Was originally thinking of getting a Simple Life Foundation to pair with my new mattress, but wondering if anyone had an opinion on if I should just go with the free foundation as part of Selectfoam’s current offer? From what I have gathered from the foundations post, seems like the wood frame at Selectfoam is going to be the better choice.
Hi ssft,
The simple life foundation would be strong enough but it also doesn’t have the same surface area to support the mattress as a slatted wood foundation (there are more gaps in between the wires). The wires could also impress into the mattress over time although this would be more of a concern with a mattress that used latex in the support layers. If it was me I would go with the foundation they sell.

Thanks. This helped confirm my thinking so I’m going to go with Selectfoam’s foundation.
