One has to be aware of the weight you are adding. The platform, an open area the size of a king/queen bed with a 1/2" plywood platform as the support for your mattress has limits or the plywood will bow. Some have indicated there is no problem no matter what, IMO that isn't the case.

I replace every OE mattress before I take possession. I buy very nice mattresses that are heavier. I do not however buy 300lb. mattresses due to the above. The little "support" board across that platform just pulls the screws out if you have too much weight. It has to be beefed up. Be aware of the weight and limitations of the bed platform and base...because it has them and they are not that much. I have added supports to mine, stronger struts etc. Just to say they aren't capable of supporting "whatever" on them without incurring problems.
