Can I place it on my old Boxspring, or do I need a more even/solid surface? I just know that the Boxspring isn't completely even throughout, and I don't want the memory foam to sag underneath. Mine will be here in two days, just trying to prepare!

You should be fine. We actually placed ours on a standard box spring as well. Simply the best money ever spent on a mattress! Enjoy

Hey Gabriela, looks like that sofa bed was designed for only the cushions that came with it, in the closed position. I know of no way to add the memory foam, and have the sofa bed close correctly. I would just roll up the memory form, and store it else where until it's needed. Not sure if you were able to leave it on the sofa bed, that when the sofa is closed for a long period of time, that the compression of the closed sofa bed, might have some adverse affects on the memory foam.Sorry, wish I could be more help, and good luck!!

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.

I always use a box spring with my beds. Also, you would need to order a frame....this is only the headboard. I have a regular mattress and box spring on my beds. Not sure about the memory foam mattresses.

I had the same concern and i get what you are saying. After 1-1.5 months of use with my memory foam mattress , i have not found this to be an issue. The frame supports the mattress nicely. This thing squeaks like anything though!

Well, I'm a 180 lb male that is delighted with the 3" 5lb topper. This topper sits on top of a very firm mattress. I do not sink in too much. But, I wonder what would happen if you put the topper on top of your new memory foam mattress? Why do you think you need a topper?

The foam bridge's texture keeps it in place. You can remove it as well. We use a topper that also helps keep it in place and helps hide the seam and works great with no problems. We tried the straps around both mattress to keep them from separating and it worked fine but find it's not necessary if your box springs are solid or stiff.

Hi Dan. it depends how thick your memory foam mattress is. if it is normal thick it should not be a problem. I have these thin Ikea mattresses (5 inch thick) and you can feel the slats under you... I need to put a set of special Ikea slats under my mattress so that it will be comfortable or double up on the thin mattress, then it is no problem. Hope this helps.

I would definetly not use a a regular box spring. you need a completely flat serface like a couple sheets of ply wood on top of your favorite bed set. its a great matress if you havnt picked it up already and worth way more then what you pay for it. extremely pleased

We used a box spring for our mattress. I have found the mattress that we purchased did not hold it's shape, as soon as you get into the bed you sink into the same spot you laid in the prior night as the many nights before that, do good research on this mattress, I tried to return mine after a year and was told that there was no warranty on the mattress, which was a surprise as I thought there was a 5 year warranty. DO your research before purchasing.... Not happy with the mattress that we purchased at all.

thanks a bunch for your reply. I think i'm going to get the bed frame along with a thicker memory foam mattress.

I just used a mattress - a thicker memory foam one. I don't think there is room for both box springs and a mattress.

You will need at minimum a box spring. Rails are designed to support box springs not the mattress itself. Your memory foam mattress will be destroyed on the rails without a boxspring to support it properly.

We kept the box springs we had, put a piece of plywood on top of those, and then added the new mattress. Covered the plywood with a bedskirt to protect the mattress. Added sturdiness. Love our mattress by the way!

I have memory foam mattress, it's bit harder then regular foam mattresses and it works. Eventually I'll use it on the floor when I'll get use to it more. Thanks!

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.
