Has anyone used this with a Memory Foam Mattress? I don't need the triple-fold couch option, but putting the top third up for reading would be nice

Unless you have a very thin mattress, it probably won't stay folded. I found with mine, trying to keep the top third up only makes the mattress slide down so that it's sitting on the flat part. I have a 10 inch futon mattress.

I have put a memory foam top for a queen sized bed on mine for when people sleep over. It is only about 3" thick, but you cannot fold it when the additional foam is on top, but makes it a much better bed. The trifold is quite stiff, and I think if you were to put it on top of a memory foam mattress it would eliminate any benifit of the memory foam, but you could tilt it up for an elevated reading position. Hope this helps.

I am using a slatted base and it works fine. I was worried about the foam bending through the slats, but it has not. I should also mention that I kept a clean piece of cardboard from the interior of the box that the mattress shipped in, and put this piece of cardboard under where our bodies go. It seems to have done the trick - and for free!

I would recommend getting some Otis grip strps, this will help in keeping the mattress in place. I am very happy with the tri fold futon. Our mattress sticks up higher on the back, but does not fold over. I'm guessing it would depend on the type and quality of your mattress.

I have memory foam mattress, it's bit harder then regular foam mattresses and it works. Eventually I'll use it on the floor when I'll get use to it more. Thanks!

This functions like a bedframe and box spring in one. I put my memory foam mattress directly on it, (with only a bedskirt between for aesthetic purposes). It really does add the same support you would get from a box spring; I must admit I have been impressed with it.

If your surface is flat it works well. It doesn't hold up if on a pillow top mattress while reading.

You won't be able to hide this mattress in the couch. You'll have to store it elsewhere and just lay it on top when you need it. It's way to bulky to fold. But yes, it's very comfortable.

I have an off brand Tempurpedic (memory foam) mattress that I use with the box spring. I mainly use the box spring because I would have nowhere else to store the box spring and I like the added height to the bed.

I haven't tried it but yes, you just have to leave enough space between the mattress and the wall to allow the part that will become the back rest to lean back and stay up. Also, the seat will be pretty low to the ground.Right now I have all three sections folded against the walls with two standard pillows as a backrest, I love it!

IF you are just using it as a bed I don't see why not, if it's folding into a couch, maybe not, matress may be too thick, I think they make memory foam mattresses just for futons though .

No, unless you don't want to use the built in support. I have just a memory foam mattress sitting on top of the cross boards it comes with and it works great.

I use this bed with a memory foam. I have been using this bed for 6 months, so far I haven't seen any problem.

It's a good, supportive foundation. I'm no mattress expert, but don't see any reason why this box spring would not be a good fit for memory foam.

Yes you can that is what I have on it right now.I was a little leery because of the spacing, so I put down the cardboard that the foam mattress came in on top of the frame.Every once in a while I have to slide mattress around,but no big deal.They say you do not have to use anything on top but I figure better save then sorry.

I had the same concern and i get what you are saying. After 1-1.5 months of use with my memory foam mattress , i have not found this to be an issue. The frame supports the mattress nicely. This thing squeaks like anything though!

Many people experience difficulty as I learned when I read the reviews. In my case, to fold the mattress into couch position, I first placed the frame in couch position mode, next I pushed on the center of the mattress where the frame folds at, lastly I just sat on it after that so it could assume its new shape. Do not worry though because if you put it into bed position than it will easily fold out, the mattress is very thick. Once you push it in the center just adjust it by sliding up the rear of the mattress to match or nearly match the height of your frame. It is very thick and it does not fit on my frame perfectly, but it works great. Hope this makes sense. Many people experience difficulty as I learned when I read the reviews.

I think this memory foam topper can alleviate the sag in a memory foam mattress decently because the sag will distribute more evenly. However, I think it might be a waste to use on a spring mattress if the sag is pretty severe. I still notice the sag in my mattress even though it has this topper. Just make sure to rotate/flip your mattress often.
