I just purchased a sleep number mattress which requires a flat platform bed surface with good center support. Is this frame strong enough for that?

The base has a center support that spans full length of bed. I would say yes!

I just purchased the queen size foam mattress. I have a platform bed frame. Will it be okay on that or do I need to purchase something else with this mattres to be able to sleep on it and acquire great sleep?

As long as you have a foundation. This is not a platform bed, the slats are made to support a boxspring, not act as one.

You will need slats or an actual bed frame with good strong ledges on sides and a beam through the middle with legs. Otherwise, it can shift and tip, sending you through the bed and onto the floor. I put mine on top of the slats that came with my platform bed (my memory foam mattress was so malleable that we kept popping the slats out, so this fixed that issue). I had originally tried it without the slats, but the ledges on the side weren't wide enough to support it without it shifting.

The platform is a series of slats over a solid area above the drawers on the sides - about 1/3 of the total mattress area on each side and slatted only over the center 1/3. It is quite solid. I have a 12 inch memory foam mattress and it supports it well.

It's average for a platform bed. But the overall height will depend on the thickness of the mattress you use with it.

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, the frame is very sturdy. I have had adults sleep in beds with this bed frame.

Patricia, this frame is designed for a box spring. I think you would be very uncomfortable placing just a mattress in it and it probably would fall off the narrow metal side frames. There is only one cross beam to support the middle. It would not work well.

:) Yes this is a million times better than wood slats. It is a complete foundation system that fully supports a mattress without a box spring. And it comes with brackets to mount a headboard and footboard if you so choose. It's high off the floor so if you tried to use a box spring too, you'd need a step stool to get on your bed. It's designed with enough support to keep your mattress warranty intact with or without a box spring while many other frames would not. My husband and I are large people and it fully supports us. Just be sure to buy a full size platform...full size is 4 inches narrower than a queen size.

Hi, it is my opinion so far that this frame is much more sturdy than the old style that goes with a box spring. It does not move, and it has good stability features. You would have to ask the manufacturer for the specific number of pounds it will support though.

This is a great frame for this type of mattress. You'll be surprised with the quality and how sturdy it really is. I'm going to buy another. Good luck and I know you'll be satisfied.

From everything I've read, I think a platform bed will be fine. As long as you have good stability underneath. I have just a regular box spring, and it works just fine.

If it's something you want to lean against a lot, I wouldn't. The bed is made of pressboard with a thin vainer over it, and I don't think it's that strong. If you just want something for decoration, or if the headboard is against the wall, it might work.

I have been using this bed slats for a month and I would say that they are pretty strong. I bought a mid-beam from ikea for my bed. So, if you use them by installing mid-beam in your bed frame, it will be strong enough to handle any size of bed. I hope that helps you out to make your decision~

Foam beds will work great on a platform bed frame, a slatted bed frame (as long as the slats are not more than 3-4 inches apart), or a foundation with a frame. A foundation is going to look exactly like a box spring, but it has no springs in it. The foundation will create the same type of surface as a platform bed. As long as you put the mattress on something that creates a very rigid and very firm support the mattress will do great.

I'm not sure..but this frame is made well and very sturdy..the middle support should hold a lot of weight.We bought it for a full size bed and are very pleased with it.
