What kind of foundation can be used? I'm buying a bed that would need a traditional boxspring.

We used a bed with a slat base and no box spring. It works well. We did not want to buy a box spring for this guest room.

I bought a "New Innovated Box spring, Bed Frame, Metal Frame - Platform Metal Bed Frame/Foundation" by: Best Price Mattress $79.49. It is not very attractive, but is inexpensive and very functional. I plan to build my own woodenbox and head board to cover the metal frame to make it look more like a furniture piece.

This mattress only require a flat and secure foundation. This includes a traditional box spring, a slatted bed frame, or even the floor-just as long as it is resting on a flat and secure area.

You can use a box spring if you want a higher bed or a platform with wooden slats or a bunkie board (usually used for bunk beds) for a lower profile. I purchased a wire grid bed frame threw a bed skirt on it and you'd never know!

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.

Foam beds do not respond well to box springs over time. You can put the mattress on a foundation. A foundation looks exactly like a box spring, but it has no springs in it. The foundation will create a very rigid and firm support for the mattress.

You don't use a box spring, you have to get a certain kind of bed frame instead. You can find them here on Amazon or at other major retailers. It seems odd, i know, but it actually works well because the bed will be the same height you are used to but you will end up with much more storage area underneath!

No it is not like a foundation for the bed. Its good for extra support is you have a pedestal type bed frame.

You don't have to use a box spring. You can use a platform of some sort to support it, or you can buy a foundation for it as I did for another mattress. There's a few ways to set it up so that it's right for you.

You might be able to....I bought a box spring for my bed with a pillow top mattress and I didnt need the boxspring because it sat to high so I use the platform as the base...

You do not need a box sprimgs, but make sure you either get a matress that has actual springs in them or a bunk bed matress that already has the wooden base built in. beware of the matress that is just stuffed with fibers and stuffing.

Yes you do and I recommend this one I got off of Amazon: Night Therapy Platform Metal Bed Frame/Foundation Set(SmartBase + Metal Brackets for Headboard & Footboard + Bed Skirt - Queen) - No Box Spring needed . It is one amazing frame support for under the bed. I ordered that and put mattress that I also ordered from Amazon on it and it is great.

No box spring needed. Just a solid foundation. Some people use a sheet of Masonite on their bed frame.

Yes, unless you have a bed frame that does not require a foundation or a boxsprings. For example, if you have a daybed that springs are build into the frame you will not need boxsprings or the foundation.

I use a frame for it. But I do not think it is necessary to add on a foundation. The bottom of this mattress is quite firm, and the top is comfortable-soft.

Yes it can be used on a foundation rather than a box spring. In fact I bought a foundation from amazon and it is tall enough to put storage tubs under. It is also quite comfortable. You won't be disappointed.

I just use a wooden slatted platform bed and that is all that is required. DO NOT buy a box frame for reasons other than wanting to raise the bed higher off the ground. I would add that had I had it to do over again, I would have dropped from a 4 to a 1 or 2 since I like a very hard bed. a good product.

This bed frame can use either. If you DO NOT use a box spring, I highly recommend using slats AND something called a "Bunkie Board" (similar to a box spring but a third of the height) which combined give added support and strength.
