I have a futon mattress, I'm wondering if this box spring will be comfortable enough to prevent pain from the wooden slat futon frame

Hi Kirsten. Since I use this box spring with 12" memory foam mattress, I can't speak to how comfortable it would be with a futon mattress. I can say, however. that this box spring does have slats as well and with my mattress, I find it very comfortable. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Hmmm, no definitive answer on that. I 've slept on a Futon so I know what you're talking about. I'm on a seraphina 14 inch gel/foam mattress so I'm super comfy. My inclination would be to add a foam gel topper to your futon over this product.

I don't know. We bought it for a 14" gel foam mattress. It's great for that purpose. This is basically a box with wooden slats and a fabric cover. It has no springs or cushioning.

I think it will. I use this box spring in my wooden 4 poster frame beneath a 14 inch memory foam mattress and it works great. It depends on the thickness of your futon I suspect.

no, i have a futon mattress on top of the slats. you cant use a box spring ,it would be taller than the headboard. plus with all that weight the slats will break

Not if you get a good thick mattress. The bed has an adjustment so you can lower the frame to allow a box spring, but it will be money wasted. We got a good thick queen Beauty Rest Mattress and it is great without the box spring.

It's not very thick and is regular foam not the type that conforms to your body. That being said I have used it on a very uncomfortable futon and it helped a lot to make it more comfortable. If the person using it is not very heavy it may work.

We put just the mattress on for the first year or so, but the wood slats that hold the mattress just aren't supportive enough; I was having back and hip pain. We added the box springs and I'm not in pain like I was, but now the mattress is unusually high. If you're short it would be tough to have the box springs on. (I'm 5'7")

I have no problems using a futon mattress on this bed. The slats are spaced about 3.5" apart and give plenty of support.

We use it with an inexpensive metal single flex futon and had no difficulty with it. I have no answer for your frame type. Biggest deal for us was that it was comfortable in either position and you could not feel the frame through it. I weigh around 250 lbs. so this is fairly impressive.

We have ours on a solid plywood base in a camper. It is very comfortable. Because it is foam I think it might do better on a box spring as a frame might let it sag

I use this bed with my box spring and mattress. I have had it for about a year and a half and I have no complaints. I didn't encounter trouble with the slats because I opted not to screw thru them. Those pieces are made for stability which is only needed when shifting the bed but its a king size monster and I have no intention breaking my back trying to move it.

We used this mattress with an existing bed frame from Ikea and it holds it up well. No issue with the wood slatted bed frame; however if the slats are too far apart, it might be an issue.

The correct answer is NO. I bought this mattress for the exact purpose of putting on a futon and am disappointed with the results. Folding up into couch position is fine (the mattress is very squishy) and lying on the mattress in bed form is OK (I weigh 190 lbs and could *maybe* feel the futon slats underneath, but not too bad). The issue is that when folded into couch form and you sit on it *you will feel the slats on your butt*. It is not comfortable. I really wish I'd gotten the 8-inch mattress instead, but I'm not even sure that would have been enough. Edit: My futon is one of the nice wooden ones with lots of slats.

cross-slats are 4" apart. there's a center-beam running up the middle, too. a futon mattress would probably be just fine. if it ends up feeling lumpy, a sheet of plywood could be laid down first. 'hope this helps!

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!

I USE IT ON A TRADITIONAL MATTRESS. IT GIVES ME QUITE COMFORTABLE SLEEP. FOR YOUR FUTON, it depends on how much extra padding you are looking for. This one is not overly deep, but I think there's a 3 inch version (more expensive) if you wanted even deeper padding.

I own this bed and I think you probably do. The frame is a Hollywood frame which would not be very comfortable without a box spring.

Not at all. I put my mattress in a bedbug cover and laid down a skirt for the frame, popped the bed right on top. I even got under the frame with my wife laying on the bed to check if a box spring could prove beneficial and it would probably make the bed sag if you were to use one. The support of the frame is phenomenal, and no box spring would be better. Not to mention you'd need to jump to get into bed with one, the platform is pretty high, and if you use a deep mattress your already pretty high off the ground.

I would think so...Its very comfortable and I do belive it will be fine on your box spring.
