Although a foundation isn’t required, a support system for your mattress is highly recommended. We recommend avoiding the use of a traditional box spring directly under your mattress. Instead, we suggest using either a solid platform bed or a slatted foundation with firm, flat and thick slats, to properly support your Birch mattress. No matter which support system you choose, the slats should be no wider than 5.5 inches apart, as that could cause sagging and could potentially void your warranty. Learn more here.
We created the Birch Foundation to take the place of traditional box spring and provide a complementary natural aesthetic for your sleep setup.
