Feeling like your mattress isn’t providing enough support? Let’s check your foundation!Updated an hour ago

Your Essentia mattress is designed to deliver the support and pressure relief you need for restorative sleep. If your mattress doesn’t feel as supportive as expected, your foundation or bed frame could be contributing to the issue.

For the best performance, your Essentia mattress needs a flat, firm, supportive surface. Your bed frame must also be sturdy enough to support the combined weight of the mattress and sleepers without sagging.

Which foundations work best with Essentia?

• Align X Adjustable Foundation: An adjustable foundation option for your Essentia mattress.
• No Flex Foundation: Designed to be used on a compatible bed frame. Or opt to purchase the optional legs to use the foundation with legs as the overall mattress support,
• A slatted bed frame: Slats must be flat, firm, and spaced no more than 3 inches apart.
• A solid platform bed frame: Provides a firm, even surface. Make sure there is adequate airflow and that moisture cannot become trapped beneath your mattress. Or that you are managing the humidity of the home with central air and a constant temperature.

Which foundations should you avoid?

• Curved or bowed slats: These can compromise the even support your mattress needs.
• Bed frames without a foundation: If your foundation has no solid surface or suitable slats, you'll need a compatible foundation. 
• Steel grids with openings larger than 3 inches: These may not provide adequate support. 
• Box springs or spring-based foundations: These are not suitable for your Essentia mattress and will void your warranty. 
• Placing your mattress directly on the floor: Moisture can become trapped underneath, increasing the risk of mold or mildew.

A quick warranty reminder: Using an improper foundation can void your mattress warranty, so it’s important to make sure your setup meets Essentia’s support requirements.
