does it need a box spring ?

The furniture piece I purchased was strictly headboard only; there was not frame other than the legs for the board. Because of the height of our own pillowtop mattress and boxsprings my husband raised this higher than the limit it originally came with. He did the work and had it done quickly so it wasn't hard to figure out.

No , it is only a headboard that attaches to the bed frame. You must already have the mattress and box spring on the frame in order for it to fit without much of a gap.

Yes. There would be a gap between the headboard and the mattress because of the height of the headboard if you didn't use a box spring with it.

Yes, you need a box spring with this! There are 4 slats that go across and that is not enough for the mattress.

Yes it has to have a box spring. You would be way too low with just a mattress. You can get a good box spring at Big Lots for hardly any cost if you have one of those stores near you.

No, you will need to buy a twin size mattress for it. No box spring needed.

You first need a bed frame but yes you need a box spring, you only get the head and foot board of this bed and it comes in pieces that you have to assemble.

I do not believe you need a box spring. I have the matress on a Bunkie Board in a bunk bed.

No you do not need a box spring. It came with slats underneath. We added a few wooden blocks just to make it extra secure and a pretty thick mattress on the full bed.

No you don't need a box spring unless you just like your mattress to sit really high. I have a memory foam mattress and I thought I would sink right through because I don't have a box spring but the frame alone was very supportive.

Our bed does not require a box spring. Our mattress fits directly on the slats of the bed. It works great!

You do not use a box spring with this bed. It would make the mattress too high. There are round metal rods that support the mattress. You need a mattress and that is it. I did place a thin board atop the metal rods to keep the shape of the mattress, but the board is not necessary.

A box spring isn't needed. I went w/o one for a bit but it was kinda low.. So I added one later.

The frame comes with it so you don't need a box spring. Everything is included!

Yes, you need a box spring. It only comes as headboard, footboard, and the frame. It's very nice. We're extremely happy with it.

Yes it does, and also you don't need a box spring for it either. I'm pretty happy with it.

I would say yes, it does required a box spring. The base is only 7inches off the floor and with a mattress 9 inches thick this probably would be too low. I have used a box spring and in total the top of the mattress is 25 inches off the floor

You don't need a box spring if you have a platform bed. If it's for a regular frame bed you need box spring.
