I see a lot of people with memory foam mattresses...is this sturdy enough for a regular spring mattress?

Yes. I have a regular mattress. Actually, a regular mattress weighs a lot less than a memory foam mattress!

you should be fine... I can't speak for its capacity, but it holds my very heavy memory foam (dense/firm) and me, and another just fine.

This is a firm mattress. I think you will be fine on it. It is very good support and springs back as you move.

This is not a true memory foam mattress. It is a foam-like core (not springs), but it does not feel firm and dense like memory foam. This is a soft bed. I would not suggest this mattress for heavier adults or for couples to share. I bought this for my teenage daughter and she has been raving about it's comfort. I slept on the mattress last night, while she was having a sleepover, to test it out and she's right. It is incredibly comfortable; especially for the price!

I did so with the memory foam mattress I purchased for my daughter's bed without problem. Mine is on a platform foundation. Realize that the box spring configuration is less firm. I have no idea about the long term effects of putting one on a box spring. My daughter loves hers.

Unless you put a sheet of plywood over it I wouldn't use it for a memory foam mattress. I haven't used it with one, but I have a feeling that the struts across the top would either puncture or sink into the memory foam. What you see is actually a cover that just goes over the frame itself. It's just cloth.

Agree with other answers. We have a simple foam mattress and it is supported perfectly. Can take grown up weight.

Have a spring mattress with a foam layer on top --- no problem -- but don't know about memory foam

I'm 190 pounds and it supports me well, but I only use it occasionally. The foam in this mattress is quite firm and seems resilient. You may want a topper to soften it up just a bit.

This mattress is very sturdy and heavy, so I purchased a metal pedestal for it and it's perfect for this this mattress. If you asking, do you need a box spring my answer is no... Bear in mind that this mattress is very firm. My wife is not enjoying it as much as I am. If you are looking for a firm mattress then this one is great...

Yes, it is firm and supportive. It should be perfect as long as your mattress isn't super plush and doesn't sink in already.

With memory foam your body sinks into mattress, it's a personal choice, with springs you might have more support.

If memory serves, their larger beds have a large, elevated beam running down the middle, annyway. So, six_one, half dozen the other... W/a memory foam bed, I doubt you'd feel much of a bump in the middle. Another reason to never buy another box spring mattress.

Yes very heavy/sturdy we love ours you will have to reinforce the support of the mattress slats .... we used plywood

It is very spacious and sturdy. I can't really speak on exact weight, since it's gonna be different for everyone. I have a memory foam mattress, so a lot of the traditional shock that would hit the supports is not there.

We put ours on our old box springs, but I'm going to put some plywood. I think it would be best.The memory foam mattress is very comfortable, but I think it would be better for the life of the mattress.

It is smooth, but not a solid frame. I have my mattress only it, no box springs and works perfect. Is the memory foam more flimsy or how thick is it? My mattress is about 14 inches thick.
