Will this work with an air mattress, such as Sleep Number, Comfortaire, etc? Does the foundation creak or is it otherwise noisy? Is it sturdily built?

I bought a sleep number bed and needed a foundation. No creeks. My wife and I are not the lightest people either. I think it was built very well.

I am quite pleased with mine. It has more vertical supports than others ... we had another foundation that was very similar to this one prior to ordering this one. This foundation has the outside vertical then 2 spaced evenly, whereas the other only had the outside then 1 in the middle. I don't notice it creaking or any noise. The slats are all nicely cut and built correctly. We did add some additional screws just to add more stability, but they might not have been needed. In comparing this foundation to the one we had previously, it is much much better and it was half the price. I'm not positive on the air mattress thing, but it works great for my latex mattress.

It doesn't creak, but it is not very sturdy in my opinion. It came looking a lot more clunky than in the picture. You self assemble and the wood May not fit perfectly to the other pieces causing for a not so sturdy build.

The pump that you use to blow it up is quite loud. It is powerful and works quickly - barely t60 seconds to blow it up, so I don't think it is any big deal. However, if you have a sleeping little one, you might think it is a big deal if the pump wakes him/her up. Once the air mattress is blown up, it is not loud. You just lay down on it and go to sleep.

Yes it would be fine. It is an amazing air mattress and well worth the price!

Less noise than my other, cheaper brand that won't inflate a balloon. It does make some noise, but it is a smooth, constant pumping. The unit doesn't vibrate excessively or wobble around on the floor or anything. I think these small, portable units are all kind of loud while they are working.

I did and it worked fine. Daughter brought friends home for an extended visit and I set up the den with air mattress on frame. Worked!

It glides very quietly but I do feel that it is creaky when I stand up. I'm not a huge person or anything so I don't know why it groans and creaks when I stand up but it would wake a baby if you were trying to keep them asleep.

I have not spent the night on this, but I have laid on it. It is very thick, with a padded top. In my experience with inferior air mattresses, side-sleeping makes contact with the floor through the mattress. That cannot happen with this one. It's about 2 feet thick.

no it needs a flat support like a foundation or even plywood base. i just bought a foundation for a mattress store. it worked perfect

Yes, this will work well with a foam mattress, I bought this in combination with a Sleep Innovations 12 inch memory foam mattress and there is no support issue, the supports are not slats, but more of a grid pattern that leaves no room for sagging.

Hi, I live in a one story home...but I do the tread climber at 4 am and no one in my house has complained about the noise. We put foam puzzle mats under it so that it would not damage the floor so this may be helping too. Note: we keep our house pretty cool about 63 degrees. It takes the shocks a few minutes to warm up so it is a little bit clunky at first. Also this thing has wheels but is extremely heavy once it is put together so moving it up and downstairs if you move will take two grown strong men. But this is not a bad thing because it feels sturdy when supporting the weight of my 300 lb husband, some machine we have had in the past feel flimsy.

I use a very thick air mattress along with a topper....maybe not quite as thick as it would be with a box spring and mattress but think it would be close. I have a dust ruffle on mine.

My frame squeaks because it is on hardwood flooring. I think it may have that "springy" sound if only on carpet. Honestly it's not bad at all. I sleep just fine on it. :)

Definitely not a quiet fan, so if you are looking for noise this should work. We take it on trips for the same reason.

Yes, it works out just fine. Never any problems at all with the air, it keeps the mattress the way you aired it up. In fact the person who slepted on it was 250. So I hope this answers your question.

I used it for an air mattress for several months. No problem. I might have put a blanket or bedspread under the mattress to be safer, but I don't think that was necessary.

Nice and sturdy. But I dont know about an air mattress..I'd probably cover it with something first.

Well, if by "very active" you mean sex, then it's just fine but I wouldn't advise running around and bouncing up and down on the mattress :) I use mine with a 12" memory foam mattress and the only noises being made came from she and I during our "very active moments." So, I think it might really have more to do with how much noise you make, the type of mattress on the frame and what kind of surface it's on. I wouldn't suggest putting it directly on a hard wood flooring or any solid surface. You definitely want a rug or carpet between the legs and the floor.
