Did you put the bed on box springs or platform?

We have a platform bed, so we were never going to use a box spring, even if it was recommended. We first tried the mattress without any support, other than the wood slats that were attached to the base of the platform bed. It was ok, but my wife wanted to get "bunky boards", because she didn't think we had even support. These hard, thin boards made a huge difference. They are maybe 1.5/2" thick. It's a perfect solution, if you don't want to raise your bed up with a box spring, which I would never use with this mattress. The wood slats on a platform bed would be fine, depending on how they are attached, however. Our slats just don't seem to be sturdy even for some reason. I hope this helps.

We haven't yet, and find this is a problem given the bed we are using, which has no slat close enough to the bottom of the mattress to allow us to tuck in the top sheet. The bed's already pretty high, so we're thinking bunkie boards. It's perfectly comfortable without a box spring.

Platform. I don't think you're supposed to use a standard box spring. Either a "base" or a platform bed. It also says never lay them on the floor. ?!? But seriously this is my second one. We upsized to a king. I wouldn't trade them for anything.

I put it directly on the Sleep Master platform frame. No box spring required.

I put mine on my old sleep number platform that I had. It works fine, I let it expand for 72 hours before sleeping on it.

I have it on a platform type bed with only a mattress, no box springs. There's a strap that comes with it that normally goes around a box spring, but I just put it around the slats or for you, where your springs would be. Worked for me.Hope this helps :)

I used the box springs that we had. I just put a piece of 1/2" plywood on top of the box sprngs. Works great. Hope this helps you.

We kept the box springs we had, put a piece of plywood on top of those, and then added the new mattress. Covered the plywood with a bedskirt to protect the mattress. Added sturdiness. Love our mattress by the way!

It doesn't need a box spring, I bought a platform bed frame for mine and it's fine. If you put it on a box spring you're going to need a ladder to get into bed, depending on frame height. Technically it doesn't need anything under it if it's inside a bed frame.

I'm using it with just a platform bed..no box spring. It's incredibly comfy and it is so much fun to release it. My only advice it is to do it in the room where it will wind up.

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!

I had a platform base so I did not need a box spring. The mattress is very comfortable!

We used a mattress and sheet of plywood underneath.....otherwise yes, you have to use box springs and mattress.

A box spring isn't necessary. The bed is designed to place the mattress directly on top of the frame.

I did not, but you definitely could. The added box spring would just make the bed very tall.

No, you do NOT need a box spring. I use a platform bed with what's called a Bunky Board. To this day I swear it's the most comfortable mattress I ever slept on

It's a platform bed. You do not need a box spring, but you do need a mattress. This bed is very sturdy and well made.

Optional. You can put it on a platform bed frame or buy one of the bed frame just for these mattresses. I have done both and the beds are equally comfortable.

This bed is really made as a platform. So technically you don't need the box spring. We just have the mattress. You "technically" could put the box spring but I think the bed will be way too high. You may need a step to get into the bed with both. Hope this helps.

You need something because the mattress will sink between the slats. A box spring will set the mattress way to high for the bed design though. I just flattened the box after I unpacked the bed pieces, and laid it over the slats. Worked perfect!
