I don't like this walmart foundation.

Why not? I'm curious, since I haven't unboxed mine and set it up yet.

I used to have a waterbed and used a mattress in it for a long time rather than buying a boxspring.  That would be one sort of platform bed. I'd think that you could pretty much use a piece of plywood with a little edge on it for a platform.  I've heard of egg crates(the plastic kind that egg cartons are shipped in)being used to hold the wood up off the floor. 

Foundations are merely the support for the mattress, and can be pretty much whatever you want them to be.  They can be stupidly expensive for no good reason.  I know that if you get a box spring with actual springs in it, it will be much softer and somewhat less suportive under your mattress(but can feel sooo good, if that is the feel you desire).  We have one like that;   I firmed it up under my hips with a piece of firm plastic on top so it doesn't sink.
