What is the mattress support like for this crib? Is it a flat board or is it on springs?

Spring system held into place with 4 screws. It can be raised and lowered as your child grows.

Our mattress frame is not from the pottery barn but it is all wires, the only solid is the frame of the crib. What the mattress sits on is basically a metal lattice that is springy. I think that is pretty common for cribs. So the hard board will work. But we realized after purchasing the hard board anything stiff would have worked in its place. But regardless of if you choose to user the hard board or a piece of plywood or something similar I definatley recommend the monitor. Its been a lifesaver. Our little one never slept well on his back. He loves his tummy and now that he can turn over he moves to his stomach in the night. The monitor lets us sleep soundly knowing we will know if he isnt breathing.

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.

It looks like they've recently changed the photograph--and it is confusing. If the design is still the same as the version I bought in 2012, then there is a flat and very sturdy wire grid that bolts into the wood part of the crib frame at each corner. The mattress just sits on that wire grid. The openness of the wire grid allows air to circulate underneath the mattress. There is nothing like that thick box spring in the version I bought.

Wired base but I also cut part of the cardboard box it shipped in so the mattress would rest on the cardboard and the cardboard on the wire per recommendation in the directions. Sturdy crib. I recommend lowering to the lowest height in order to avoid doing that late. My baby is a tall one so I had to lower it sooner than I thought. But the lowest height keeps them safe, she is 30 inches tall at 9 months.

A thick matress is all I remember and I used it everyday for about a year and it stayed comfortable. I didn't feel any springs if there were any. The mattress is supported by thick wooden slates. At the time of ownership, I was 250lbs. As this is supposed to be a rollout and I used it everyday combined w/my weight, the wooden supports sagged somewhat and created s sort of minor bowl effect. I contacted the company and they simply adked me how many replacement wooden support slates I needed and they sent it out immediately w/o charge. It was like new after the replacementd were put in. I found it comfortable and easily rolled-away when not in use.

No springs at all. This mattress is the best. One side is very firm and the other side is more plush. Great material and extremely durable. You won't be disappointed by making this purchase.

The mattress is firm enough that if your bed has four or five slats to hold it up you should be OK. We still bought a box foundation instead of a box springs. You can try it and get a box springs if you find that it sags.

It is low, but not a problem. The mattress is a decent size. We like it. Its quite sturdy as well. Changing diapers while inside the crib can be a back strainer though.. so if you have a changing pad/station, then this shouldn't be an issue.

Hi D, The mattress is comfortable and being used as a single mattress on an adjustable bed - with no bottom board or box spring. But as each person's needs are different you should consult with the seller as to best way to use the mattress. M.P.

Yes, it has springs. I have not experienced creaking with the springs in this bed. However, you may need a pad, because the springs will poke your ribs if you are thin and lay right on them. I folded up a quilt beneath my separate mattress cover and it helped. Note that I purchased the queen size.

No there isn't any springs. It is just like any other air mattress. I think the picture is deceiving.

It comes with slats for secure mattress support, no box springs needed. Just add mattresses and you're ready to go!

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!

Mine came with a metal support with springs on the hinges. In other words, my mattress support does not look like the picture at all. I bought mine last month, so I'm not sure if they have redone the support or if there was just an error. Either way, it seems rather sturdy.

Not sure but it is perfect for an infant when in the higher position. Once the baby can pull themself up you put it in the lower decision. It is a perfect little crib to put right next to your bed!

The mattress is supported by flat boards. I think they call them bunk boards. these boards are attached to the frame with wood screws and for the most part keeps movement on the bed quiet. There are still some movement noises, but attaching the boards does quiet it a lot.
