bed technology question

[rm]

We're looking at getting this bed: http://www.target.com/Black-Bed-Frame-Queen/dp/B00160LE8U/qid=1222873889/ref=br_1_8/601-0852730-7904930?ie=UTF8&node=368295011&frombrowse=1&rh=&page=1

Currently we have a futon mattress that we'd like to hang onto for now (or even replace with another futon mattress).

I'm realizing that the way the bed is designed won't really support the futon. Is there something weird and random we can do to make a futon work in this thing? I keep thinking about those slats they have in some Ikea beds, the measurements look wrong. Thoughts?

Plywood or even ropes (it's the new chic thing in bedding) to make the "box springs" that aren't as tall.
