We used our old box spring base.The topper is only on the one side. It's a good idea to turn the mattress. I still really like this mattress. Great value.

No to both. You'll need to buy a bed to put it on separately. The mattress is constructed in such a way that it is only meant to be slept on on one side. The top has a pad, the bottom doesn't. Regardless, it is an excellent mattress!

No, the base is not included. And due to the arrangement of the foam materials (soft light pad on top), the mattress can not be flipped. I would like to add tho that because the mattress is made of memory foam, it does not require flipping like a spring mattress would.

I'm not sure what you mean by base. If you mean the ultra-dense portion of the mattress, yes you do, its part of the mattress. If mean the stand that is meant to replace the box spring, then no you do not - you will need to purchase separately. You do not sleep on both sides of the mattress it has 1 orientation.

It's good for both. On a firm bed, this gives the cushioning to feel cradled while on your back, and if you sleep on your side, it improves the comfort of side sleeping. A softer mattress is typically better for side sleeping, so if your mattress is really firm and you side sleep, you might want an even thicker topper to soften it. 4" could do it.

I really like this futon, but it can be rather hard. I think, for someone who sleeps on their side it would not be that comfortable. I don't know if I have ever slept on a futon which would be comfortable for a side-sleeper! Good Luck!

Hi Liz,I bought this product last Christmas and my feet touch the mattress too; I guess it all comes down to whats comfortable for you. That said, with my back I ended up putting two additional pillows (a synthetic and a down pillow) on top but even with that my feet still touch the mattress, it is comfortable though. Of course with time the leg rest pillow flattens out some. One thing you might try is to turn it around as the angles are different on either side, you probably know that already though. good luck.I am currently looking at a product that has the back and head pillow, attached to the leg rest as a single unit.

I sleep on my side and belly both and it is perfect for side sleeping. The foam has give but is solid enough to keep my spine straight.

Yes. I have the same mattress. Buy a wood board to put underneath from home depot... Its a reallly thin piece of wood or use something similar. And get the dual bc the single one has way too many false alarms. Love it and worth the investment

It would look a little weird. There's nothing holding a mattress in place and I think it would look weird to see both pieces covered in sheets. I think you should just opt for a thicker mattress like an 11 or 12 inch. I really recommend a memory foam mattress.

The information that came with the mattress indicated a box spring, or a serta foam mattress base should be used, it shouldn't be on a solid surface. We used our old box spring.

The bed is hard. Not extremely firm, there is some give. I think you can only use one side.

Yes you can. The double size mattress I bought replaced my daughters old and sagging top mattress. We put it right on top of the box spring and she loves it!

You can short term. But for longer it would probably need a futon/slatted base for air circulation. FYI I'm a side sleeper and found it uncomfortable.

Yes. I sleep on my side primarily and on my back at other times. It's an amazing mattress.

Yes you can sleep on your side, but I found that using a regular pillow on top of the wedge gives more support for your neck when sleeping on your side. It is also nice when watching tv in bed, it elevates you just right . I have acid reflux and this wedge is great.

I would highly recommend the Lucid memory foam mattress for both people who sleep on their back and on their side. If you sleep on your side, you would want a softer mattress such as a plush or gel memory foam mattress. In addition to a soft mattress, I would also suggest a leg spacer to reduce pressure on the hips.

Hello Pam, im not clear what you mean by this...if you mean if you can use both sides, the answer is no; if you mean just flipping when you are trying to move it, yes but it is a heavy mattress. it comes squeezed and you might think it is a small mattress. It expands amazingly and it is rather heavy. Hope i answer your question.

You assume CORRECTLY...first of all there is no headbboard...that box with title is for information only. You will enjoy the mattress, however!I still am enjoying mine.

No you definitely need a queen base for queen mattress, otherwise it would overhang by several inches both directions. In addition there is a lip at the edge. It does not seem sturdy til you get it together. I would ask the manufacturer to make sure. If they say ok and it breaks you could return it I guess but shipping would be expensive.
