Can I rest my Bear mattress directly on just the bed frame?

No.

Most bed frames are designed to support a foundation or support system underneath the mattress rather than the mattress itself.

The bed frame and foundation typically work together as part of the overall support system.

Without proper support underneath, the mattress may:

• Sag unevenly

• Feel less supportive

• Develop premature wear over time

• Shift between open frame gaps

• Lose proper spinal support and pressure relief

Most Bear mattresses require one of the following underneath the mattress:

• A supportive slatted foundation

• A platform base

• A solid foundation

• An adjustable base

Please Note

• Widely spaced frame gaps may not properly support the mattress

• Uneven support can affect mattress feel and long-term performance

• Slats should generally be supportive, at least 2 inches wide, and no more than 5.5 inches apart

• Using the correct foundation helps maximize comfort, support, and mattress longevity

• Improper support systems or unsupported bed frames may void the mattress warranty

• Purchasing a compatible Bear foundation or bed base can also help simplify any future warranty review process since our team knows the mattress is being paired with a properly supportive sleep system designed for Bear mattresses
