Do you have to have a special mattress. I have a serta pillow top mattress.

Mine is also a pillow top. 10" deep. Be sure you have the foot board at the end of the bed because you will need it. The product is not perfect, but nothing is!

I have a tempurpedic memory foam mattress which is very heavy so the Genie works well.

no you don't need a special mattress. I have a divan so it was placed on the bottom layer. If you have a spring bed or one that uses board then you can get a piece of ply board or any board of your choice then put the genie on it for support, then of course place your mattress. Hope that answers your question......... be blessed

I have a Beauty Rest 12 inch mattress and the Genie works fine with it. I've had it for three weeks now. I didn't have a foot board, but got a bed rail to put at the foot of the bed, and that works fine as well.

I've had this wonderful mattress for about 6 months so far and I just placed it on top of my old box spring with no issues at all. I believe you can buy a special base for these mattresses but I couldn't afford it at the time and now don't see a need for it.

Unless you get a really good matress. Dont buy it not comfortable. The matress that comes with it is very thin and its aweful. Im not happy with mine at all. Good luck

I wouldn't think so. Memory foam mattresses generally either need a platform base or a special box spring. Do not try and use a traditional box spring with a memory foam mattress as you will not get the full support of the mattress. I tried for a month using a standard box spring then switched to a memory foam box spring and there is a definite difference, slept much better on the special box spring.

No, but you might want to put a flat board or a flat something under you mattress

I would think a mattress is needed with it. That's not to say it can't be used without one, but I prefer 'some' comfort!

If the mattress fits, you don't need one. Although I wanted to be higher so I use one.

I would say you'd need an orthopedic type pad. The mattress isn't very padded or comfortable.

yes letting you know though, you will not need a box springs at all...I had a pillow top mattress and nothing else fits.

I did but I guess it is not necessary. The Material is a very dense White Foam Rubber, it has a slight tacky feel to it but not really sticky.The foam also is not slippery and will not slide on top of the mattress, at least mine didn't.

No not a special pillow case. I just use queen size and tuck it in the case .

I'm a side sleeper and I am very comfortable on my Serta Perfect. I do use a very firm pillow, which helps sleeping on my side. This is a excellent mattress and provides great support.

Yes, it is chris, and yes you may put a regular mattress on top. I put a foam mattress and I am very happy with my bed..no complaints, it is sturdy and functional.... perfecto

Ours is on a regular mattress and we love the set. It is a pad with an "Iso Cool" cover that is the part that keeps it cool. You could put just the pad over the pillow top. I would think that it would help keep you cool--but we use both pieces. HTH.

Yes you can use a regular mattress and absolutely no box spring necessary. I use a 12 inch foam mattress from Costco and its the best sleep I've had. Save yourself a lot of money.

Yes you can that is what I have on it right now.I was a little leery because of the spacing, so I put down the cardboard that the foam mattress came in on top of the frame.Every once in a while I have to slide mattress around,but no big deal.They say you do not have to use anything on top but I figure better save then sorry.
