Airweave mattresses can work on any type of bed frame with the exception of adjustable beds. Having tried a lot of types ourselves at the airweave HQ, we prefer the platform bed frame with a flat surface (no slats) the most. If you prefer a bed frame with slats we recommend that the slats are no further than 2 inches apart. If the slats are any further apart it may make the mattress feel uneven due to its modular setup. We do not recommend the Futon be used on a bed frame with slats. The Futon should be used either directly on the floor (i.e. traditional Japanese style) or on another futon or mattress (i.e. mattress topper style).
