I'm looking for a mattress for a daybed with slats. Should I use the spring-based mattress for this?

We have this mattress in queen size on a metal bed frame and slats. Our slats don't have much gap between them, so it's a pretty solid surface on which the mattress sits. It works just fine this way. I'm not sure how much sagging there would be if the slats were far apart.

I don't see why not. My daughters bed is a bunk bed with slats instead of a spring base, and it works pretty well. I was concerned about the quality when I ordered the first of these mattresses, but after a few months of use, for all three kids, they are holding up well. I believe that they would work as well as any similarly priced mattress you would buy locally.

I would say use a box spring. However on my 6" memory I put wood slats(1x4) on my wood bed frame with a 3" space in between each slat. And I did not use a box spring... It depends on how high you want your bed to be. So... You either have to use the box spring or additional slats.

I wouldn't recommend doing that. It's a good bed but I just have a mattress on and I can't imagine the slats supporting a box spring and a mattress

No. I have the same model and i only have my mattress on it. The metal slats give great support. But if you want a little height, use a box spring or I used bed risers to have storage under the bed.

We used a bunky board at one time, and also just wood slats (make sure there are enough) and it worked just fine. Excellent mattress, but it's KEY to rotate it.

We made it work on a day bed where there were just slats and a mattress but no box spring. We had to put a thick blanket over the slats but it still worked okay. You can still store it between the slats and mattress when not in use. Well worth it when grandchildren are visiting.

The slats replace the box spring. But a box spring and mattress will also work. It is a great bed for my son.

It can be used either way. I use both, and definitely prefer it that way. It looks to me like the picture has just a mattress. I also have the slats. I see a previous responder says the construction of the bed is very cheap. I don't find it so at all.

Yes, you'll need both a mattress and a box spring. The higher profile box springs are ideal.

Yes, you need a box spring with this! There are 4 slats that go across and that is not enough for the mattress.

I have a standard queen size mattress. The box spring isn't really necessary with the wood slats.

I put my futon mattress directly on the slats, without adding any plywood or anything else. I find that the bed frame is able to support the futon mattress very well and is very comfortable. I was very pleased with this frame which I have been using for about 2 years.

I used a platform bed frame that has multiple slats and no need for a box spring. It is firm and very comfortable, perfect for that platform bed.

your slats will be fine. i have my mattress on a trundle, which is very similar. i also have another foam mattress on Ikea slats, so you're good. (y)

I put a low profile box spring with my memory foam but If you add additional slats I'm sure it would be fine

you don't need any slats. It is designed for a memory foam mattress to lay right over the top. It eliminates the box spring, I should have put this thing in years ago!
