No base needed! We just put the parts that make up the mattress right on the plywood platform after drilling the couple of holes, hook the lines up to the mattress bladders, plug in the silent compressor and sleep like babies on the comfy bed. We did put some larger sheets of the netting shelf liner on the plywood so the mattress does not slide around however. I drilled one hole on the side of the wood bedframe for the compressor cord to come out to plug into the wall outlet and the other in the flip plywood cover at the head of the bed for the air hoses to connect to the mattress. Our plywood bedcover is in two sections with hinged pieces -- one at the head of the bed (a small storage space) and the other is the strut supported storage compartment at the bottom. We keep the compressor in the top storage space. Works great there and not in the way of anything.
