Very nice platform, doesnt need a boxspring whether you have a foam or normal mattress.
Let me start by saying I have opened 2 platform boxes, and have learned that if you open them while they are standing on their side make sure you wear sturdy steel topped boots, because there is a small box filled with metal supports that will do its best to fall out onto your toes.
I am very happy to rate this 5 stars. I used it with a 10 inch foam mattress and there was absolutely no reason to use a box spring. The wooden slats are only 2.5 inches apart and provide ample support for any mattress, so the savings on a box spring alone make this platform purchase a no brainer.
Assembly was easy and only took 33 minutes once it was out of the box. Directions were fine, but they were only pictures so a little brain power is needed. Guys wont notice since we dont need directions...
As with other frames there is no ridge around the outside to stop the mattress from sliding around, but since there is no box spring, the mattress itself is not inclined to slide anyway. If you do, for some reason use a box spring, you should expect to have to realign it after making the bed.
There is about 6 of clearance under the bed for storing things or placing one of those handy under the bed drawers. A 10 mattress should cover the gap between headboard and frame. The fabric is nice and seems like it will last much longer than the vinyl covering on the headboard found in other platforms. And the wooden slats are great because they dont squeak at all.
Overall I found this platform to be everything it was advertised to be and the construction much better than expected. Give it a try, you wont be disappointed.
