Can you put a box spring and mattress on a sleeper sofa frame?
i guess what i really want to call it is a sofa bed - - queen size
How do you get a full size box spring mattress through a narrow doorway and up a narrow staircase to a 3rd floor bedroom?
I don't think you can. I'm in the same dilemma. They make 'foldable' full box/frames in one. You have to put them together, but they take the place of the box spring and the frame - since they are one unit. I think I might get one. There is also a 'foldable' box mattress. I think you have to google box spring and you should get some hits.
Do you need a box spring for a mattress to be comfortable?
You can put a mattress on the floor and it will be ok to sleep on. Box springs are a unit that allows you to use the matress on a bed. The springs sit on the edges of the bed frame and keep the mattress from falling on the floor. If your bed frame has slats that go across from one side to the other, you can just use a mattress. It won't be as comfortable.
Can you put full size mattress on futon frame?
I had a futon bed frame (one that does not fold up). The futon mattress wore out and I wanted something better for my back. I bought a queen size mattress (no box spring) and have been using it like that for two years. It works great and no one knows the difference.
Do you have to put the box spring and mattress on rails?
You don't have to; in my first apartment, I didn't bother setting up the bed frame and just set the box springs directly on the floor. I don't necessarily recommend it, but it's not like the Bed Police are going to come and arrest you if you do it.
Do you need a box spring with a platform bed that has slats 16 inches apart?
Yes. The mattress will sag between the slats. An unsupported mattress will not only lose its integrity, it can cause problems with your back, not to mention your sleep. Mattress warrantees may also be voided if not supported by a proper foundation. Many people purchase platform beds for their low profile. If a mattress and foundation set makes the bed higher then desired, there are low profile foundations available to put under the mattress. If any foundation rises the mattress higher then desired, a plywood deck may be used. Be sure to check your manufacturer warrantee on the use of decking. If all the above fails, there are mattresses available that have a frame build into the bottom of the mattress. These mattresses are widely used for bunk beds in twin and full sizes. Other than low profile, the other reason people buy platform beds is because it saves money on box spring. before saying no, i would suggest you give it a try, see if there is a sagging problem or if you will have trouble sleeping at night. If none of that happens, then a box spring may not be needed. Of course, if you have the budget and don't mind spending another $300, then buying a matching box spring is always a good idea. I have found this blog about platform bed is useful, maybe you should keep track of it, it has a post just discussing the issue about box spring on a platform bed.
Is a foundation necessary for a memory foam mattress?
No but it makes a HUGE difference. If you put a memory foam pad down on the ground or on some cushions or even on an air mattress, you will not be very satisfied. Although there is an improvement, you need a regular box spring + mattress for a memory foam pad to provide its full (and very comfortable) effect.
Does it matter if you use warm or cold air when inflating an air mattress?
you should put room temp air in the mattress. if the air is initially too warm when it cools the mattress will deflate because as air cools it becomes more dense. however, if it is too cold and warms up too much it could burst. because when air warms up it becomse less dense and expands.

Can you fit a queen mattress in an explorer without the box springs?
Put it on the roof. if you try to fold it in half and squeeze in - you will ruin the matterss. if you are going to put it on the roof - get your matterss cover.
Can you put a queen size mattress in a full frame?
Probably not. A "standard" (some vary) queen size mattress is longer and wider than a full -- 60" x 80" v. 54" x 75". Whether it will fit depends of course on the individual bed frame, but a rigid queen-size box spring (foundation) is even less likely to squeeze in than the mattress. If the mattress is not properly supported it may be uncomfortable, unstable, or damaged.
