What are you supposed to put this on top of? As I understand it, the warranty is voided by putting it on a platform or box foundation....

Platform Metal Bed Frame &lt;-------- type that in at walmart, (or elsewhere), and depending on size will only cost between $60 - $120. i've had this bed on it for 2 years now. it is what this type of bed frame is made for. the latex must be able to breathe, it is not intended to be put on a box spring, it may possibly grow mold in doing so.

We put it on a motion bed for mom and it is doing fine (5 months). We have had a latex mattress on our platform bed for 16 years with no problem. You could put it on a box spring if you are not sure. It is a great mattress!

There are slatted foundations available. maybe this would suit your needs. I bought this mattress and mold developed on it within 30 days. It is supposed to be mold resistant. They sai I voided the warranty by letting mold grow on the mattress. Their warranty is a joke

You should definitely have a base for it we put it on a bed frame with storage underneath so we didn't need the box spring but if you don't have a sturdy bed frame then I would recommend a box spring.I really hope this helps!

We bought the frame and all, we also kept our box spring and placed it on top. It moves around and we have to slide the Heavy thing around without moving the box spring. (Can't be done, so we fuss over the thing once a week.)

I've had this wonderful mattress for about 6 months so far and I just placed it on top of my old box spring with no issues at all. I believe you can buy a special base for these mattresses but I couldn't afford it at the time and now don't see a need for it.

Not sure we had a box spring we just put it on top of that. No problems. It is a good mattress.

foam mattresses should be placed on a flat surface such as plywood or a platform bed. it is better NOT to use a box spring.

My guess is that the material is not sticking to the platform. Try preheating it.

I Loved this island until my top cracked too. The crack didn't appear until about 6 months. The crack kept spreading and now it is about a foot across. I never contacted the company though. As far as the warranty, I would have to locate my papers on that. I still get many compliments on it. It's a shame that so many of the tops are cracking. The Powell company needs to address this problem and somehow change their proceedure to eliminate this flaw in the product. Good luck!

Truthfully, I don't know. See if it is under warranty, maybe you could get it replaced. If you can't that way, then see if the company can send you another top.The only other thing I can think of, is going to an actual marble, granite, stone company.

I suppose you could purchase a box spring and frame and then, place this on top if you want it to function more like a traditional bed. I don't think that is how it is meant to be used but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work.

Send him an email or contact Amazon about your issue, they will take care of it. If you've only had it for a month or so, just call Amazon and explain, i've never had a problem with them taking care of my problems. If you bought it from DesertOasis, you should've got an email from them after your purchase explaining how to assemble it and also how to contact them for assistance. Let me know if i can be of further help...Darryl

We have our's on a box spring, but a platform will work just a well. Enjoy!!!

You put it on the foam or gel mattress as shown in the picture. I wouldn't put it directly on a box spring or the frame because it is a balloon in essence and you would have puncture issues. Hope this helped

I suppose you could put a boxspring on top of it, as long as the boxspring and the mattress did not slide around each other. The way it's designed though, you don't need a boxspring. The boards/slats have some flexibility. Mine is very comfortable with just a mattress.

The instructions specifically state: Quote "The rack is not covered under warranty if mounted on the back of a trailer or fifth wheel." end quote.... Not much ambiguity in that statement ! and while I have a 2" mfg installed hitch, it wobbles side to side terribly (even WITH StowAway Cargo Carriers Hitch Tightener ). So it's the bike rack itself... while the mount is firm, the fold up connections and main crossbar has too much play in it... will try to replace the push pins with bolts to see if that helps, but not optimistic !

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but having a dresser or any other heavy object within the buyer's control fall on the product is probably not going to be covered by any warranty. Generally, warranties cover manufacturing or design defects--things outside the control of the purchaser. But the situation you describe is like buying a car, running into a light pole with it, then trying to get your warranty to cover the damage. If you let some heavy object (a dresser, for Ba'al's sake!) fall on your computer then the fault and cost of repair is all yours. I doubt that the seller will send you a new one if you give that reason for the warranty coverage request. Make sure, before you start buying parts--and from the situation you describe, you will have to buy them out of pocket--that you know for sure what's broken. The MacBook Pro I purchased this LCD for had two components to the display--the LCD display panel itself, and a tough plexiglass cover that is stuck in place with a powerful adhesive. If you see cracks but still see a clear picture behind the cracks, then it sounds like your LCD panel is undamaged but the protective cover is cracked. If so, the part is a bit cheaper (~$30 for the plexiglas cover vs $40-60 for the display panel itself) but you must be very careful about replacing it. It's easy to crack and destroy the LCD while replacing its protective cover. I've done it myself. So make sure which part you need, purchase accordingly, then either be very slow and careful about replacement or pay a qualified tech to do it for you. Apple computers are wonderful, absolutely the highest quality machines available, and are worth spending a little money on to keep them going. But once you get up into the $500+ range you might want to start looking for another (used or refurbished) Apple rather than simply driving on with whatever you have now. Good luck with your machine.

We used a box spring for our mattress. I have found the mattress that we purchased did not hold it's shape, as soon as you get into the bed you sink into the same spot you laid in the prior night as the many nights before that, do good research on this mattress, I tried to return mine after a year and was told that there was no warranty on the mattress, which was a surprise as I thought there was a 5 year warranty. DO your research before purchasing.... Not happy with the mattress that we purchased at all.
