I wish to place an air mattress on top of box springs. How do I keep the mattress from moving off the box springs? Thank you.

First, partially deflate mattress. Then immobilize the mattress to the box spring with two 1/4" braided nylon ropes placed in the lateral valley pleats of the mattress and not-too-tightly tied to the box spring --- one rope near the foot of the bed --- and the other near the head. Finally re-inflate the bed.

I have three of these mattresses. Each are on slats. You can use box springs just fine. As to advice on which one, sorry, but I'm not a fan of box springs so I can't help there.

I don't have a box spring. I just have the mattress on a platform bed. I don't have any problems, it's a heavy mattress and so comfortable!

I don't think it necessarily needs a box spring, but your mattress would be more comfortable with one. Box springs help displace the pressure of the springs in the mattress. The platform will keep the springs from bouncing and you end up with spring in your back. This is from personal experience. Can always get a box spring later if the platform isn't to your liking.

no- it zips around the entire mattress- you should do the box springs too...

We do not use a box spring. My son has a trundle bed and neither mattress has one. My husband and I both have to take turns sleeping in there with my son right now and nobody has a complaint about the mattress. Very happy with purchase.

The Beds Up Insert can sit on the slats which your box spring is sitting on. There needs to be an opening for the center legs to go to the floor for support. Feel free to send a picture of your bed for review. Cordially,jerry

yes you have to take the mattress off and this goes on the box springs I did not use mine because I have a water bed.

I suppose you could put a boxspring on top of it, as long as the boxspring and the mattress did not slide around each other. The way it's designed though, you don't need a boxspring. The boards/slats have some flexibility. Mine is very comfortable with just a mattress.

I would suggest these be left under the mattress and you can use wooden clothespins to attach the ends to the fabric seam of the box spring. This way, when you change the fitted sheet you can just attach it without lifting the mattress. These work way too good at keeping the sheets stable to go with another brand.

No need for a box spring, the slats are very sturdy. Besides, if you put a box spring on, I would think the mattress would tend to slide off when it is slept on.

NO!!! My mattress seats on spring straps. It is a hospital bed. You do not a box spring to use the mattress as long there I something for it rest on. I hope this helps.

If you want to keep them from moving, you can run a bead of spray foam around the baseline I did. I also placed insulation around it to prevent me jostling it out of place. I like to keep the top easily accessible so it can be found later.

You place it on top of the box spring or directly on the springs of a hospital bed. Works great! My 89 yo father loved it. Said it was the most comfortable mattress he ever slept on!

There is a very thin mattress that sits on springs. We purchased a coil spring mattress to use. The thin "mattress" that comes with it is pretty useless.

You don't use a box spring, you have to get a certain kind of bed frame instead. You can find them here on Amazon or at other major retailers. It seems odd, i know, but it actually works well because the bed will be the same height you are used to but you will end up with much more storage area underneath!
