What is the mattress support like for this crib? Is it a flat board or is it on springs?

Mine came with a metal support with springs on the hinges. In other words, my mattress support does not look like the picture at all. I bought mine last month, so I'm not sure if they have redone the support or if there was just an error. Either way, it seems rather sturdy.

Hi Alfred, thank you for your interest in Drive Medical! This is a foam mattress, there are no springs inside.

It has a very strong spring system. With the use of a decent mattress, this bed is very sturdy and comfortable.

No it is not on a platform. No it does not have box springs. You are only getting the memory foam mattress.

A full size mattress on the bottom, twin on top. No box springs for either, as there are bunkie boards for each bunk.

I think it is sturdier than that. I really like the crib. We use it with our 13 month old grandson, and he is heavy, too.

My 32 lb toddler still sleeps on it. I haven't had any problems. Sorry! This is the second mattress we bought. Is your crib base good? Maybe not enough support there.

I actually think it's nicer than the expensive crib my kids have. You buy the quality of mattress you like or can afford. The rails have a plastic runner on them. I love this crib!

It should work just fine. My daughter's crib also has a wooden platform, not springs, and this bed rail is designed specifically for these types of cribs.The rail has durable, adjustable straps that run from the rail under the mattress and to a metal disc. You place the disc upright against the opposite side of the mattress from the rail, and the mattress itself holds the rail in place. Unless your kid is strong enough to lift up his/her mattress, you shouldn't have any problems with the bedrail moving or shifting at all.

My daughter is a little heavier, but we've had the same problem. It doesn't seem to be very firm. Need to purchase a crib mattress for our son and will not be getting this one again.

Yes the mattress is exactly as in the picture.We do not have it on a spring box, just using a wooden flat frame and works just fine

I believe it will work without a spring board... The headboard attaches at the bottom where the mattress frame. You will just see more of the headboard which is very attractive!

A thick matress is all I remember and I used it everyday for about a year and it stayed comfortable. I didn't feel any springs if there were any. The mattress is supported by thick wooden slates. At the time of ownership, I was 250lbs. As this is supposed to be a rollout and I used it everyday combined w/my weight, the wooden supports sagged somewhat and created s sort of minor bowl effect. I contacted the company and they simply adked me how many replacement wooden support slates I needed and they sent it out immediately w/o charge. It was like new after the replacementd were put in. I found it comfortable and easily rolled-away when not in use.

It's pretty steady. The legs spread outward, which makes for a steady base. We love our travel crib! It's light and easy to travel with.

Very little bending. It has 4 height adjustments and the top setting was too high for my comfort for a newborn. But would be good for reaching from your bed to get baby out. I still love this crib!

It is a firm mattress, and yes you can slightly feel the springs. Keep in mind that although this is a solid bed and a great value, I do not think it is meant for long term use. By that, I mean it is more a bed for kids and smaller people 100 pounds or less. We bought this for our 4 year old and will be happy if we get a few years of use out of it before we upgrade him to a high quality mattress. It would be a GREAT bed with a 3 or 4" gel foam topper. Hope this helps!

Like most travel cribs, the bottom of the crib/bassinet doubles as a thin mattress. I believe the safety recommendation is actually not to add an additional mattress.
