Questions, answered
Do you need a box spring with a hybrid mattress?
No. A hybrid, foam or latex mattress needs a solid, even base rather than a traditional sprung box spring, which flexes under the coils and can shorten the life of the bed. A solid wood foundation, a platform bed or an adjustable base all do the job. What matters is that the surface does not give way underneath the mattress, especially through the middle.
What is the best foundation for a hybrid mattress?
A solid, traditional wood foundation is the straightforward answer, because it gives the coils a flat and unyielding surface to work against. Our own Mattress On Demand foundations are built from traditional wood in Texas, come in a black finish and carry a 1-Year Warranty. In king, the foundation arrives as two twin XL pieces, which also makes it far easier to get up a staircase.
What is the best foundation for a latex or organic mattress?
The Naturepedic Deluxe Organic Bed Foundation is the one to look at if you have chosen an organic or latex mattress and want the base to match. It uses GOTS certified organic cotton, is MADE SAFE certified, and is made in the USA with domestic and global materials. It carries a 10-year limited warranty against defects in workmanship.
Which foundation height should I choose?
Pick the height that gets the top of your mattress where you want it. We build our foundations in 2-inch, 4-inch and 8-inch heights: the 8-inch is the standard choice and gives a traditional bed height, the 4-inch is the middle ground, and the 2-inch low profile keeps a tall mattress from sitting too high in a frame or swallowing a headboard. Measure your frame first.
Can I put a mattress straight onto a platform bed with slats?
Usually yes, as long as the slats are close enough together to support the mattress evenly. As a rule of thumb, gaps wider than about three inches let a foam or hybrid mattress bow between the slats, and that shows up as a soft spot later. If the gaps are wider, a solid foundation or a bunkie board on top solves it. Bring a photo of your frame in and we will tell you.
Do I still need a foundation if I already have a bed frame?
It depends on what the frame actually supports. A platform bed with a solid deck or closely spaced slats already does the job of a foundation, so adding one only raises the height. A metal frame with open rails needs a foundation on top, because there is nothing for the mattress to sit on. A queen or larger also needs a centre support leg running to the floor.
Will you deliver and set up a foundation?
Yes. Delivery is free nationwide, and locally our own team handles delivery and setup rather than a third-party carrier, so the foundation goes into the room and the packaging leaves with us. We confirm the window when the order is placed. If you are replacing a foundation and mattress together, say so when you order so the crew arrives prepared.
