bed. It has a series of slats as a foundation which works beautifully.

We just used our old box style. It works. Old or new they get covered up with a bed skirt.

Off the top of my head, from when I researched this product, I seem to remember that for this mattress a platform, not a box spring, was recommended.

I just purchased a Space Base from Walmart, for 48$. I have been using it and it has just as much support as expensive brands. Plus leaves 12-14 inches under the bed for storage. I am not sure what is "recommended" by the manufacturer? It is strong with no wires. but it is light weight and easy to move around. It is all one piece. Hope this helps!

When I opened the mattress, the warranty paper attached to mattress said that this mattress is intended to be used without a foundation. We're still not decided on that. But I would recommend to go for a solid piece.

I purchased with an extra thick mattress and it is working nicely. It gives the mattress support and is not too high.

My review is for the original foundation. It has a wire network of support. The new Elite has replaced the wires with wide metal slats and increased the weight capacity. Either is fine. I use a bed skirt with mine and a regular mattress. I believe your all foam one would be fine with either as long as you use a bed skirt so the mattress is not touching the metal. If you want a completely flat surface you could place a 1/4 sheet of plywood on the foundation and then the mattress on that. I jope this info helps

A foam mattress goes on top of this adjustable platform, NO foundation. Can get more information by going to the manufacturers website (use Google Search). A very thick foam mattress (over 6 inches) will not work with this device. Also be sure not to go over the recommended weight limit or risk having the motor assembly bust in half.

For best results, a flat platform frame or foundation is needed. We have used box springs on a standard metal frame with memory foam and were happier once we switched to a platform type frame with the mattress directly on top of it. We have this mattress directly on a wooden bunk bed frame and it is great!

I am not sure if this mattress could be used on an adjustable base or not. I have it on a regular foundation, but I would call the company and ask. I called them many times before I bought the matress and they were very helpful. 888-975-8243

Yes. The top part is all foam (various types and density memory foam) parts so you will need a solid foundation for it to set on. Slats or spring foundations will not work properly. The foundation needs to be one continuous (or multiple pieces side-by-side) solid platform. We are using two solid, full size platforms for our King size mattress.

If I understand your question correctly, the foundation would rest on the side rails that currently support your slats. Or, you could just rest this foundation on top of the 5 slats you currently have. I have a regular metal bed frame, which has side rails about 1 1/2" wide upon which the foundation rests. It is quite secure and fits well.

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 have a traditional box spring foundation and it's fine, no problems at all.I think this mattress would be best on a solid type of surface like the top of a box spring or a platform type foundation--I'm not sure about a slatted bed frame, but the mattress is very firm, and the bottom is a different, stiffer fabric that is stretched tighter and it isn't padded and soft like the top of the mattress is, so I think it would be fine even on a slatted bed.

I would not recommend that with ANY memory foam mattress...eventually the springs will case issues. I recommend a simple box base...I bought mine at www.kwmattress.com. If link does not show up look up Katy Wholesale Mattress and then order the VersiFlex Foundation in whatever size your mattress is.

The bottom where the mattress lays is MDF/ particle board. I ordered a different mattress. The one that comes with it is junk! With the new matress I loved this bassinet! Very sturdy!

Any standard mattress will work :) ours has rounded corners and it's a snug fit

This mattress only require a flat and secure foundation. This includes a traditional box spring, a slatted bed frame, or even the floor-just as long as it is resting on a flat and secure area.
