The Best Foundations or Base for Latex or All Foam Mattress

[phoenix]

Hi mhswlee,

I recently purchased a Dreamfoam latex mattress.

Congratulations on your new mattress

As you know you certainly made a great quality/value choice and I’m looking forward to your comments and feedback once you’ve received it and have had the chance to sleep on it for a bit.

Their site says that a board is an acceptable foundation. However, I am concerned that it could possibly interfere with the ability of the mattress to breathe, given the way that the holes in latex appear to line up. What do you all think?

I don’t see any comments on their site about a solid surface support system but you can see my comments about a solid support surface under a mattress (such as plywood or MDF) in post #10 here. While it would certainly be “supportive” enough … they can be an additional risk factor relative to the formation or mold or mildew … particularly if there are other risk factors involved that could contribute to the formation or mold or mildew in a mattress. Having said that … if there are no other risk factors involved then it should be fine.
