I saw you can wedge the base between a matress and box spring. Does this work well for reading and watching on your back in bed?

This stand is great for that on my bed. i have a very heavy mattress, which helps to stabilize it though.

The stand is 123cm tall to the centre of the bracket, this is less when the flexible neck of stand is bent over. The stand could be wedged between mattress and base, I haven't used it like this as it is tall enough for me to read in bed, you may need to be careful not to roll over and dislodge the stand. It has holes for fixing to the floor which could be used if able to be fixed to say a timber foundation

My mother put it between the mattress and box spring and it works great for her.

I bought it for a gift so not sure as to the reading light quality as I did not try it for that - seemed to have regular flashlight type light. Would depend on the headboard if it would clamp on ok. Should work well with most metal frames or thinner wood frames

You could do that... But it would be more comfortable with a box spring I think. It comes down to personal preference. Yes you could do that though.

I use it to read Kindle, iBooks & Zinio mags while on an exercise bike. I have an iPad Air and it works great. I have not tried it from bed, but it should work just fine...

Yes it works. I would not use a box spring. The frame and a matress are enough and as for looks makes an appealing bed.

Yes - I do use this to read at night. My Kindle may have spoiled me, as regular books appear "just plain dark" and I find I no longer like limiting myself to "that one chair near the lamp". If I want to read on the couch or on the porch or wherever, the light isn't good enough and the head lamp makes reading in those places practical. Yes the light is comfortable enough to wear while reading, and the variable light settings allow you to pick how much additional light you need.

The foam part of the bottom of the matress is pretty supportive. If you have a platform style bed with "slats" you don't need a box spring. If your bed does not have something like that you would need a box spring

Yes, this lamp is great for reading. No need to pull it down close to your book, though, as it casts ample light wherever it's shone. Right now, we have the lamp set up so that it's about two feet above our three seat couch, making any of its seats a great reading spot.

Yes. It's just like the picture. If you didn't have a box spring the matress would sag into openings I would think.

I use it on a foundation. It's absolutely fine. I don't think you need a box spring, actually. One of the many great things about it! It's truly an amazing mattress. I have a friend who bought a similar Sealy foam mattress for $3,000 (he didn't believe that a mattress for $189 would be good) and this matress is just as good as his--I swear. I don't have a single complaint about it.

In my futon, it is fine. On my bed, it falls out because the books are too heavy. You may have to pin it to the box spring somehow to keep it from falling.

I haven't actually tried it in bed; but when I use it while sitting in an easy chair, I place it on a pillow on my lap and then adjust the angle. I suspect the same technique would work in bed.

Its meant to take a box spring. You might be able to use it with just a mattress (there are center supports) but it would be pretty low.

we were not able to use the box springs with this bed but we do have a memory foam on top of the matress. This works great for us.

Might work. Our mattress was on floor because of wife's issues. If box spring is on a standard bed frame with little casters probably ok. If mattresses are in Scandinavian style bed with a small wooden box holding mattress it will not work. I hope this helps.
