Would we be able to keep our memory foam mattress directly on the slats provided or we need to buy some extra foundation like plywood/box spring?

Yes, you will be able to keep your memory foam mattress. I purchased this product and it works well.

I have a 12in memory foam and there is no need for additional support. Might depend on how thick your mattress is but most likely you won't need anything else.

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.

You do require a foundation of some type. I built a frame with 2 by 4's and put 2 by 4 legs under it and plywood on top to support the mattress. We store stuff under the bed in Rubbermaid containers. A frame and two twin sized foundations would work, but I prefer the platform because of the storage space.

We used a regular mattress but I think a memory foam mattress would work just fine. The slats are close enough together, I believe they would provide plenty of support.

Yes you would need a foundation of some sort. I personally purchased an adjustable base and it works great. I demoed a few other high end mattresses before this, and I can say this is great.

You will need at minimum a box spring. Rails are designed to support box springs not the mattress itself. Your memory foam mattress will be destroyed on the rails without a boxspring to support it properly.

The support slats come with it. You do not need nor would you want a box spring as it would make it so high as to cover the headboard. We picked up a mattress at Costco and it is perfect.

Your are going to need a box spring or at the very least a piece of plywood cut to size . If you have or get a box spring you will need at least 5 slats ,if you go with plywood you may need less.

What they said... The slats are about 3" apart. I considered adding slats to make a more solid foundation, but my Novaform Gel Foam mattress indicated that it should not be placed on a solid foundation. The foam needs some air circulation. Hope that helps.

No, it's just the mattress alone. Best idea would be to use a large piece of plywood or an ikea bed frame + slats.

The best choice would be a bunk board. That's what mines on. Even if the wood slats are very close together, there still is space and that's not too good for a memory foam mattress (especially one that's 10 inches thick).

there are slats..which we currently have our mattress on..it's ok. If I wanted it perfect I would get a "bunky board" type board to put over slats. they sell them at bedding stores. There is wood supports in the middle.

You could use a box spring, but it isn't necessary. This bed is a platform bed. There aren't "slats," but a solid piece of plywood.

It comes with slats that replace a box spring. They are easy to install and on the king size mattress seem to give a lot of support to the bed. You could probably put plywood across on the lip of the frame but it really is not necessary.

I don't know. I have my Dreamfoam mattress sitting on plywood on top of my old king size box spring foundation. I had been told memory foam mattresses should only be placed on a firm foundation. Recommend you contact Dreamfoam Bedding at dreamfoambedding@gmail.com and ask them the question directly.

Yes. You will probably need a board for memory foam. The bottom are just metal slats.

I am using a foam mattress without a board. Plenty of slats provide all the support needed.
