How does this mattress work with a tri-fold frame?

It works well enough. The frame I have is a tri-fold where you put 2 layers under your butt and one layer behind your back. Only problem I've had with it I've had with every futon mattress I've ever owned. It has a tendency to slide down in the back making the back shorter and the seat wider.... I fixed it easily enough by sewing tabs onto the Futon cover at the top, bottom and where I wanted it to fold up and become the back. This holds it in place well and it no longer slides down.

Unless you have a very thin mattress, it probably won't stay folded. I found with mine, trying to keep the top third up only makes the mattress slide down so that it's sitting on the flat part. I have a 10 inch futon mattress.

Its a nice box spring, but honestly I went to my local mattress store and purchased a regular one cheaper than this one (and obviously didn't fold in the middle). Glad it worked for others that have purchased it, I would have loved for it to have worked for us, but unfortunately anytime my husband or I sat on it, it folded. Like I said in my review -- it may have been due to a not so great frame, but regardless, we had to return it. Luckily the return process was quick and easy -- so I appreciated that!

This mattress comes rolled up in a large box, the box spring comes folded in half in a separate box. The only setting up is to open the box spring box, place it on the bed frame and unfold it. Then place the mattress on top of that and unroll it. It'a quite simple although I suggest two people as both items are quite heavy.

I've been using this frame with a memory foam mattress for almost a year now with no problems. The mattress spans the slats well, and I feel no deviation.

I can fold it into a couch - it does take effort - but with two people (or one really strong) it can be done. I don't have a tri-fold frame though.

I have this mattress and I'm having the same problem. It scoots down so that it's drooping off the edge and the frame is exposed at the top.

I have three of these mattresses. Each are on slats. You can use box springs just fine. As to advice on which one, sorry, but I'm not a fan of box springs so I can't help there.

It was very difficult to fold in half, and we had to strap it with tie downs to get it to conform to the futon. After 24 hours, we took off the tie downs and it still wouldn't stay folded into a futon position. So I don't think it would ever work for a tri-fold.

The mattress is firm but still flexible. So I think it will work on a adjustable frame.

This mattress is compressed and it will pop up to size out of the box. This mattress isn't rolled and it has springs/coils. :-)

Thats funny, I am about to do the same thing .. I intend on getting 3 ratchet straps, folding it in half (bed side in), putting on a cover and strapping it up. Just dont try and do it too tight so as not to ruin the internals of the mattress.

A frame will do fine. Or just a flat surface. The mattress does it all. I'm sure you will pleased with comfort. Mattresses don't get any better than Sleep Master, at any cost. jim killian April 29, 2013

It has two straps and plastic pieces that wrap around to the other side of your mattress-fasten it under mattress. You can pull to adjust a secure for snug fit.

The frame is in two pieces, each the size of a twin bed. But they fold flat so you should be able to get up the stairs fine. Our mattress arrived folded like a taco and wrapped in plastic instead of the box other people reported. But it manuvered very easily through the narrow hall and tight corner we needed to make, as it is foam and folds easily. Great mattress and easy to move. Shouldn't be a problem for you.

There are flexible wooden slats that go across the frame and support the mattress. Before, I had a spring mattress directly on the frame and a few of the slats would slip off repeatedly. Once I bought a new mattress w/ a box spring, I had no problems. I don't think it's required, but I personally had less issues after I used one.

The foam bridge's texture keeps it in place. You can remove it as well. We use a topper that also helps keep it in place and helps hide the seam and works great with no problems. We tried the straps around both mattress to keep them from separating and it worked fine but find it's not necessary if your box springs are solid or stiff.
