Finding the right foundation or bed frame for your mattress can be just as important as the mattress itself. If you don’t have the right support for your mattress, you might be missing out on experiencing all the benefits of that mattress.

Different types of mattresses require different foundations. For example, memory foam mattresses are best supported by strong, sturdy foundations like flat platforms, slatted beds or even the floor. Other factors you’ll want to consider when choosing your bed foundation are budget, durability, ease of set-up and breakdown, warranty, and style/design (if that’s important to you).
