I see a lot of people with memory foam mattresses...is this sturdy enough for a regular spring mattress?

Yes. I have a regular mattress. Actually, a regular mattress weighs a lot less than a memory foam mattress!

I have a 12in memory foam and there is no need for additional support. Might depend on how thick your mattress is but most likely you won't need anything else.

The Base is not as solid as it should be ...we didnt buy a box spring , and we noticed that the sides of our memory foam mattress were sort of sinking . My Husband reinforced the base with a wood plank and now it's fine / BTW it's a Beautiful Bed

Its a solid piece. No slats. I would think it should be fine for a memory foam mattress

We have a king size foam mattress with double box springs underneath. Very sturdy so far and no squeaking or shakiness. Highly recommend. I weigh about 220 and my wife 130.

Hello Jerold, I purchased this bed & I love it. It supports my back tremendously. I have mild athritis & it helps relieve all my neck & back pains. I am pretty sure this memory foam mattress will withstand any weight since it's flexibly cushiony that sinks to ur shape & weight. It has no weight limits as long as u aren't rough in bed if u know what I mean lol jk It's an amazing comfortable bed for any shape size or weight. Hope u enjoy this bed. Best wishes, CC

I have a large queen and it is perfectly sturdy. I have not had a problem with it yet.

You'll definitely need to purchase some sort of foundation. We got a box spring but I think one of the more solid foundations that are made for a memory foam mattress would have been a better choice.

Unless you put a sheet of plywood over it I wouldn't use it for a memory foam mattress. I haven't used it with one, but I have a feeling that the struts across the top would either puncture or sink into the memory foam. What you see is actually a cover that just goes over the frame itself. It's just cloth.

Yes, it is very sturdy, mine hold 400lbs. As another person stated a feeling of the rails, this is solved by having a quality 3" air mattress

I have memory foam mattress, it's bit harder then regular foam mattresses and it works. Eventually I'll use it on the floor when I'll get use to it more. Thanks!

It seems pretty sturdy to me. Keep in mind that adding a mattress will add height, and kids grow fast. Personally, I don't see why you would need anything in addition to a good mattress.

It's a very sturdy bed. I use a memory foam mattress and have had no issues

yes -- I used the thing everyday (I'm about 220lbs) -- and it is probably one of the most comfortable mattresses I've ever had. I slept on this everyday for about 4 months, then one night a baffle in the middle broke, and it had a huge lump in it, that couldn't be slept on anymore.

We put ours on our old box springs, but I'm going to put some plywood. I think it would be best.The memory foam mattress is very comfortable, but I think it would be better for the life of the mattress.

I've been using it pretty heavily and I don't think that will happen. The spring is plenty stiff and the foam does not have a slick surface, so even if it compresses over time it should continue to hang on.

I couldn't imagine that a memory foam mattress would hold up enough on the planks alone unless you used a box spring underneath. My boys are on spring mattresses and the have held up.
