Question 1

Do you need a bed foundation?

Accepted Answer

Unless you want to sleep with your mattress directly on the floor, you'll typically need a box spring to support your mattress. If you choose the Layla Platform Bed, Layla Foundation, or Layla Adjustable Bed Base, you wonu2019t need a foundation. But the Layla Bed Frame requires a box spring.

Question 2

Can you put a mattress directly on slats?

Accepted Answer

If your bed already has built-in slats, like those in the platform bed, you don't need a box spring. So, yes, you can put a mattress directly on the slats.

Question 3

What's the difference between a foundation and a box spring?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is that there is no difference. They're usually interchangeable. A mattress foundation used to be a wooden box with springs or a metal grid to support an innerspring mattress. But most modern mattress foundations are still referred to box springs for the sake of convenience.
