Is this a complete system? Or do I need to purchas 2 foundations for it? What does the memory foam sit on?

Yes, this is a complete system. The base is like a well finished hospital bed and is shipped from a different location than the foam mattress.

It comes with bendable foundations, exactly like the picture (no headboard of course). We are very happy with ours (California king set). Note that with the head raised you end up a long way from your night stand (assuming you have one). I built custom sliding top night stands when I built the headboard for ours.

It is a complete set. The memory foam sits on an adjustable base that is included.

Yes, the mattress is included. This set comes with everything as it is a complete set. However I am very glad you ased a question becuase I am about to save you big bucks. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM. It was 10 days after the warranty expired when te couch's seam which runs right through the center of the entire couch separates. This will happen to every one of them as it is the way the developed it. When you open the couch to form the bed, there is no center support. So as you sleep you always feel and have the center gap which pushes down on the main couch material and splits it. I wrote me original review prior to finding this matter out. Please reconsider your decision. Anything else just ask and hope I provided you with information you needed.

it appears to be one wedge of foam so I would say the whole thing is memory foam. I've had it for almost a year and it is holding up well.

Just the mattress. You need a good solid foundation for any foam mattress. We have a daybed and put a piece of wood across the springs. It works well.

Hello Lexine, No. A steel base, a standard foundation ( not box springs with coils ) and or a platform bed are all ideal bases to go under the memory foam mattress. The harder the surface, the better the memory foam mattress will perform.

The bed requires 1 Full Innerspring Mattress for the top and 1 Twin Innerspring Mattress for the bottom. The bed is designed to hold innerspring mattresses without the need for a foundation or boxspring. We do not recommend using memory foam mattresses.

It is only the "top" mattress with a nice mattress protector no boxspring or frame included; memory foam needs a solid base so no boxsring, put plywood or solid slats on frame or between mattress and boxspring if using one

Just the mattress. I have no foundation on it and I haven't noticed any uncomfortableness at all (and I used a rather hard but still comfy matress before)

U need a box spring or solid base. It's a great mattress but u still need support under it.

It works like memory foam. You will still need to give same amount of help.

It only has slats. A memory foam would not be wise to use there. Use a thicker matress

It's memory foam but not the super dense kind. It's lightweight.love it for myself

Yes, you need a foundation or box spring. It's not a real platform bed, though it looks like one. I had to return it. They have a similar looking one at Walmart.com that is an actual platform with slats.

No you do not need a base it is all included. You will need a boxspring and mattress. The boxspring is lower than a average bed. You need to tell them it is for a platform bed. I love this bed.

Oh please don't ask me as I sent mine back and never ordered again. It's merely foam, no support nor comfort it is not what it states, reason for my return. See handprint? Yeah, well don't expect it to come up as it's merely foam not memory foam, read on memory foam it must contain viscose, this doesn't nor do many now advertising as memory foam. Just use search on memory foam, not to any site but contents. Good Luck! I bought 4 before getting one that helped, as my prior, which lasted 9 years. It was true memory foam

You can use the foam mattress. But if by "foundation" you mean a box spring, you do not need this because the bed acts as its own foundation and a rigid box spring would prevent the mattress from flexing and defeat the purpose of this bed's adjustability.

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.
