Must this rest on the ground or can it actually be placed on a regular metal bed frame? Thanks.

Sorry, I don't know if it fits into a standard bed frame as our intent was to just use it on a floor. However, I don't think that I'd use it on a metal frame for fear that the mattress gets damaged and leaks from any metal snags.

I used mine directly on carpet. Overall the mattress is sturdy and may sit well on a bed frame; however, it seems that all air mattresses I've dealt with do lose some air if it is used more than a couple of nights. In turn, it may become vulnerable to moving off of the frame overtime if you plan to use this regularly.

I put a memory foam mattress directly on top and it was fine. I would suggest putting a flat sheet under the mattress and covering the metal part of the frame. it isn't that pretty looking

Yes you can attach it to a standard metal frame and my daughter does lean up against it with no problems.

If using as a spare. It's 12 in high just lay on floor. If futon is stready you can try but this will not roll back up for storage We have ours on top of metal frame from our sleep number bed. But this is 12 in high

yes it has to rest on the bottom. the steps of the ladder just slips into the hand rails.

Depends on the type of bed frame you have. I have mine on top of a box spring.

put a piece of plywood under it first. it's very cushy and might squish through the slats depending on the spacing. Mine is supported my a metal mesh net thing now, was directly on floor. comfortable both ways.

You can connect it to a regular bed frame,there are several holes to do this. However, on my frame, only one set of the holes worked, so another set had to be drilled. It does work with just one set of holes on each side bolted, but it is not as secure. I've noticed that others here have said they have had to drill an additional set of holes as I did.

I am not sure that it will be good to let it stand freely. It is not heavy at all and I think it will move around if you don't attach it to the bedframe.

It is designed to be mounted to the wall. The headboard and nightstands hang on the wall behind the bed. I doubt you could safely re-engineer it to mount to a metal frame.

I believe you could put it on a bed. It is about as high as a regular mattress so you need to consider this if using for children, since it might be a bit of a risk for a fall. This is a single width mattress and might work okay in the middle of a double width pull out, Should be much more comfortable than a pull out mattress.

I use a regular box spring and standard metal frame under it and have the headboard attached to the metal frame. The headboard looks great I just love it. It's slightly lighter in real life than the pictures. Amazon doesn't sell the complete bed ( the matching frame with would hide the box spring) but an easy solve was getting a tailored bed skirt. It really looks great. As far as the metal platform you're referring to I'd assume as long as there is somewhere on the bed to attach the headboard to it should work. But I think just a standard box spring frame would be all that's needed. I hope that was helpful.

I put mine in a old antique iron bed. I do believe a metal frame would work. The frame of the bottom matress is matal itself.

I do not see why not. It is firm mattress. You can put it anywhere you want. I have it on wood bad frame, Ikea type cheap bed. It will be even more solid on the ground. By the way I recommend to buy mattress cove to make it last forever, and especially if you want to keep it on the floor.

I used a regular bed frame and it works perfectly fine for me. I also used a traditional mattress without any problems. Hopefully that helps.

I have mine on an inexpensive platform bed I purchased from Amazon. It uses slats underneath to support the mattress. I love it; very cheap, very comfortable solution to needing an additional bed.

If I understand your question correctly, the foundation would rest on the side rails that currently support your slats. Or, you could just rest this foundation on top of the 5 slats you currently have. I have a regular metal bed frame, which has side rails about 1 1/2" wide upon which the foundation rests. It is quite secure and fits well.
