Hi grandeson,

Thanks for taking the time to share an update … and it’s great to hear that your mattress is working out so well for you

My mattress is directly on my bed frame. Its not slats, its more of what looks like a kings size piece of particle board (albeit 2 pieces). No room for a boxspring or foundation due to height and design of furniture. I have read from some that mattresses need to breath or they can become moldy. This does scare me a bit. Is it wise to drill some quarter size holes in the particle board Ive mentioned? Since its been some time, is it already to late? Took a look today real quick, doesnt seem anythings growing as of yet. Please let me know your thoughts, thanks so much.

You can see my comments about a solid support surface under a mattress in post #10 here. While it’s true that they can add some additional risk in terms of ventilation under the mattress … in most cases if there aren’t any additional risk factors they would be fine. As an example I have an adjustable bed with a solid surface platform under my mattress but I don’t have any other significant risk factors so I personally have no concerns about any mold or mildew issues.
