I tried to put my mattress on the frame, but the mattress keeps falling down if you sleep on it. Do i need to put a board on the frame first?

Did have a box spring? If not amazon has a different frame for mattress only

We have not had any issues. Your frame should not keep falling down. I recommend making sure it was installed correctly first and then if you still have issues, call the manufacturer. No board should be needed.

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 actually have not put ours together yet, but i think we have not because we DO need to get either a box spring or wood slats to add underneath the mattress. I believe the inside of the frame is completely empty.

A frame will do fine. Or just a flat surface. The mattress does it all. I'm sure you will pleased with comfort. Mattresses don't get any better than Sleep Master, at any cost. jim killian April 29, 2013

You don't have to use a box spring, but the wood holding up the mattress is not sufficient enough in terms of strength to hold up the average mattress. You should place additional pieces of wood on the frame or get a flat piece of wood cut to the length and with of the are in which the bed will be placed. Put it over the wood to brace the mattress.

Go to home depot and have them 5 cut 1x4 the width of the bed frame, spread them evenly between the space and then put the mattress back in the bed. The wood slates will support the bed and the problem is solved. The only other option is to buy a set of box springs but that will make the bed to high.it should be cut 5 board the width of the bed, the best board to use are 1x 4's

Should be on the flat board that lays under mattress its glued there so you always have it. If not try here http://www.deltachildren.com/help-center/assembly-instructions

Nope you should be fine it is fairly smooth and def sturdy enough. You could always lay something down on top of frame such as piece of plywood then soft sheet or blanket over that then air mattress on top and you def would have no problems. I've seen then cheaper less sturdier frame in person, make sure you get this one the sleep master elite IMO.

You don't need anything. The board is wide enough to fit right on the side rails. If you want extra support, since you only have side rails, add 3 or 4 wooden planks eventually spaced down first, then the board. That's what I had to do on one bed and it works great. Hope this answers your question and concern.

I fold the frame and slip the folded mattress inside the folded frame and then into the cover. You can't fold the frame and mattress together.

I put a foam mattress in this frame originally. It was a bit of a squeeze, but it did go in and stay there. I gave that mattress to my granddaughter and put her old spring mattress in the frame. Again, it was a bit of a squeeze, but it too went in pretty easily.

I have a memory foam mattress on the frame, which is 14 1/2" off the floor, making the total height 21" off the floor. It would be your own preference to use a box spring, however, it is not necessary. If you already have a box spring, try sleeping on the frame without it. Then make your decision. I get a great night's sleep without a box spring.

I used a frame and put supports down and then covered that with a sheet of plywood. The mattress cannot sit independently on a frame, it is too soft. My daughter has a similar mattress and we have a box spring under it. Both ways seem to work fine so I would simply choose whichever costs less.

thanks a bunch for your reply. I think i'm going to get the bed frame along with a thicker memory foam mattress.

U need a specific frame. I wish I would have known this before I purchased the bed.

You can use a box spring with the Sleep Master frame. However, since the top of the frame is 14 inches, it is already at the standard height of a frame and box spring, so putting a box spring on top would increase the height of your mattress by whatever the thickness of your box spring is. We tried it just to see how high it would be, and for us it was just too high.

I just purchased the queen size foam mattress. I have a platform bed frame. Will it be okay on that or do I need to purchase something else with this mattres to be able to sleep on it and acquire great sleep?

I would highly recommend that you place a solid surface between the mattress and the frame. Thick cardboard would suffice. Then place a thick blanket over the solid layer under the mattress. The frame can be sharp if not padded or covered.
