Yes, it does! Because the Helix Kids Mattress is a hybrid mattress with layers of supportive foam, it needs a solid and sturdy base to prevent any sagging. This is also a requirement to keep your warranty valid!
Here's what works best:
- A solid platform bed.
- A slatted foundation with strong, wide slats that are no more than 5.5 inches apart.
We don't recommend using a traditional box spring, as it won't provide the even support your mattress needs to last for years to come.
