I did so, and yes it's lower, but what bugs me is the creaking noises. I never heard anything when I had a regular mattress on the box spring, but with the memory foam mattress on top, it makes loud creaking noises when I shift positions. Not always, but often. I'm thinking about putting a plywood board between the mattress and box springs.

It's a good, supportive foundation. I'm no mattress expert, but don't see any reason why this box spring would not be a good fit for memory foam.

Yes, my Mom's bed is a 8" memory foam mattress and it was about 2" above her mattress. My husband drilled another set of holes in the rails so the rails would fit lower than the mattress. BTW my mom really like the bed rails. She feels safe and she uses them to help her turn at night.

Not sure we had a box spring we just put it on top of that. No problems. It is a good mattress.

the memory foam mattress is 12 inch high and probably will make your bed quite high to get into. We didn't use a boxspring with ours and you certainly don't need one with this mattress, it just your personal height preference that you like for a bed. One of the responders stated that it will void the warranty, which is not quite true, the warranty states that the foundation must be even or flat which I would assume your boxspring would be.

Have a spring mattress with a foam layer on top --- no problem -- but don't know about memory foam

You can use a box spring with the Sleep Master frame. However, since the top of the frame is 14 inches, it is already at the standard height of a frame and box spring, so putting a box spring on top would increase the height of your mattress by whatever the thickness of your box spring is. We tried it just to see how high it would be, and for us it was just too high.

You do not need a box spring for this bed. I had a box spring and used it with the mattress on this bed, the result is that the combined height of the mattress and box spring reaches to practically the top of the foot frame.

Foam mattresses don't use box springs. You will need a frame or a support system.. We used a sheet of heavy plywood In our bed frame. It was cheap and works great. Hope this helps!

That's an interesting question, but I don't believe that would be the case. The wires are on top but then there are strong metal bars which run opposite direction of the wires. While I cannot be certain that pressure won't force a tiny amount of the mattress through the cubed holes, I'm sure the mattress will be just fine on top of the frame. If you believe your mattress is marshmallow soft underneath, then I would recommend getting a box spring to alleviate your fear since few frames will then suit your purpose.

we were not able to use the box springs with this bed but we do have a memory foam on top of the matress. This works great for us.

From my experience the metal frame for this mattress must sit on the ground. If the bed frame you bought from Rooms to Go has a good amount of support beams you may just be able to put the memory foam mattress on top. Or if you have good general box spring you might be able to put it on that in your bed frame. In general though, this mattress set is made to attach a head board and foot board to the metal frame.

You can put it on top of any mattress but, although not that familiar with a memory foam mattress, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of that type of mattress since the egg crate foam would be a barrier to what the memory foam is suppose to do? - unless the memory foam is no longer doing what it was made to do then the egg crate foam would probably lend to a better sleep. I'm not sure if this is a good enough answer.

No box spring needed...we just put our son's memory foam mattress on the wooden slats. I would like to add that the bed frame sits about 12 inches off the floor so a box spring and mattress would make the bed very high.

No not a problem. But I wouldn't recommend a memory foam mattress, Because when U sit on the edge it gives to much and will make U slide off the bed. Just make sure you get and XL mattress also. The regular one fit ok as long as it lays flat, But when you raise the bed up is when you have a problem with the fit.

You place it on top of the box spring or directly on the springs of a hospital bed. Works great! My 89 yo father loved it. Said it was the most comfortable mattress he ever slept on!

I own this. It only needs a mattress. In fact, the lip of the bed frame is only about two inches, so a mattress on top of a box spring would be difficult to keep steady.
