I'm looking at buying the Ara Memory Foam Mattress (made by Sleep Science) from Costco.  Does anyone know if you need to buy a box spring separately?  I'm confused as to whether it comes with a box spring or not?

Hi mommylamb,

I am nearly certain you have to buy the box spring separately. But- I think they list two options on the site- one just mattress and the other as a set.

The top is mattress with foundation. The bottom is mattress only.

I have a friend with this mattress and he very much enjoys it.

You can buy it with or without the foundation (box spring, but not really any springs).   People have complained about the quality of the foundation they use, so a different one might be better.
