Do you need a box spring with this?

My twins are 5 and they've been using these beds with just a mattress for 1.5 years; however, you will need to add more slats if you don't use a box spring or foundation. There were only 3 slats that came with the frame, so the mattress would sag in between the slats. We cut four 3-4" wide slats from particle board and that has worked well for us.

Yes, because there's only three slates for support. This bed is ok, but this manufactor sent damaged bed rails and then took over two months to send new ones. They were also very rude during the process.

we got a bunky board which was suggested since we were going to use bed rails and a box spring would have been too thick. For a child you don't need the box spring but for an adult I would suggest it. I love this bed. I have 2 daughters and we got the first bed for our oldest when she was out of the crib and now that our second daughter is out of the crib we got another of the exact bed. We did spend a bit more on good mattresses but they both love their beds.

No box spring is needed. Ours is sitting on plywood and is still very comfortable.

I am not using a box spring myself but you could use one. The bed would be on the high side if a box spring was used though.

Yes you will need one, we just used our old box spring. The mattress is firm but is still holding up for the price not bad.

Definitely does not need a box spring. In fact you should not use a box spring. The bed is very thick. Place it on a frame and it will end up higher than the old frame/box spring/mattress combo. And I like the higher profile.

A box spring isn't necessary. The bed is designed to place the mattress directly on top of the frame.

No this bed does not need a box spring and it has about a foot of clearance with mid support legs.

You could use a box spring but it isn't necessary. I will make the bed pretty tall.

You don't have to use a box spring. You can use a platform of some sort to support it, or you can buy a foundation for it as I did for another mattress. There's a few ways to set it up so that it's right for you.

yes letting you know though, you will not need a box springs at all...I had a pillow top mattress and nothing else fits.

It is a really tall bed, so no, I wouldn't use a box spring, or you'll have to literally climb into bed.. It's not necessary, either, as there are wood support slats to hold up the mattress.

You really don't need a box spring because of the way the frame is built but it seems sturdy enough that if you wanted to use the box spring too you could.

No, you don't need a traditional box spring with this. Ours is on a wooden frame, and we have another one on a frame we purchased from Amazon that is metal, with wooden cross supports. Wasn't expensive and everyone who has used our guest room said they had a comfortable sleeping experience. Hope this helps.

No box spring is needed, but as stated in an earlier response, you will need a couple extra slats.

Yes, you'll need either a box spring or another foundation of some sort. A mattress would fall through without it.

Yes a box spring is needed. The foundation are slats which would be placed too far apart for just a mattress. Also the bed would be super low with no box spring

The beauty of this bed is that is does not need a box spring. It is a platform bed. I did not use a box spring but i would think that you could if you wanted to .
