do I need a foundation to go with the 14" cool breeze mattress.

Yes you would need a foundation of some sort. I personally purchased an adjustable base and it works great. I demoed a few other high end mattresses before this, and I can say this is great.

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

We have a plywood foundation the mattress is on in our trailer. We still love sleeping on it the best mattress we ever bought.

yes you can..this is a very durable frame/foundation. well worth the money and can def support a foam mattress.

no you don't need a special mattress. I have a divan so it was placed on the bottom layer. If you have a spring bed or one that uses board then you can get a piece of ply board or any board of your choice then put the genie on it for support, then of course place your mattress. Hope that answers your question......... be blessed

It is critically important to use a good solid foundation, rather than a box spring with Memory foam mattresses. I've had a bedinabox mattress for 5 years. I love it, and i recently tried it on a box spring after another memory foam bed needed a foundation. Now this bedinabox mattress dumps me out of bed if I get near the edge, because the box spring sags when I do. Get the very good bedinabox oak foundation...

There are slatted foundations available. maybe this would suit your needs. I bought this mattress and mold developed on it within 30 days. It is supposed to be mold resistant. They sai I voided the warranty by letting mold grow on the mattress. Their warranty is a joke

For this mattress you don't need anything under it. I've got this mattress simply on a platform frame.

My mattress is by itself on a futon frame. Other reviewers have no box spring. Softness is fully adequate, but one is fully aware of the general firmness due to no box spring. No you do not need a box spring.Amazon offers several very inexpensive frames.

Absolutely, although it may be a little on the firm side that way. It's not much thinner than a typical mattress without the box spring foundation.

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 2 of these (one king, one queen) and while I'm terribly happy with it, I wouldn't consider using it without a frame.You can pick up an inexpensive metal frame at Sams Club or Wal Mart for around $30. The foundation really needs support along the edges. You could probably make something sturdy enough with dimensional lumber but by the time you got done, you'd be pretty close to the same price as the metal frame.

I use this mattress on a platform bed. The foundation on my bed is wood. I love my mattress.

My review is for the original foundation. It has a wire network of support. The new Elite has replaced the wires with wide metal slats and increased the weight capacity. Either is fine. I use a bed skirt with mine and a regular mattress. I believe your all foam one would be fine with either as long as you use a bed skirt so the mattress is not touching the metal. If you want a completely flat surface you could place a 1/4 sheet of plywood on the foundation and then the mattress on that. I jope this info helps

This mattress only require a flat and secure foundation. This includes a traditional box spring, a slatted bed frame, or even the floor-just as long as it is resting on a flat and secure area.

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.

I currently have mine on a storage foundation from Ikea that uses slats. As long as the slats aren't far apart on the platform bed, this mattress should be fine.
