does the mattress sti on metal springs or a sheet of plywood

The mini crib does not have the same support system of metal springs like its full sized sibling. The mattress will sit on a plywood board. My daughter is big for her age and very rambunctious and often will jump herself to sleep for naps. The mini crib works well even though I was hesitant on the wood base. We use it over at my mom's house so its not her primary bed. Works well without complaints or issues 2 years now.

I did not put plywood on top of the slats. I got a good mattress and the bed is really comfortable. Since the closely spaced wooden slats are essentially the same as having plywood, I don't think another 1/2 inch of wood would do anything. This bed frame is not meant to have box springs. I've been very happy with the bed frame.

I put my mattress directly onto the metal frame, but I have a no-flip mattress. I'm not sure if that makes a difference though because there is a type of metal webbing across this frame to completely support the mattress. This frame replaces a box spring and it reminds me of the type of frame you see in a roll-away bed.

No this actually has a solid sheet under the mattress. It is 3 pieces of plywood that sports it complete.

I don't know....can't see the inside. Most springs are metal I believe.....

Put it on a plywood base over the box spring. But don't buy a linen spa mattress - they DO NOT honor the warranty policy. They will state that the box spring voids the warranty. So buyer beware. Buy a sleep innovation or other brand

There are springs. It is used nightly as a bed by my teeage son. About 9 months ago we added a foam topper because he was feeling the springs. I would not want to sleep on it daily but cant get him to change.

When I bought this mattress I also bought Sleep Master Platform Metal Bed Frame/Mattress Foundation, Queen. This provides a nice foundation for the mattress, the mattress and frame are very light and easy to move, and there is storage space underneath the frame. If you have a standard frame built to take a box spring then you made need a box spring or lay some plywood on the frame first. But I just went for the mattress/Sleep Master frame combo. For $400 what the heck. I'm very happy with it.

Yes - we placed our Sleep Master mattress directly on a metal box frame we purchased from Amazon. The frame provides adequate support. We were extremely pleased and saw no need for either a box spring or any other type of mattress or added support. For us, this mattress on the metal frame is quite comfortable.

No it is slatted with metal bars. Very comfy and fine with just our mattress on it.

I believe it just refers to the metal frame the mattress goes on. It suspends the mattress off the floor so that there is space underneath.

There are no springs inside. It is an air mattress with flocking on top. It was made to go on top of a hide-a-bed mattress.

Just a regular box spring. We have a Cal king temper pedic and it works great!

Unless there is some big difference with a CA king size, I wound say right in the metal is fine... we have a queen and absolutely don't need plywood. Just my opinion, hope it helps.

It's all metal. I have slept on it a few times now and it's comfortable for me.

We put a sheet of plywood over our existing box springs and it's worked beautifully. You definitely need to support the mattress.

I think it would work with either. I got a metal frame and just put it on top of that -- seems to work well. A fairly decent mattress for the price.
