Can I Use My Existing Box Spring or Foundation?

We recommend a platform bed, bed slats, foundation, or adjustable bed to support your mattress.

A platform bed, bed slats, foundation, or adjustable bed is best for your mattress. Our Avocado Green Mattress is designed to work best on a rigid, non-spring foundation, platform, adjustable bed base, or slatted foundation with a maximum spacing of five inches between slats.

Using a box spring with an Avocado Mattress can make it feel too springy. However, foundations do not have internal springs, making them ideal for beds and frames that require a base layer under the mattress.

We do not recommend resting your mattress on the floor or any non-breathable surface. A solid surface that doesn't allow breathability in rare instances can cause mold to grow.
