Does this work with a bed frame that has wooden slats for support? Also is it OK with a traditional mattress? Some of the reviews mention memory foam

I put it on a metal bed frame with a center support. Should be fine with a traditional mattress. I did use a foam mattress.

I used a regular bed frame and it works perfectly fine for me. I also used a traditional mattress without any problems. Hopefully that helps.

I'm not sure I have the answer you're looking for: I had just purchased a bed frame with the basic metal cross-bars for support (of the frame, I discovered) and a memory foam mattress. I needed this to support the mattress. They work perfectly together.

I have slats on my sleigh bed and the way this is constructed it supports the foam mattress on top on this hunky boards foundation. The frame is very well constructed and the top is a thin solid wood to fully support the mattress. The framing underneath is solid to work on slats

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 use it with a sleep number mattress and it works fine. We just have the standard mattress without the extra padding that some come with and keep a rolled blanket at one end to take up a little extra space. I also like that our mattress stays in place better than it did with the sleep number platform with no head/foot boards. We use the supports provided with the bed instead of sitting the sleep number platform inside of the frame and it feels very sturdy.

I used these three metal slats to replace broken wooden slats on a bed that sounds similar to yours. I left in all the other wooden slats that were not broken. I can't imagine only having the 3 metal slats as support. I feel that the bed would sag and create back pain.

Unless you put a sheet of plywood over it I wouldn't use it for a memory foam mattress. I haven't used it with one, but I have a feeling that the struts across the top would either puncture or sink into the memory foam. What you see is actually a cover that just goes over the frame itself. It's just cloth.

I previously had a foam mattress and the regular box spring DID NOT support it. I bought a slated platform bed frame and am so happy I did. I made a world of difference in the support. Get a good platform bed frame... all are not equal. It creates a nice storage area for roll out storage bins and I am very happy with my mattress and the bed frame set now.

You can use any kind of mattress. I use a box spring and then a memory foam because I wanted to raise the height and give my husband a firmer bed. I could easily use a regular mattress on the box spring. This truly is a fantastic bed and well worth the purchase. There are metal bars across the bottom (so you could just use a memory foam too). It should support any sort of mattress you would like.

This is just a bed frame and does not include a mattress. The slats would be suitable for supporting a memory foam mattress, but the bed would sit pretty low, so expect to use lifters if you want the bed to sit higher.

It is firm enough but not too firm. We have a queen memory foam mattress and they can be pretty heavy. Put this on slats and you should be good to go!

Hi Dan. it depends how thick your memory foam mattress is. if it is normal thick it should not be a problem. I have these thin Ikea mattresses (5 inch thick) and you can feel the slats under you... I need to put a set of special Ikea slats under my mattress so that it will be comfortable or double up on the thin mattress, then it is no problem. Hope this helps.

Yes, it comes with wood slats that support the matress. In combination with my memory foam matress, it's heavenly!

I haven't had a problem using a latex mattress that has a poly foam base directly on the slats. I believe the frame is intended to be used without one. It has a center support that has legs to prevent any sagging. It can also be constructed two different ways depending on your preference of bed height, although the difference is only 3-4 inches. If do put a box spring on, you should expect that the top of the headboard will be almost the same height as your mattress.

No not a problem. But I wouldn't recommend a memory foam mattress, Because when U sit on the edge it gives to much and will make U slide off the bed. Just make sure you get and XL mattress also. The regular one fit ok as long as it lays flat, But when you raise the bed up is when you have a problem with the fit.

I m using a queen size on a queen wooden bed frame instead of a box spring. But I do have wooden slats under it. I would say you should be able to use it the same way you used a box spring on the same bed. If you didn't have any support under the box spring then you probably won't need it under the bunky board. But I can't say for sure because I used slats with the box spring and the bunky board.

It attaches to a regular bed frame but if your mattresses are thick ones, it is a little low with pillows etc. Mine is a little shaky and wiggly, though but the wood is nice and because it's thin, it works well in a smaller room.

I purchased a nice memory foam mattress with no box springs. It works just fine and is a very nice bed. It did come a little scuffed up from shipping but I didnt want the hassle of sending it back. It does come with support slats which are wood. They look flimsy, but surprisingly not at all.
