I just use it for the foam bed. No foundation because it will not raise or lower since most foundations are made of wood framing.

We have a thick pure latex mattress on a Queen size adjustable base. Works great. It not a mattress made for an adjustable base, buts it flexible so it works fine, just eliminated the box springs.

A foam mattress goes on top of this adjustable platform, NO foundation. Can get more information by going to the manufacturers website (use Google Search). A very thick foam mattress (over 6 inches) will not work with this device. Also be sure not to go over the recommended weight limit or risk having the motor assembly bust in half.

You can use the foam mattress. But if by "foundation" you mean a box spring, you do not need this because the bed acts as its own foundation and a rigid box spring would prevent the mattress from flexing and defeat the purpose of this bed's adjustability.

I have the king as well. Side-to-side it fits pretty well, but the foundation is a little longer than the mattress. Make sure you let it air out for a couple days. It's kind of amazing how long they take to fully expand. I Know they say in their literature that the sizes can vary, so take a tape measure after it and see what the dimensions are.

This box foundation does come in queen size. However, it is not a mattress, it is just the foundation that you would place your mattress on top of.

I bought a "Dream On Me 3" Foam Playard Mattress" and it fits just fine. It measures 39" x 27" and the bottom of the playard itself measures about 41" x 27.5". There is a little wiggle room between the sides and the foam mattress, but it is very slight. I kept the included mattress platform on the bottom and put the foam mattress on top layered with a cushiony mattress pad cover (like American Baby Organic Cotton Quilted one). The foam mattress is not as soft as I would have liked, so the quilted mattress pad really helps. Combined, they make a perfect sleeping area. Top that with a soft flannel fitted sheet and I want to crawl in there!

If I understand your question correctly, the foundation would rest on the side rails that currently support your slats. Or, you could just rest this foundation on top of the 5 slats you currently have. I have a regular metal bed frame, which has side rails about 1 1/2" wide upon which the foundation rests. It is quite secure and fits well.

Hi Barbara,We actually bought this for a client who needed some modifications to a memory foam mattress. It fit well for him. There are so many kinds of foam products out there though the key thing is being sure you buy a pad that will fit the depth of your mattress. Measuring should be fairly simple and just be sure to order the right size of pad. Good luck! www.pamelahopedesigns.com

That's exactly how I used it! ;) I have a frame (headboard/footboard/side-rails) and set this inside of it so I could use one of those foam deals as a mattress. It fit perfectly inside and the pair of foam pads (about the same thickness as a normal mattress) worked out just as you would hope. As a side note, however, my son is very autistic and loves jumping on the bed. Unfortunately, with his size and strength, one of the cross-rails broke. That being said, for "normal" use, this thing is quite stout and I would highly recommend it. I hope this helps.

Yes...being used on a full/queen frame with a full size foundation. Works perfectly

I only purchased the regular size, but the slates were about three inches apart. That spacing is no problem with large foam mattresses....8" or more... AND the cover they supply makes the spacing irrelevant... if you needed an absolutely solid foundation, a very thin piece of plywood would work well.

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.

If adjustable base you mean one with the ability to raise the head and feet sections separately I would say possibly, though probably not (it depends on the base). The mattress itself is fairly flexible so bending it is not much of a problem, though it may be too light and would not sit properly if the bed was adjusted. If the adjustable base is built with weak supports and straight bars you might find it uncomfortable (I am thinking of a fold-out bed in a hide away couch here). On the other hand, the mattress is a premium high-density foam mattress and some adjustable bases are designed to work perfectly for these. While the manufacturer recommends you use a flat, solid base or the floor (they do work great if you like minimalist furniture living) I so think that it would work fine for any bed that can use a high-density foam mattress. A good rule of thumb is that if the foam mattresses from IKEA could work in the base, this mattress should also work fine (and cost half as much as the equivalent mattress from there).

This is a foam mattress. It consists of two layers of foam. Top 3 inch layer is nice firm latex foam. The bottom layer is fairly firm foam for support. The benefit and comfort (and price) comes from that nice top layer for firm latex. The two layers are glued together. Understanding that you realize: There are no springs to deform if the mattress is used in an adjustable bed frame. HOWEVER: There is a chance the layers will separate from the movements as you raise and lower parts of the bed frame. Also, that supporting bottom layer is designed to support that 3 inch top layer...it was not put there to be flexible. Basically, what I am saying is this: You can used this mattress in an adjustable frame..but you would be using it for something it was not designed to be used for. It will most likely void the warranty. Other issues: The nice bamboo fabric case it comes in may not hold up to such a frame. Also, they recommend this mattress be used on a platform "slat type" bed frame with support front to back and side to side...in other words a flat board would be the best platform to place this mattress on. I would not put this on an adjustable frame.

I don't have the adjustable base, but brochure that comes with the mattress says it will. The controller will automatically compensate.

Hi,When I received the item it appeared to be really thin as opposed to my previous 9" mattress. After measuring the item, it was only 5". I had to return the item and purchase another mattress.

Hello dunner. Absolutely :-). Any Tempurpedic mattress will work for this adjustable base despite the thickness of this one. Have a great day

This not absolute. Our mattress is approx 9" and it appears to have enough material for at least 2+" additional. You could email the manufactor....

I can't answer that. I'm not sure what kind of adjustable bed you're talking about. Mine lays flat on a foundation.
