Amerisleep too high
Looking at your response to Helen I think that my question may have been answered. Items I purchased: Amerisleep king memory foam mattress with foundation King bed Issues: The bed has wooden slates that you roll out and screw into place. It also has a mattress support that goes under slates. When putting the foundation I purchased with mattress on the slats and then the mattress on foundation…I find myself having to almost jump up on the bed!
The mattress is about 3-4 feet off the ground. I read where you stated the memory foam needed to breathe so putting plywood over the slats and not using the foundation I purchased is out of the question. Should I just deal with the height or ?

Hi Kevin,
I am wondering whether you have actually placed the base (as you call foundation) directly on top of a further bedframe?
I had a quick look at Amerisleep and cannot see a model as you describe.
To jump even three foot into a bed just doesn’t make sense – and even though the depth of the mattress you have is extraordinarily high does not conclude that it requires an additional foundation base on top of a slatted frame.
I am assuming your mattress is memory foam on top of further foam layer[s] and really, it could be placed directly on the slats themselves without any undue worry.
It might be worth noting that we ourselves can construct a shallow base, if you are struggling with height issues. We can reduce our Artisan Base to 6″ at the lowest; As such there would be no drawer options available with these bases. We could then construct with our standard 2 inch castors or glides but alternatively you could also opt for wooden legs instead. There would be an additional charge here of 10% and as this is a non-standard size we wouldn’t offer our 60 day love it or return it guarantee due to the limited resale ability we have.
