Is it normal for the mattress to be 2 inches longer and wider than the box spring? I'm allowing to "fluff" but wondering if that is typical. Thx!

I don't remember how it was at first, but now I checked and both the box spirng and mattress line up perfectly

I have had the mattress for about a year now, and it should even out fine. I LOVE this mattress! :)

You should be fine. We actually placed ours on a standard box spring as well. Simply the best money ever spent on a mattress! Enjoy

Greg, this box does not require a box spring. I have a 14 inch pillowtop (12 inhes of mattress and 2 inches of pillowtop). It works great. HOWEVER, I did go to Lowe's and redid the middle support beam. The one that comes with it is very flimsy and snapped on me when I moved the bed to clean underneath within the first week I had it. I just bought a few 2X4's and some screws. I had them cut the 2X4's to the measurements that I needed and its very sturdy now. Instead of one middle beam, I did two 2X4's about a feet in from each side of the bed and added some additional legs. With the 2X4's and screws that I bought, it was only about $18. I highly recommend it though.

I had trouble with the horizonal bar area. We only had one mattress on our platform bed.It didn't require a box spring. Look at the picture closely and that mattress comes up to the horizontal bar _ we had about a 3 inch gap, my pillow would slide right out the back.I really do like the frame. I taped some heavy foam board to the back and we're OK now.I don't think the up right bars will be a problem.

I put my mattress on the frame and had no board and no trouble. Are you sure you put it together properly? Is there a box spring? I don't think it will stay on the frame without a box spring.

We aren't necessarily big. I weight about 200, my wife is small but VERY pregnant, and our five-year-old frequently jumps in with us. We have noticed NO indention. We do try to flip it once a month, which I guess helps. We also have it sitting on our old box spring, which I have been told can cause indentions underneath from the box spring metal. We haven't seen any though.I can not say enough how much I NOW enjoy going to bed. I dread sleeping on anything else, even the very nice bed we sleep on at my folks.

Lana, the twin mattress I bought, fits just right on my old twin box spring. Perhaps someone else might have more information for you.

This one is two inches thick- they lump all the reviews together which is really confusing and not really useful. I personally love my 2 inch topper- we have a baby and now we sleep like we haven't slept in ages. I have a queen, but it fits perfectly on top of the mattress, so I would assume the king does as well

I bought this for an old wooden bed that used slats. They were lost, so I bought wider wood ( 6 ", I think) from Menards and used more pieces so that they were closer together and worked pretty much like a platform. No box spring. Enjoy your mattress!

Hi, only the part that is on the floor under the bed is that size. It's about 2" thick that comes up the bottom of the box spring and mattress. I love mine, it's the second one I've had. The motor went out of the first one after 2 years use. It was cheaper to order a new one than to get it fixed. Loooooovvvvvveeeeeee it!!!!!!!!!

Its a nice box spring, but honestly I went to my local mattress store and purchased a regular one cheaper than this one (and obviously didn't fold in the middle). Glad it worked for others that have purchased it, I would have loved for it to have worked for us, but unfortunately anytime my husband or I sat on it, it folded. Like I said in my review -- it may have been due to a not so great frame, but regardless, we had to return it. Luckily the return process was quick and easy -- so I appreciated that!

First I want to say I really love this mattress. I have a bad back and it gives the support I need.I bought this mattress and I also bought a metal frame from Amazon. with the frame, the box springs on top of the frame and then the mattress it works perfectly. To answer your question if you use a queen size bed spread on your king size bed it probably won't drag. But a king size bedspread would definitely drag. you can measure from the floor across your box spring to the floor on the opposite end and add 16 inches (side to side and top to bottom 16 inches to both).then search for a spread that has those dimensions.

I did so, and yes it's lower, but what bugs me is the creaking noises. I never heard anything when I had a regular mattress on the box spring, but with the memory foam mattress on top, it makes loud creaking noises when I shift positions. Not always, but often. I'm thinking about putting a plywood board between the mattress and box springs.

Ditto! I bought two twins, attached the twin frames, and voila! Twin mattress and box spring fits nicely. Easy and very pretty!

Hi. I don't think we got the Twin XL, which is the dorm size. I think we got regular twin. That said, we have a very thick twin mattress with a pillow top, and the thing wouldn't fit over the mattress. Luckily we had also bought an encasement for the box spring, which wasn't as thick as the mattress in our case. So what we did was to trade, putting the box spring cover (which was deeper) on the mattress and the mattress cover on the box spring! I'm sorry, I don't know the actual measurements of this item (it's at my daughter's apartment, not here). But I did want to let you know that some mattresses are too deep for it!

Zarett, what did you end up doing about the mattress? I went ahead and purchased this mattress and really don't feel safe about how it fits the bassinet. I'm thinking on ordering a custom made mattress from Naturepedic instead. Thanks!

If memory serves, their larger beds have a large, elevated beam running down the middle, annyway. So, six_one, half dozen the other... W/a memory foam bed, I doubt you'd feel much of a bump in the middle. Another reason to never buy another box spring mattress.
