Has anyone used this bed with a memory foam mattress (no box spring; just the mattress)? If so, has the mattress sagged or suffered any damage?

I have this bed in my guest bedroom without the boxspring and its perfect. I am truly happy with this bed. The mattress has not sagged and its not damaged.

I have just a mattress on the frame, with no box spring. The bed doesn't really need a box spring, but I was still fearful of sagging. So, I ordered two bed boards the place in between the mattress and frame and have had no problems.

I use it with just a mattress, not memory foam, but new and good quality as well. The only issue I've had is the "sound" when you move. I solved it by removing EVERY metal slat going side-to-side that was supplied by the manufacture to support the mattress. I used Home Depot stuff to build a supporting frame. Perfect!

I only use a mattress with this bed. I think using a box spring also would make it feel too high. I think it is made to use with just a mattress and no box spring.

We used a box spring for our mattress. I have found the mattress that we purchased did not hold it's shape, as soon as you get into the bed you sink into the same spot you laid in the prior night as the many nights before that, do good research on this mattress, I tried to return mine after a year and was told that there was no warranty on the mattress, which was a surprise as I thought there was a 5 year warranty. DO your research before purchasing.... Not happy with the mattress that we purchased at all.

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

the memory foam mattress we purchased is excellent..the slats are close enough together that the mattress is secured and no sagging. we love it!!!

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.

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.

I have 2 twin box springs and a Tempurpedic gel mattress sitting on mine and it's sturdy. I've never had an issue with bending/warping or even feeling it move at all. It's a great buy

The bed frame don't have the support to hold a box spring so the box spring will move a around on you when you lay it on the frame. So my opinion would be just to uses it with just a mattress. But I love the bed frame.

The Base is not as solid as it should be ...we didnt buy a box spring , and we noticed that the sides of our memory foam mattress were sort of sinking . My Husband reinforced the base with a wood plank and now it's fine / BTW it's a Beautiful Bed

No. I have a memory foam mattress sitting directly on the frame without any issues so far.

We do not use a box spring. My son has a trundle bed and neither mattress has one. My husband and I both have to take turns sleeping in there with my son right now and nobody has a complaint about the mattress. Very happy with purchase.

I also purchased this bed for company. We used it daily for over a week and had no problems. If it seemed low after a few days of use, we just turned the air pump on for a minute to make it firm again.

Yes, a memory foam mattress does not require a box spring or a mattress to support it. The mattress itself is fully sustainable on its own. For the first few months I had it on the floor and then bought a platform bed frame to put it on. It was a very cost effective move to purchase this mattress. Hopes this helps :-)

You don't use a box spring with it. The slats act as a box spring so you just put on a mattress only. My son is 4 and has been using this bed for a year now and it's perfect for him. We haven't had any problems. We got a nice mattress and I think it's more comfortable than our bed. My husband and I both lay on it with him to read stories and it holds the weight just fine. Hope that helps!

I have an off brand Tempurpedic (memory foam) mattress that I use with the box spring. I mainly use the box spring because I would have nowhere else to store the box spring and I like the added height to the bed.

Sure you could use the memory foam mattress, but because you're not using a box spring I'd wonder if it would still be comfortable to sit/ sleep on? If I were you I'd simply go with a standard twin mattress.
