Can I use this without a regular mattress?

This is a mattress topper. Can't imagine it would be comfortable without a mattress.

I had just bought my son an actual foam mattress and it was a bit on the firm side, so I bought this to soften it and it helped a great deal.

Yes, you'll need either a box spring or another foundation of some sort. A mattress would fall through without it.

Yes you can use it without the air mattress that comes with it. The extra added height that air mattress gives it is nice when getting out of bed not to have your knees in your face. Love this cot.

You do not need a mattress. We have our king on a platform bed. But I have a friend who bought hers, on my recommendation, and she uses a box spring, so it can be used either way.

I would definetly not use a a regular box spring. you need a completely flat serface like a couple sheets of ply wood on top of your favorite bed set. its a great matress if you havnt picked it up already and worth way more then what you pay for it. extremely pleased

Yes you can use a regular mattress and absolutely no box spring necessary. I use a 12 inch foam mattress from Costco and its the best sleep I've had. Save yourself a lot of money.

Yes you do, but you can use any kind of box spring with it. I used the one from my regular bed.

No - a mattress isn't necessary. (I think the manufacturer states specifically don't add anything to the set-up.) I used a Carter's bassinet sheet, and that worked perfectly. Other than that, you're good to go!

No. You will need to purchase a mini crib mattress, also known as a portable crib mattress.

Sure. you will likely want to use a heavy duty cover. Also be advised this mattress is very firm.

yes Bonnie you can use your box spring with this mattress, but it will make your bed higher than a regular one ! I like mine that way , enjoy !

It all depends on how high you want the bed. The mattress doesn't require one.

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.

No. You need to purchase a "mini crib" or "portable crib" mattress. A standard crib mattress is much larger.

This does not come with a mattress. A standard crib mattress fits perfectly.

No. There are many options. You will probably need a 4" mattress. And I believe you can find twin size memory foam mattresses as well.

Yes I have a queen Tempurpedic on bottom without a box spring. It's heavy and it's good. Also get xl twin for top.
