Hastens on platform bed
|
Hello all, I am shopping for new bedroom furniture and found a platform bed that I like. I am considering purchasing a Hastens mattress and am wondering if anyone has a Hastens mattress on a platform bed frame (no box spring). I know the mattress will feel firmer without the box spring, I'm just wondering how different it will feel with regard to responsiveness, etc. I stopped in at a Hastens store and tried the 2000T and the Excelsior. The sales person said that they sell many without the box spring and have had no complaints. I plan to go back to the store and they will put the mattress on the floor so that I can get a better feel. I appreciate your input. Thank you. |

Karsha, you're welcome! When you go back to the Hastens store, if the Excel feels too firm on the floor, try their Superia model. It uses 15cm, 8-turn springs instead of the Excel's 13cm, 6-turn springs. The extra coil height in the mattress will probably make much more of a difference on a platform bed. You can always add a box spring later, if you find you need it. Hastens was our first choice for a mattress (nothing beats cotton, wool and horsehair for comfort layers), but boy are they expensive! Good luck, and please let us know how it works for you. Jim |

| Jim - Thank you so much. I will certainly add the Superia to my list when I return to Hastens. |
