Can I use this mattress with a wooden platform bed with horizontal wooden slats?

I don't see a problem. I would probably lie a couple pieces of plywood on top just to be safe.

I am using a slatted base and it works fine. I was worried about the foam bending through the slats, but it has not. I should also mention that I kept a clean piece of cardboard from the interior of the box that the mattress shipped in, and put this piece of cardboard under where our bodies go. It seems to have done the trick - and for free!

If the slats are closely placed it shouldn't be a problem-if they're more than a few inches apart I'd get a piece of plywood or other foundation to lay over them.

I'm not sure whether you can or not. I have mine on a box spring. My advice to you would be to call the company. They are very helpful.

My guess would be yes. The mattress weighs 86 lbs which is less than a normal mattress of the same size. I have seen on a memory foam mattress site that the slats should not be separated by more than 3 inches. If the slats are wider you could place a piece of plywood on top of the slats or provide more slats. Hope this helps.

Yes, this is the set up that I have with this mattress. You may wish to read my review of this mattress. I've not been satisfied.

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

We have ours over a piece of plywood which works well but i think wooden slats would be just fine if, as one of the reviewers said, they are fairly close together.

I was told that you could when I bought the box spring from Sleep Country. I was going to buy a platform bed with slats but decided not to be because the bed was to low.

We are using it with the Nordli bed from Ikea with the bottom of the line basic bed slats with no issues.

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.

I did not simply because with the box spring on top of the platform frame slats the bed was about 4 1/2 feet off the ground. so we just put it directly onto the slats... if you purchase just be careful during construction as some of the wood is kind of thin and soft so screws can shred or tear if you have to screw in/unscrew and screw again

The bed itself contains bowed bamboo slats, which serve as a box spring. I wouldn't recommend trying to use another box spring. The bed should be ready for a mattress when you receive it.

If you have a platform bed I would say no. We use it on my sons bed & it's a platform. It is still in great shape & I've slept on it with him & it's comfortable.

No, it has wood slats, so you can just set a mattress on top like a normal platform bed.

I added my box spring for height, however the slats are close together I imagine that if the foam mattress is thick enough it would be fine.

i too have a platform bed with slats and bought a box foundation,this system works great, no squeaking and your mattress is raised 8 inches i would recommend buying

your slats will be fine. i have my mattress on a trundle, which is very similar. i also have another foam mattress on Ikea slats, so you're good. (y)

I don't see why not. My mattress lies directly on a wooden base which would be the same as a wooden floor and if feels perfectly comfortable.

Yes, it would work fine. You only need the box spring with this mattress if you have one of the old style metal frames that only goes around the outside of the box spring.

No the wooden slats that come from the bed are sufficient enough. In fact if u use a box spring then the mattress will be too high.

I suppose you could if you laid a piece of ply wood on the frame first. But I would not put just a queen mattress on this frame, I would only do that with a twin mattress.

I secured my mother's to the boxspring below her twin mattress...so it depends on the sturdiness and design of the wood platform, I suppose--there is quite a bit strap(s) to work with but I don't know the measurements of your platform. The best I can do is have you compare to a twin size boxspring. The product is very well made, by the way.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use the box spring. I'm using two painted pallets for my xl twin bed. Enjoy your bed.

I bought mine for a trundle bed (which has a wooden base), not sure slats would support the 6 " thickness of this mattress. Why not add a 1/4 " piece of plywood for added support. A friend of mine spent the night on that mattress and wants to buy one for her bed.

No. The mattress is plenty high enough and platform beds weren't meant to have both boxspring and mattress.
