 We are planning on buying a latex mattress soon, (probably either sleepez or savvy rest) and I am looking at bed frames. (have to get a new one as we are going from a queen to a king)   I am wondering whether or not to get a platform bed or one that uses a box spring.   (actually we're looking at the BedWorks of Maine- saw them on the Savvy Mattress website.   

Any thoughts or suggestions?   I'm also wondering if we can put a new slatted bed base on an existing platform bed?  I did like the looks of some of the ikea slatted bed bases:  

SULTAN LAXEBY

Slatted bed base: 39 slats of layer-glued birch, divided into 5 comfort zones, adjust to your body weight and increase the suppleness of the mattress.
any thoughts on that?   
Thanx as always,

PS I'm also wondering if the platform will be too low.   I have a right transfemoral amputation, so getting up from lower heights could possibly be an issue, but the dogs could get up easier, lol!
