Mattress directly on top of a slatted bed?

[corwin]

Everybody sweats in bed, a lot, probably more than anyone would guess.

If it goes all the way through to the bottom of the mattress there's something wrong...seriously wrong

 

[corwin]

why would i use a box spring on a bed that's designed not to use one?

More comfortable and raises the bed surface higher off the floor...maybe it's just because I'm over 6' but having a bed that low would suck. And I've never heard of one being "designed" not to use a box spring...well, except for water beds

LOL at the suckers who still buy box springs 😀

it's the same comfort level and mine is designed at the right height. it's not like the mattress is just sitting on the floor.

Comfort is perception, I prefer box springs and can feel the difference, you may not...and the "right height" can be preference too I guess, mine is almost 3' high, any less feels like it might as well be on the floor

slats=air flow
plywood= trapped moisture and mold

Came in here to say this.

There is zero good reasons to put plywood underneath.

The slats are the boxspring equivalent on a slat bed. That's the whole point of them.

mattress on slat is fine.

mattress that doesn't suck on top of something else that doesn't suck is fine.

damn, I need to find me a new bed.

My new slatted bed is actually higher than any bed I've ever had before.

This is the bed I got:
