Is anyone using this mattress on the Night Therapy Platform Metal Bed Frame/Foundation Set? If so how is it?

This was purchased for my 400 lb. son. He's had it for 2 years and says he never knew what a good nights sleep felt like before. The packaging is insane, this mattress comes in a box that must extend into the 12th dimension, it's tiny. Open the box where you want to put the bed.

So far, we haven't run into any issues. I think we have had ours for about 9 months and its holding up well so far (no sinking thoroughly the bottom. I think the sinking happens more when the slats are not so close together. We had that exact problem with this very nice wooden frame we had before this one and that was the exact reason we got the better than a box spring frame. And we are glad we did. We are getting better sleep and not waking up all sore. I would recommend it.

Yes, that's just how we used it. The futon frame was pretty stable, bit it fit well. Mattress is on the firm side but very comfortable.

We live in OH and love this mattress. We have had it for 2 years now. Last year, in the spring, we noticed our platform frame was beginning to mold and the mattress was extremely damp. We thought we had fixed the issue by drilling holes into the platform to aid airflow, however, this year we are once again experiencing mold problems. We thought buying a slotted frame might help, but all the research suggests platforms. Has anyone else had issues with mold with this mattress or with platform beds?

My wife and I have had our mattresses for over a year and are well satisfied. I have to sleep with my head elevated and the constant up and down action hasn't caused any deformation. I find mine to be very comfortable, but my wife would like to have hers a bit harder.

I previously had a foam mattress and the regular box spring DID NOT support it. I bought a slated platform bed frame and am so happy I did. I made a world of difference in the support. Get a good platform bed frame... all are not equal. It creates a nice storage area for roll out storage bins and I am very happy with my mattress and the bed frame set now.

I was skeptical about the wooden slats too, me being 300+lbs was nervous even getting on. months later, holds great extremely comfortable. Don't think a metal frame would match up & or fit in there instead of the wooden slats. No box spring needed. I really like it.

I see you got some mixed results! The top of the mattress is quite soft, giving it an initial cushy feel, but the mattress is quit firm. I would agree with the "supportive" answer. Beware, the first week I got this mattress it was difficult to get out of bed, that's how awesome it is.

I have a boxspring with it. because there are slats and not a platform, I do not think a mattress alone would work very well. Great bed - looks beautiful and appears way more expensive then it is. I highly recommend it.

I bought this mattress for my son who has a platform bed. The bed had wooden slats as the platform, which I didn't feel would be strong enough. We bought 3/4 inch plywood and laid it over the slats.works perfect.

I use it on a foundation. It's absolutely fine. I don't think you need a box spring, actually. One of the many great things about it! It's truly an amazing mattress. I have a friend who bought a similar Sealy foam mattress for $3,000 (he didn't believe that a mattress for $189 would be good) and this matress is just as good as his--I swear. I don't have a single complaint about it.

I would not suggest using this mattress for every night usage. I purchased it and within a week it had a leak in it. I believe it's just poorly manufactured, or as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for." I would go with something that is higher end or maybe a double high for nightly use.

I am quite pleased with mine. It has more vertical supports than others ... we had another foundation that was very similar to this one prior to ordering this one. This foundation has the outside vertical then 2 spaced evenly, whereas the other only had the outside then 1 in the middle. I don't notice it creaking or any noise. The slats are all nicely cut and built correctly. We did add some additional screws just to add more stability, but they might not have been needed. In comparing this foundation to the one we had previously, it is much much better and it was half the price. I'm not positive on the air mattress thing, but it works great for my latex mattress.

We bought the sleep master 6 inch smooth top therapeutic memory foam mattress and it's worked out great! It does have an odor when you take out out if the packaging so I recommend airing it out.

Wow, that sounds like a nice idea, but I'm really not sure. The mattress fits exactly on top of this platform so the platform might slip down inside the frame like a box spring would, but you might have to remove any hardware on the inside of the wooden frame that is built to hold the box spring in place because this hardware will interfere with the metal platform as it has legs to rest on the floor. I would check on the return policy and give it a try because this platform is a brilliant alternative to a box spring. It was easy to set up and way comfortable.

I currently have mine on a storage foundation from Ikea that uses slats. As long as the slats aren't far apart on the platform bed, this mattress should be fine.

I use this mattress on a platform bed. The foundation on my bed is wood. I love my mattress.
