I would like to purchase this bed but I am worried about the recent reviews? I have a new foam mattress and am worried it will not be strong enough?

I would probably not recommend putting a foam mattress on this bed. Love this bed for my little girl but have to caution that it's like buying something from ikea. You have to put everything together.

My 7 year old uses this bed with a foam mattress and we have had no issues. Are you concerned about being able to feel the bars? because you can not.

I am extremely happy with my purchase. I was worried at first but so far I am glad I took the chance. This is by far the best mattress I have owned. I have tried Ikea, Simmons, Beautyrest, etc. I did build my own box spring and put in extra support. I believe that helps also. I cant speak for the bed you are talking about but I have purchased a few Ikea beds and all have been slated bed base which didnt provide enough support for my back. All I can do is vouch for the mattress. It is excellent but I suppose that if it doesnt have a good platform to be on it will probably give.

We have a foam mattress right on the bed without any problems so far. I wouldnt think u would need one unless it was for an older child.

The mattress would definitely work for you, the frame though may not I'm about 200lbs and it creeks a little when I move. I definitely wouldn't jump on to the bed lol. I'm not thrilled with how the frame was made it doesn't have a whole lot of support bars like I thought it did. I will say that I've had 2 kids on the bed at one time with me and it hasn't broken, one was 150lbs and the other 100lbs. So it may be okay. You can find other frames on here for pretty cheap. Or you can check sleepys and when they have a sale buy a frame. The have really good deals. This mattress is wonderful though so its worth buying it for just this part.

A good base maybe sinc it is very thick & heavy. By base, i mean it should be something sturdy enough to hold the weight of both the mattress and the person using it. CBag is right, platform frame or slats are good options.

My grand baby is not here yet, although I have raised 4 kids and the firmness of the mattress seems appropriate to me for a newborn and older child. In reading reviews for the foam mattress I thought there were too many comments about the foam one being hard like the pack and play bottom. I was trying to provide something more comfortable than this while remaining safe.

The mattress is pretty decent. One Amazon customer suggested I get a memory 2 inch foam mattress, which I did, but it was too thick to fold in the stored ottoman (2 inches- 4pounds- total weight was 11 pounds- really good quality). I got a really good memory foam mattress, which may have been the problem. It might work if you get a thinner mattress. We've stored the extra memory foam mattress, for now, but will pull it out if heavier guests feel like they need it. For now, we don't feel like we need it. We cannot feel the bar, and the mattress that comes in the ottoman is a memory foam mattress, and is pretty comfortable. The mattress is pretty decent.

Ive had mine for a good nine mounths now, and two people weighing about 160 sleep on it nightly and i haven't noticed any flatning. When i was doing my research for which bed to buy i. Had heard a lot of companies were doing a bait and switch, they would sell really good matress for a while, build up a good rating, and then start selling crap ones to make more of a profet. So just be careful with as to whome you buy it from, and to read ALL of their reviews to see if they played any said games with people.

You can try...I had to re-enforce the middle support. it was cheap and flimsy and honestly broke within days. I think it would look a little funky to have the box spring under the mattress on this bed. it's made to be used without a box spring.

I would suggest asking the company directly. We have several (nine) which have held up very well. Our three dogs love them, and our older GSD really seems to appreciate the quality of the foam used. None have shown any signs of deterioration. They arrive odor free, and the covers wash well. These are the best dogs beds we've found over 25-30 years, bar none.

The people at Linenspa are very helpful. Call them 800 560-9239 and ask about weight limit. In my research about buying memory foam I read that 400+ lbs weight should buy at least 12 or 14 in. mattress with at least 7 inches of support foam. This mattress has 8 inches support foam.You might also want to look at their 14 and 16 inch mattresses. Also, I think it might make a difference as to what kind of base you are going to use whether it be box spring or platform. Ask them. They'll tell you.As far as any indention I have not had a problem so far but may over time. I plan on turning it every couple of weeks 180 degrees. The people at Linenspa are very helpful.

It is a sturdy bed but as others have mentioned, you would probably have to reinforce the frame with more wooden slats. Our bed has a box spring and the bed is really sturdy. I love this bed but I would suggest that you use a box spring or be ready to reinforce the area where the mattress will be.

Its could be difficult if its not fitted up properly. My experience is that the material can be easily broken with too heavy a weight on it. I suggest buyers should check out the type of material this bed is made from before they buy it!

I would not recommend this mattress. It is not going to hold up over time. We haven't had ours for a year yet and it's dented in some places, very uncomfortable. Was fantastic for about a month.

Yes, definitely...just make sure you've got enough slats to support it properly. (BTW, this is a *great* mattress!!)

I can't see why it would not hold up. It is a dense memory foam that is 10 inches thick. Between my hubby and I we are around 500 pounds combined and there has been no problem with us sleeping on the mattress.
