Has anyone used this with a memory foam mattress. Also, has anyone used a boxspring with this bed? Did it end up being too high? Thanks!

I am using a memory foam mattress. I have a 6 inch which is definitely not enough,the foam squishes down and I keep hitting my tailbone or shoulders on the slats. I think you would need a 12 or 14 inch mattress for this. My boxspring was thrown out (by mistake) so i now have my old mattress underneath the memory foam.It helped quite a bit but in all honesty the next time I'm going with a regular setup with a memory foam top (mattress). Good luck William!

No box spring needed...we just put our son's memory foam mattress on the wooden slats. I would like to add that the bed frame sits about 12 inches off the floor so a box spring and mattress would make the bed very high.

We have a memory foam sleep number and use it and the box spring. I believe it would fit fine! It is made to not need a box spring, which we originally tried, but we didn't like being so close to the ground. (I know this is the latest look though!) So, be aware when you do put the box spring, it makes the headboard seem a bit smaller in size. We still love it and have never found anything that can touch the price!! It's a great color.

I purchased a nice memory foam mattress with no box springs. It works just fine and is a very nice bed. It did come a little scuffed up from shipping but I didnt want the hassle of sending it back. It does come with support slats which are wood. They look flimsy, but surprisingly not at all.

I put mine on top of our old box spring, worked fine. Bed sets a little lower with this mattress as it is not as thick as our old foam mattress was.

It's a good, supportive foundation. I'm no mattress expert, but don't see any reason why this box spring would not be a good fit for memory foam.

Hi Kerri, I agree with Drea...the bed would be way too high with a box spring. It's quite high with just the mattress itself. It is a nice sturdy bed with plenty of room underneath for storage or a trundle though.

I used plywood for a sleep number mattress and it works great. Don't see a problem with a memory foam bed.

You do NOT need a boxspring underneath it, just a platform. You can't just place the mattress on a bedframe, it will fall through, unless you created some sort of platform with a lot of slats or something. We purchased a metal platform from Amazon that works great with this mattress, or you can purchase them as a set. The platform looks kinda flimsy but it is sturdy enough to hold me and my husband. Together we weight about 450 pounds. The memory foam is great! You never feel the platform and it resumes it's shape quickly when rolling over. We highly recommend this mattress.

no...it will not firm up the mattress....you might put a piece of plywood between the mattress and box springs for that and if that is to firm then this memory foam will soften it and that might work for you

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 too have a memory foam mattress. It's very lightweight and so far I haven't had difficulties with it making the bed too hot.

Have a spring mattress with a foam layer on top --- no problem -- but don't know about memory foam

I found that when I put a memory foam topper (1 1/2") on top of another memory foam topper (2 1/2"), it became too soft for me. I am not sure how a topper would work on top of a memory foam mattress. If the topper is a good price, it's worth a try, I would think. Another thought: different memory foam toppers have different density ratings, so I would search out the most dense rating I could find if your mattress is too soft. Hope this helps.

Yes I used my box spring it's fine.. It was to low for me without it .My only problem was my box spring was really thick so you won't see a lot of the head broad ..nice bed good & nice leather

The bed is a perfect fit for my queen size memory foam mattress. However I am going to add a queen size box spring. I am a 6ft 1, 195 lb man an I sleep very well. That extra box spring will make this a most comfortable bed.

Elizabeth, I have a wooden bed..we took the wood slats out and replaced them with 4 sets of these metal slats. We have a lot more support and our old mattress, feels brand new again. Instead of buying another expensive mattress..we just replaced the slats and added extra. We cannot believe the comfort in our mattress..and now we are getting a better night sleep. Yes..we have a boxspring, with a piece of plywood over the boxspring..this helps to save the life of our set..and it is perfect..we won't be mattress shopping for several more years.!!
