A word of caution for foam mattresses
Got this to use as a box spring base for my new Ghostbed mattress. Since most internet-ordered foam mattresses are essentially the same, I assume my advice here may be suitable for others also thinking of using this for Casper, Leesa, Purple, Tuft, Tempurpedic, Helix, etc.
The box spring itself is incredible easy and quick to put together. The price is also great. I highly recommend this as a generic box spring. A word of caution for the foam people though - the slats on this item are 3 inches apart. Someone else guesstimated they were 2.5" and I purchased the item based on their guess. Well, I actually measured it with a ruler once I got it and the slats themselves are 3" wide and the space between them is also 3". This might be a hiccup because I emailed Ghostbed the company and they prefer a 2-inch or closer slat foundation, well tighter than the 3 inches this provides. Since all of the foam mattresses are essentially the same, the other companies likely have the same requirements. I am keeping this item regardless since I only have a full mattress (which is still quite heavy) but it's only being used by my very small daughter for the next few years. I'm hoping it'll be OK, but if you're in the market for a foundation for your new internet foam bed, I would recommend looking around to see if you can find any other box springs with closer-together slats.
