First of all, I had to sign up just to say thank you to Phoenix and all the folks that give input on this site. It helped me immensely in deciding on my mattress type.
I live in Austin, but decided to buy online from DreamFoam. I just happened to by in the Phoenix area for work last week and got to test out one of their mattresses in an actual showroom.
I’m not sure I’d know about any of this without this site.
My mattress should arrive next week and I’m looking forward to it.
However, I need some help!
I’m moving to a new place, and my entire married life, we’ve had a series of box spring or IKEA slat system beds.
I’m about to snag a used bed locally, but I’m completely baffled about what I need outside of the bed itself.
e.g., if I were to buy this bed frame:

What the heck do I need to support the mattress?
I had planned on getting this:
But do I need a metal frame support as well?
I’m too old to be this ignorant, but I just haven’t much thought about it in 20+ years.
Now…ask me about cars and I can usually tell you some stuff…
TIA for any help y’all, and good to officially be aboard.
