Queen size mattress dilemma!!!?


My boyfriend and I are moving in at the end of the week. We bought a bedroom set that includes a queen size bed with foot board, head board and rails. We got a memory Foam Mattress that is 75.0 x 39.0 x 8.0, we are wondering do you have to buy a box spring to put under the the memory foam or does the bed support it already.

Here is the description of the bed:

•Solid wood and wood veneer construction. Tops, fronts, rails, and structural components are solid pine
•Queen beds come with three slats and center supports

Here is a picture of the bed:

On the memory foam beds you do not need a box spring. The whole point of the memory foam is that it replaces the need for springs because springs can be really bad for your body and need to be replaced more than the memory foam bed itself. So to answer your question, no you do not need a box spring, although if youd perfer one to lift your bed up higher then it wouldn’t hurt you to get one but you definately do not need it. Hope that helps! Congrats on the bed, they are awesome beds!

    It looks like a bed that you don’t need a box springs for. The mattress just sits on the slats.

    Nice bed, I like it

    Personally, I would cut a piece of plywood to go over the three slats so that there was a flat supports under the mattress otherwise you risk having pressure points and excess wear where the foam rests on the slats.

    Call the store where you purchased the mattress and ask them.

    It does not require a boxspring but it does need either a rigid platform, foundation, or a slatted platform where the slats are spaced 2 inches or less apart from head to toe.
