What does the mattress rest on? Wooden slats or wired base?

Wired base but I also cut part of the cardboard box it shipped in so the mattress would rest on the cardboard and the cardboard on the wire per recommendation in the directions. Sturdy crib. I recommend lowering to the lowest height in order to avoid doing that late. My baby is a tall one so I had to lower it sooner than I thought. But the lowest height keeps them safe, she is 30 inches tall at 9 months.

I used a platform bed frame that has multiple slats and no need for a box spring. It is firm and very comfortable, perfect for that platform bed.

It all depends of where the bed needs support. If the spring box and mattress warp in the center you could probably place a piece 12" x 12" of 3/4 thickness plywood in the center underneath the spring box, but make sure a board of the spring box rests on it. If the mattress does not warp in the center and your spring box is firm, but your slats are weak you would have to place a support in the center of each one. hope this helps.

I have a slatted bed frame, similar to an Ikea bed frame and no, you do not need a box spring. I agree with another reviewer that this mattress is very firm and I also have put a topper over it. I'm not a heavy person but when I sleep on my side, I can feel the slats on the bottom of the bed on my hips. I don't have this problem any more with the topper but it was an extra expense I wasn't expecting.

I put my futon mattress directly on the slats, without adding any plywood or anything else. I find that the bed frame is able to support the futon mattress very well and is very comfortable. I was very pleased with this frame which I have been using for about 2 years.

I am using a foam mattress without a board. Plenty of slats provide all the support needed.

it has the slats along the side. I used 550 cord and attached it to my molle vest.

We layed the mattress on a platform bed with slats that are 3in apart however I would recommend having lowes cut a piece of plywood and lay that on top of the slats.

I have three of these mattresses. Each are on slats. You can use box springs just fine. As to advice on which one, sorry, but I'm not a fan of box springs so I can't help there.

We used a bunky board at one time, and also just wood slats (make sure there are enough) and it worked just fine. Excellent mattress, but it's KEY to rotate it.

I have installed my mattress onto an existing steel frame.To insure adequate support I installed 2 pieces of 3/4 inch plywood cut to size( sanded one side or padded with an old blanket).Be sure to check for sharp edges on the steel frame and tape or pad to prevent cutting. The idea here is to provide support for the mattress along its whole bottom surface; I would assume wood slats, with proper padding, would work also but you would have to install a lot of them.

Get any platform frame to rest the mattress directly on the frame. You don't need a box mattress.

I guess that would be up to the user. I don't like bedframes, so we always had the mattress on the floor. With this mattress we are using a boxspring with no frame. It is VERY heavy all by itself, but it is SO worth the money! It's probably not a good idea to use this mattress on a wire frame due to it's weight alone. Hope this helps.

There are plenty of slats on the bed but you might want to consider how thick the foam mattress is

There are no slats with this design. On the inside of the bed there are a couple crossmembers & supports for 2 big sheets of PDF board that support the mattress. I've had no sagging or issues with mine at all.

I would probably put a sheet of at least half inch plywood on top of the slats for support because mattress isn't that supportive alone

It works with both. If you use a box spring it makes the bed really high though. I haven't tried it without but it does have slats for the mattress.
