Challenge: Memory Foam Mattress Frame

I just bought the King size from moofi and the Full Size from sell out. Now I need frames/advice from people who have them. Need a deal on the base platforms or whatever they are called plus on feedback on what people do for things other than that.

Those mattresses (if they are just like most memory foam mattresses) don't need a box spring like traditional mattresses do. That's the big reason you don't see them sold in sets very often. You can take your old box spring and lay some plywood or particle board over it. You can lay the mattress on the floor. Basically anything that will provide a smooth, flat, hard surface for the mattress to rest on.

Hey DJ !! The other guy is right, partly. What you need is called a
"FOUNDATION" !!! Just using an old box spring or doctoring it up with extras will defeat what the true qualities of the new bed are supposed to produce. I have worked in Mattress sales for quite a bit of time, and I always like to preface it tom my customers is " Low cost is Great--Comfort is priceless considering we spend the predominance of time in our cars AND beds. Hope this helps---------Alex

Anyone know of any deals on these foundations? I see this on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Thick-Foundation-memory-latex-mattresses/dp/B002RVCSRI
Can anyone beat that?

@carguy027: I didn't say that you could "just use an old box spring." Also, laying plywood on top of a box spring isn't "doctoring it up with extras." The only purpose of any foundation for a memory foam mattress is to raise the bed. They provide no other function than to do that with strength and firmness.

Try a metal platform bed frame like this one:

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
