Foundations

Whether choosing the perfect guest bed or replacing your old mattress, finding the best foundation is key. Why is a foundation so important? A good foundation will prolong the lifespan of your mattress, provide more support, absorb shock, reduce pressure points, and add a little height to your sleep solution. So, when you buy a mattress foundation, you want to make sure it matches your mattress. And our family is here to help guide you to the best foundation.

Before choosing the best brand or size, you need to decide on the best foundation type. What does the best look like? The best foundation type will be at the right height for you to slip in and out of bed without struggling (and doesn’t make your mattress feel uncomfortable).

• Standard foundations are 7.5 to 9 in high, which might make thicker mattresses too tall.
• Low-profile foundations are 4.5 to 6.5 in high, lowering your mattress to a more manageable level.
• Ultra-low foundations are 3 in or fewer, which is the shortest height and ideal for people of petite stature.
• Adjustable basess provide custom support with motorized head and foot adjustability for additional life benefits like targeted support, better circulation, sleep apnea or asthma relief, and more.
• A standard metal bed frame is a low-maintenance solution that holds foundations or box springs in place (some sizes are adjustable).

One way to find the best foundation is to search for the highest mattress foundation reviews. This will lead you to brands like Tempur-Pedic, Stearns & Foster, Sealy, and Beautryrest. Thankfully, our wide selection includes these brands and many more. Plus, we carry the right size for your sleep solution, so you can buy a mattress foundation that fits perfectly.

• Queen mattresses need a mattress foundation queen-size to fit perfectly.
• King mattresses, or two twin XL mattresses, require a mattress foundation king-size for the best support.
• Full mattresses will fit perfectly on a mattress foundation full-size for even support.
• A single twin mattress requires a twin mattress foundation or platform bed.

Wondering which foundation is best for your mattress type?

• The best foundation for a memory foam mattress is an adjustable bed frame (or powerbase), foundation, or platform bed.
• The best foundation for a hybrid mattress is a box spring or a foundation (a box spring has steel coils that will damage a foam mattress).
• The best foundation for an innerspring mattress is also either a box spring or foundation.

Keep in mind to check your mattress warranty, as it will usually tell you the best foundation support needed.
