Will this support a 17 inch foam mattress?

I am not sure, however, you might want to purchase a different support. The wood on mine cracked after a short period and kept falling on the floor as I have a platform bed. I ended up screwing the support in place which took care of the problem.

I am not sure about the stability to consistently support the 17". Mine is only a 14". It started out great, but now sometimes the plastic pieces will slide and not support my laptop at the higher levels, so I had to bring it down to the level that it would support it without sliding.

Not really. A 14 inch sits nicely on it and a 15 inch would snug. 17 would be a tad too tight.

In my opinion, I would say "yes" as long as there was some sort of base to the mattress so as not to sag in between the metal supports.

It will stabilize it, but you may have to adjust the height of the frame to take advantage of the mattress weight.

Yes, my wife and I use an 8" memory foam mattress on this frame, and it works well.I was surprised, and did not expect it to work as well as it does.

It's not necessary, but you could ... just make sure the box spring has a structure of supports that are pretty close together so you don't end up with sagging sections. Remember, the foam mattress doesn't have as strong a "frame" to keep it from drooping in between slats. It works best on a platform frame -- try searching Amazon.com for "platform bed frame" to see a good idea of the support it should have. I have a queen-size Sleep Master metal bed frame foundation that works great (I just bought 12 risers to raise it up another few inches). Hope that helps!

My guess would be yes. The mattress weighs 86 lbs which is less than a normal mattress of the same size. I have seen on a memory foam mattress site that the slats should not be separated by more than 3 inches. If the slats are wider you could place a piece of plywood on top of the slats or provide more slats. Hope this helps.

Probably not unless you had something heavier like a plank of wood to brace it down. Here is why: The side guard is anchored down to the bed by using the weight of the mattress against two(2) L-shaped metal rods. Now if you put a sheet of wood between the foam and mattress or put the bars under the mattress it would be ok. We have both standard and deep mattresses (18") and this is the highest quality bed rail we found so far that fits both. I hope this helps you.

I believe it can support the weight of a memory foam mattress, I would probably put it on a Bunkie board though.

I believe that it would accommodate a high mattress. It is 21" high, so I guess the best way is to measure your mattress height. My mattress is an older one so it isn't as high as the modern ones. good luck!

not really, if you use a box spring it makes it really high up, add 17" plus the height of your box and the height of your mattress to see if it would be to high up.

There is about a 2 inch gap between the boards and I think a foam mattress would not add the support you need. It should be noted that the wood used for this bed is not at all high quality and if this is something you plan to have a child sleep on don't expect long term use we bought 2 for our boys and they lasted for only just over a year. One of the 2 the wood split while we were putting together and had to use wood glue to fix. If it is something that will not be for daily use it could be ok. Maybe...

I don't know. We bought it for a 14" gel foam mattress. It's great for that purpose. This is basically a box with wooden slats and a fabric cover. It has no springs or cushioning.

My 17" fit on it, no problem, it just wouldn't hold it up...if I didn't hold onto the legs, it tipped over. Hope this helps!

My mattress is 13" and there is quite a lot of room left but I think 18" might be too much to try to cover. I would guess 16" might be the limit.

Yes, I believe you will have no issues with it fitting a 17". I use a 15" and it is quite stable so I cannot see it not being able to holf the 17"
