Is a box spring same with a matress foundation?

I use this exactly like a box spring. The mattress fits right on top. It's been wonderful. Regular boxspring didn't fit up stairs in the house I moved into, so got his. It folds up and then unfolds and lays flat. It's pretty substantial. It was a great purchase.

Essentially yes. They serve the same purpose which is to support the mattress itself. Box-springs simply have internal springs which are not always necessary with a proper mattress.

Foam beds will work great on a platform bed frame, a slatted bed frame (as long as the slats are not more than 3-4 inches apart), or a foundation with a frame. A foundation is going to look exactly like a box spring, but it has no springs in it. The foundation will create the same type of surface as a platform bed. As long as you put the mattress on something that creates a very rigid and very firm support the mattress will do great.

It was a mattress only on top of a hospital bedframe which had springs in the frame. I don't believe box springs would be necessary. It is a nice heavy foam....comfortable and does not squish down easily.

No, you do NOT need a box spring. I use a platform bed with what's called a Bunky Board. To this day I swear it's the most comfortable mattress I ever slept on

For best results, a flat platform frame or foundation is needed. We have used box springs on a standard metal frame with memory foam and were happier once we switched to a platform type frame with the mattress directly on top of it. We have this mattress directly on a wooden bunk bed frame and it is great!

Yes, its the frame as well as bars that support the mattress. You would not use a box spring with this bed frame, just a mattress.

Yes. We have our king size setup with the existing king box spring for our old mattress. Most comfortable bed we have ever had!

You can use the foam mattress. But if by "foundation" you mean a box spring, you do not need this because the bed acts as its own foundation and a rigid box spring would prevent the mattress from flexing and defeat the purpose of this bed's adjustability.

It depends on the bed. If it is a low profile bed, you need a box spring. I use my matress without a box spring for a month without problems. Then I bought a bed and use it with a box spring and love it.

Go buy a foundation, basically a box the size of your mattress that looks like a box spring but without the springs. They usually cost $80 - $250 where I live. You can also cut some plywood and put that on top of your box spring under the mattress. The surface under the mattress just needs to be solid and not move like a box spring.

Hello Kris,A steel base, a standard foundation ( not box springs with coils ) and or a platform bed are all ideal bases to go under the memory foam mattress. The harder the surface, the better the memory foam mattress will perform. In short a box spring is not required. Just a firm surface to go under the mattress!Hope this helps,Steve

You'll definitely need to purchase some sort of foundation. We got a box spring but I think one of the more solid foundations that are made for a memory foam mattress would have been a better choice.

Yes, probably better than the mattress actually, box springs are lighter and easier to carry, making the bag less likely to stretch. It stretches too easily and lacks any carrying handles so mattresses are tougher to handle, granted I had a futon mattress and that was a factor.

Not sure we had a box spring we just put it on top of that. No problems. It is a good mattress.

No box spring is needed if you want the matressess to be higher than you can always add one but its not needed
