Question 1

Do I need a foundation for my mattress?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a foundation is necessary for a mattress. Without a foundation, the mattress will prematurely sag and won’t support you properly. A poorly-supported mattress will also trap heat and quickly collect dust, bacteria and dirt from the floor.

Question 2

What does "mattress foundation" mean?

Accepted Answer

A mattress foundation is a solid structure that the mattress rests on. It provides proper support for the mattress and sleeper. Additionally it can extend the lifespan of a mattress because it lifts it off the ground and promotes even airflow.

Question 3

What is the best foundation for a mattress?

Accepted Answer

Either solid foundations or those with wooden or metal slats. Solid mattress foundations consist of a sturdy frame with slats across the bed frame, but they must be placed closely together to adequately support the mattress. A solid foundation is a sturdy frame with slats, a support beam or a board covered with a breathable fabric to permit airflow.

Question 5

How much does a good mattress foundation cost?

Question 6

How to choose a mattress foundation?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the right foundation will depend on the mattress type and size. A memory foam mattress will need a foundation that promotes better airflow, like the Puffy Midnight Foundation. Solid structures like bunkie boards may block air circulation to the mattress. Hybrid mattresses are more advanced and have an open-cell structure so they can be used with any bed frame.

What happens if you put a mattress on the floor?
