We have a mattress on the floor for now &amp; wanted to wait on a box spring for our toddler. Will it work, just without hide away feature, for now?

No you need the box springs mattress for the straps to lock onto. hope this helps it's a great one, one of the best but you need to get the box springs first.

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!

Yes, that will work ok. In fact my Brentwood is not on a box spring. It is on a platform that was used with a Sleep number bed. As long as there is even support on the bottom of the mattress this will do great. One thing you might need for the platform is to place a anti slip between the mattress and the platform. This will help keep your mattress from migrating off the platform. There many of the anti slip for throw rugs to keep them from moving on hard floors. I hope this helped out? Good luck and enjoy.

No, we just put the mattress on it. If you put a box spring, the mattress will be too high. The picture is what our little girl's bed looks like with just the mattress.

Actually, a toddler bed (as it is known) has three walls to allow the toddler to get out of, or into, the bed on their own. I plan to convert my granddaughter's bed when she's old enough, although I am not altogether satisfied with the manufacturer's suggestion to just remove the front side because it would leave the edge of the mattress and spring exposed. I plan to fabricate a length of PVC lumber (that white stuff), because it's soft and there are no splinters to worry about, to fit over the front just to cover where the edges of the mattress and spring are exposed (so they won't slide around, or where she might get caught), but allow her to easily roll out of the bed over the panel I install. But it won't be for a while, yet.

We do not use a box spring. My son has a trundle bed and neither mattress has one. My husband and I both have to take turns sleeping in there with my son right now and nobody has a complaint about the mattress. Very happy with purchase.

That should work, although this mattress doesn't need the box springs. A platform, such as plywood, works fine.

I'm not sure how your bed is made but I would think it would still fit between the mattress and either the box spring mattress and the top mattress. If your mattress sits on top of something flat, it should work. Mine slips between the mattress and the box springs. If yours is the same, when you raise the bed, it should raise with the mattress -- Good luck!

My son never uses this in a the sofa position, but he says with his type of mattress, it probably would slip/overhang the bottom some, with nothing to stop it. He uses the thicker/firmer type futon mattress.... In the flat position, we give it 5*'s though.... nice and solid!!

Not sure we had a box spring we just put it on top of that. No problems. It is a good mattress.

I am wondering if this would help a hide-a-bed. They are uncomfortable as a rule, but wonder if this 4" topper would make ours tolerable.

Yes, I just have the mattress on the floor without any box spring and it is very comfortable. I imagine it might be a bit more comfy when placed on a box spring, however, you don't need one.

I have it on a platform type bed with only a mattress, no box springs. There's a strap that comes with it that normally goes around a box spring, but I just put it around the slats or for you, where your springs would be. Worked for me.Hope this helps :)

It should work fine. It slides in between the mattresses assuming you have box springs or underneath the mattress if you have murphy bed(in my case) or platform bed (assuming there is nothing blocking at that level such as a water bed frame. The legs adjust to the height. It slides easily to position it where it's easier to assist setting up or lying down.

We already have a Bunkie board - will that do instead of a box spring? Trying to save money.

Not at all, wont be able to tell if its on a box spring or a steel floor. Dont use boxspring myself

Yes but only 3 cross pieces so you need either a box spring or a bunky board or plywood to put under a mattress. We have a toddler in ours with a bunky board so we could put up a safety rail and it works great. We live it.
