What are you supposed to put this on top of? As I understand it, the warranty is voided by putting it on a platform or box foundation....

Platform Metal Bed Frame &lt;-------- type that in at walmart, (or elsewhere), and depending on size will only cost between $60 - $120. i've had this bed on it for 2 years now. it is what this type of bed frame is made for. the latex must be able to breathe, it is not intended to be put on a box spring, it may possibly grow mold in doing so.

We put it on a motion bed for mom and it is doing fine (5 months). We have had a latex mattress on our platform bed for 16 years with no problem. You could put it on a box spring if you are not sure. It is a great mattress!

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

The instructions specifically state: Quote "The rack is not covered under warranty if mounted on the back of a trailer or fifth wheel." end quote.... Not much ambiguity in that statement ! and while I have a 2" mfg installed hitch, it wobbles side to side terribly (even WITH StowAway Cargo Carriers Hitch Tightener ). So it's the bike rack itself... while the mount is firm, the fold up connections and main crossbar has too much play in it... will try to replace the push pins with bolts to see if that helps, but not optimistic !

Not sure we had a box spring we just put it on top of that. No problems. It is a good mattress.

dump it on the ground. My spa cracked after 1 year and the company will not respond to my request for repairs/replacement. Buy a brand name spa from a local company- or throw your money away on this piece of crap.

I called them when delivered months ago ,explaining it was meant to lay atop a low, tight, burnt sienna pile. They said no problem and there hasn't been. You might call the manufacturer to insure your carpet is OK. Take care.

The information that came with the mattress indicated a box spring, or a serta foam mattress base should be used, it shouldn't be on a solid surface. We used our old box spring.

Platform. I don't think you're supposed to use a standard box spring. Either a "base" or a platform bed. It also says never lay them on the floor. ?!? But seriously this is my second one. We upsized to a king. I wouldn't trade them for anything.

I says somewhere... I think on the instructions that come with it that it should not be used with a box spring. It should be used with a platform bed or slats like IKEA beds have.

You'll need a box spring, for sure. It is literally a piece of foam. A very COMFORTABLE piece of foam, and I love it, but it needs a box spring or a wooden platform.

Can you turn it up to high? I'm sure you've already done that, but thought I'd put it out there just in case. Also, is it too low, too high (I believe directions say about 3 feet off the ground) or too far away? Make sure it's pointing in the right direction. If all of those things are in place and it still doesn't seem to work, box it up and return it for a new one. Amazon has a great return policy. Maybe you got a dud.

No, infact, I had it on the ground for a few days. Then I bought a raised platform bed. The bed needs a very solid support foundation and most people tend to have a box spring on hand from a previous bed. I say it's all up to you.

The bottom of the unit is foam insulation, so the unit appears to need uniform support whether on the ground, wood grid platform, deck or concrete pad. We built a frame on the ground about 6" high and filled it with gravel for uniform support. You could put it directly on the ground but rain splash or tub overflows might take their toll by allowing water to seep in underneath and eventually cause rot or corrosion. I recommend lifting it up a bit to allow drainage and prevent water damage underneath. Please note while making your raised area or platform - the tub dimensions are not correct. They are actually: 60" by 68" at the base. Our 'platform' was the wrong size because we built it ahead of time based on the spec dimensions advertised. Otherwise -we love the tub.

If you put lay plywood on top of the box spring, it works fine. I believe it has to have a solid surface (the plywood) under it for the warranty to be good. We have two foam matresses..one tempurpedic and,the Dynasty, and both are on box springs covered by plywood. We love the Dynasty mattress.

You put it on the foam or gel mattress as shown in the picture. I wouldn't put it directly on a box spring or the frame because it is a balloon in essence and you would have puncture issues. Hope this helped

You certainly need some type of support structure. If you have a platform bed, then you do not need a box spring. If you only have a frame, you need a support structure, the most common being a box spring. I mean you could use a piece of plywood provided there was enough support. Personally, I bought a box spring and a frame.

Yes, Just read the fine Print. My warranty covers it if I even accidentally drop it. I believe this may be one of the best warranties around.

I would recommend getting an egg crate to put on top of it. This futon is very hard. I've had people complain about sleeping on it for one night.
