Can the foundation be used alone, without a frame, by adding legs to the corners and in the middle for support?

No, it cannot. While the foundation is stable on my sleigh bed frame, I would not suggest adding legs to the corners. I'm betting that if you ask around, you can find someone who has an old frame in their attic, garage, or storage unit. You could also pick up for just a couple of dollars at a garage or yard sale.

I have 2 of these (one king, one queen) and while I'm terribly happy with it, I wouldn't consider using it without a frame.You can pick up an inexpensive metal frame at Sams Club or Wal Mart for around $30. The foundation really needs support along the edges. You could probably make something sturdy enough with dimensional lumber but by the time you got done, you'd be pretty close to the same price as the metal frame.

The person that suggested this foundation to me for my memory foam mattress just sat the frame on the floor and used it that way. I am using a wood Bed frame with headboard.

Well, together with a 12 Mattress, its is pretty high in my opinion. But to your question, in my opinion, no. Maybe with a lot of modifications and hassle, but it is not made for a added construction. But please keep in mind, I bought mine nearly 2 years ago. Not sure how the newer models work.

No. Just a support frame connecting all four legs. BTW, I love that I can use the top for a folding & ironing table.

No, would require building a different base. And, peeking through a slot between your thigh and the frame, a wider horizontal view might not be helpful.

It can be used without he feet. It sits about 2.5 feet high with the feet and I would say the feet only add about 4 of those inches.

If you look at the picture of the bed, there are support legs where the three springs parts are bolted together -- I would not try to do away with these legs. These legs are closer apart than the end legs, thus it limits the width of something that is being put under the frame from the end. Small trundle(s) could be used between the legs from the side. My grandson stores his extra clothes in boxes between the legs.

Yes you would need a foundation of some sort. I personally purchased an adjustable base and it works great. I demoed a few other high end mattresses before this, and I can say this is great.

I just use it for the foam bed. No foundation because it will not raise or lower since most foundations are made of wood framing.

I would say the only way is to have a stand alone frame for it to sit on with legs. It is very heavy when filled with rock drainage and soil . I have both the shorter and the longer one..it does not seem like there is any solid way to attach legs to it, but I am not a carpenter . You would not be moving these around once filled, with any ease that is.

No footing is needed. There is a metal bracket that attaches to a wood block (wood block not included) that simply rests on the ground to for support

not really, only if you want the legs on. We opted to use it without the legs as it fit at the end of my daughter's bed that way. If you want to add the legs, you just screw them in. the unit is fully assembled otherwise. good luck.

It needs a foundation. I put it in a RV with a platform and didn't need a boxspring. If you use it on a regular bedframe you will need a boxspring.

The middle shelf could be laid on top of the bottom shelf, but would not be able to snap onto the frame. The metal reinforcements on each shelf coupled with the fairly fine mesh makes each shelf very sturdy on its own.

I called the company and they said it is perfectly fine to do it in the middle of the wall, but yes, you will need to order additional angle brackets for support.

If you are putting this mattress on a traditional bed frame without supports, yes. If you're putting the mattress on a platform bed, which I believe is recommended practice for these types of mattress, no.

I believe you can. You will notice it doesn't line up with the frame very well. No hardware is included either.

This need has a frame that also acts like a box spring, so if your frame has only the edges and no support throughout the surface, it will not work.
