Anybody have a bed like this?

[mp170.6]

I'm thinking about buying this mattress from Costco. 

 

One little problem...the extra bedframe and box spring that I have is actually a double, not a queen.  That means I have to purchase an entire new bed set if I want the mattress.  Does anyone have an all-in-one headboard, bed frame, and faux "box spring" similar to what is pictured here? 

 

What are the pros and cons of this design when used with a foam mattress?

Better off investing money in a good mattress IMO.

 

We have a similar setup except instead of box springs we have two "bunky boards"  they are basically two inch thick boards that are used in place of a box spring on a bunk bed and a king sized mattress.  With our bed frame having box springs and a mattress didn't look right and made the bed very high up off the ground.

That is considered a good mattress which is why I'm interested in buying it.  Consumer Reports ranked it No. 2 in one of their studies and the customer reviews are overwhelmingly positive. 

 

I'm trying to figure out if that all-in-one headboard, bed frame, and "box spring" is the way to go -- or if I should stick to a traditional design.

Memory foam mattresses are difficult to bone on.

I've gotten to like the box springs with the feet to get them off the ground and no frame or headboard. More portable and maintainable.

You might be too young to remember the waterbed era.

I lost my virginity on a water bed. Probably not the best thing to try and do it on for the first time.

Eh, it's only a minute of your life.

Same here lol.  I got rid of it before I could perfect the cadence.

we had a water bed that had water-tubes inside a mattress frame instead of just being one big bag. no problems, plus it was really comfortable to sleep on.

The best thing about water beds was them being like a bed air conditioner in the summer. Turn the heater down to low and it didn't matter how hot the apartment got, you didn't sweat all night.

Yeah but they're a great spank bank accessory

He has a full sized bed right now.  My guess is not much boning.
