What kind of foundation is best for this mattress?

a firm mattress foundation is good or you can go with just a metal rack bedframe. I ordered this bed with this bedframe. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005WXNTLM/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

I have a traditional box spring foundation and it's fine, no problems at all.I think this mattress would be best on a solid type of surface like the top of a box spring or a platform type foundation--I'm not sure about a slatted bed frame, but the mattress is very firm, and the bottom is a different, stiffer fabric that is stretched tighter and it isn't padded and soft like the top of the mattress is, so I think it would be fine even on a slatted bed.

We bought the Handy Living King Wood Slat Bed Frame and it works perfectly. Took me an hour to put it together, but it should only take 30mins if you've put one together before. Directions were easy to follow and I had all the tools needed in my toolbox.

I went with the thicker mattress for my TT. The down side of that is it makes getting into bed a little difficult due to the increased highth from the floor. TTs have a storage area under the bed. Great sleep!

We went to IKEA and bought their memory foam mattress foundation (which is just a framed box withmaterial covering it). Cost was about $120. The mattress fits perfectly on it, and it raises the mattress up quite high with the legs that they sell separately.

Our mattresses only require a flat and secure foundation. This includes a traditional box spring, a slatted bed frame, or even the floor-just as long as the resting area is flat and secure.

no, i really think you need the box springs for support. a great mattress, but it needs a foundation.

thanks a bunch for your reply. I think i'm going to get the bed frame along with a thicker memory foam mattress.

A good base maybe sinc it is very thick & heavy. By base, i mean it should be something sturdy enough to hold the weight of both the mattress and the person using it. CBag is right, platform frame or slats are good options.

You'll definitely need to purchase some sort of foundation. We got a box spring but I think one of the more solid foundations that are made for a memory foam mattress would have been a better choice.

You're going to want more support. Especially if you want the mattress to last. Ikea sells a slatted bed base for under 50. It's just a bundle of slats connected by ribbon That you can roll out.

I use a frame for it. But I do not think it is necessary to add on a foundation. The bottom of this mattress is quite firm, and the top is comfortable-soft.

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.

I currently have mine on a storage foundation from Ikea that uses slats. As long as the slats aren't far apart on the platform bed, this mattress should be fine.

I believe the struts of the frame are placed closely enough so that an additional foundation is not needed. It should support any mattress without a problem. If necessary, one could always lay a piece of plywood or even corrugated board under the matress, but I didn't find that necessary at all.

When i got this mattress I put it on my old boxspring and found myself waking up extemely sore. After doing some research, I learned that this type of mattress needs to have a solid, flat support. Instead of spending the money on a platform frame, I just ran down to Home Depot and bought a properly sized piece of plywood and threw it on top of the boxspring. After doing this, the comfort level improved immensely.

Any mattress you find comfortable. I went to a mattress store and chose what was comfortable. Depth was not an issue.

I wanted to add that you should base your purchase on the firmness you desire...it is VERY firm for a foam mattress. We returned ours.

It's pretty firm so if you want something cushy you'll need to find another mattress. I purchased it because I wanted something in my play yard other than the hard surface it has. Good Luck!!!
