You should be fine. We actually placed ours on a standard box spring as well.Simply the best money ever spent on a mattress! Enjoy

My previous box spring was great. I don't feel that a stronger surface would improve the experience by too much either.

That is correct. This frame was designed with the new memory foam mattresses in mind. There's a foot of storage space underneath. I haven't used a regular mattress on this frame but I can't see why it wouldn't work.

It is critically important to use a good solid foundation, rather than a box spring with Memory foam mattresses. I've had a bedinabox mattress for 5 years. I love it, and i recently tried it on a box spring after another memory foam bed needed a foundation. Now this bedinabox mattress dumps me out of bed if I get near the edge, because the box spring sags when I do. Get the very good bedinabox oak foundation...

It hadn't occurred to me to use anything other than a nice mattress pad . . . either waterproof or not . . . since the mattress meets my "softness" requirements. I truly think that anything thicker, like some sort of topper, would defeat the purpose of the memory foam. The memory foam is designed to closely conform to the contours of the body, so I would not recommend putting a substantial barrier between myself and the top of the mattress. My previous mattress was the 7" version of the mattress and I only used a regular mattress pad for protection of its surface, as I have with this one. I hope this is of help to you.P.S. The 12" has proved to be much more satisfactory to me.

The foam bridge's texture keeps it in place. You can remove it as well. We use a topper that also helps keep it in place and helps hide the seam and works great with no problems. We tried the straps around both mattress to keep them from separating and it worked fine but find it's not necessary if your box springs are solid or stiff.

I personally spoke with the manufacturer in Arizona about what is needed for support for their memory foam mattress. Nothing special is needed ! He suggested to me that I purchase any box spring that is well made, in other words won't squeak, and that would be adequate. In fact, if one wanted to, the mattress could be placed on a well constructed wood platform, or even on the floor itself. Of course, the floor would make it difficult to get on and off the mattress but the support would be just fine. I purchased an inexpensive, Queen size, Arkansas mfg. box spring. It cost about $100.00. It is giving all the support the mattress needs. If the box spring lasts only five years, won't bother me. . . .I'll just purchase another for $100 or so. Larry

From what I have heard, it is important to allow your memory foam mattress to fully expand over 2 or 3 days before you even sit on it. Supposedly putting weight on it too soon can crush cells inside the mattress so that it breaks down sooner, although it might not be evident for over a couple years. We set ours up, closed the door and didn't even put a hand on it for 72 hours. It still is wonderful after about five or six months - so far.

I would yes you could just place on your old box springs. I really will say I am throughly impressed with this mattress. For being, in my mind, cheap... Worth every penny!

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 can't make any promises, Patricia. In the case of my own mattress it didn't appear to be sagging, but I could feel it when I would lay down on it. If your side is sunk in as you say, this memory foam topper may not give you all the support that you need. It might make it somewhat better, but then again it might not provide all the improvement that you need. You might be better off applying the cost of the topper towards a new mattress.

I am not sure I understand your question. You say you need to get rid of the boxsprings but then you are putting plywood on top of the bed springs. I am confused. The bunkie board would look better than plywood.

I don't know why they sent this to me. I am a customer who bought this bed, not the manufacturer but since they did, I loved loved loved this mattress when it first came. I am still please with it but I do notice it tends to squish down in the places you sit, or lay on it most. I turn it a lot so it will stay in shape. If I was making a decision about this, I would not put it in a wall bed. Just sayin'

Well, its just a Big'ol piece of foam... semi-ridged. It should rest on top of whatever your old mattress was on, no problems. Its quality foam, no complaints, here. Rigid, yet pliable, fit onto my previous plywood, makeshift bed frame, no problem!

I have a deep mattress but not a memory foam. Looks like plenty of room for deep mattress. Mine was loose on the corners and sides.

We actually have a memory foam mattress. I actually didn't like the mattress at all until we got this frame. It is such a sturdy frame, I actually wonder if it might make a world of difference for our other "regular" mattress. The quality of support makes me think that it could possibly help just about any mattress to feel better.Also, we do have a box spring and memory foam mattress. I must agree with the other person who said it might be too tall for most people. We are both 6-feet tall and even I have to climb into bed!

Be sure to lay it out on a flat surface for about 24 hours. It should flatten out ok. Mine was shipped in a box and the mattress was pretty much rolled in a ball. I honestly don't see how they got it like that but it was ok within 24 hours.

I did so with the memory foam mattress I purchased for my daughter's bed without problem. Mine is on a platform foundation. Realize that the box spring configuration is less firm. I have no idea about the long term effects of putting one on a box spring. My daughter loves hers.
