Can this be used on a platform bed frame, meaning without a box spring?

Yes it is well suited for a platform bed. In Europe the ideal choice for a latex mattress is the platform bed.

Yes, I'm using it on a platform bed without a box spring, and it works great!

I have a platform bed and this mattress feels fine on it. I was also concerned about this before purchase and called Sleep-EZ on the phone. They said it should be fine but after a few weeks of getting used to latex, if I felt like I more cushioning was needed between the mattress and the platform, a simple solution would just be to purchase regular poly foam to put between platform and bottom of mattress as it would not change the "feel" of the latex and only add thickness between mattress and platform. Sounds like a good plan to me if the need arises.

I don't see why not. The bed might be a little more firmer since the box spring does add a small smidge of flex. The bed that I have is sitting on the box spring from my last bed simply because it would be too low without it.

As stated previously before, this is a platform bed. No box spring is needed.

No because the frame has the motor and everything that operates your bed attached to it. I'm assuming you're talking about a bed where the mattress just sits down on it. If that is the case, it won't work. I believe that the legs are attached and there are extenders to make the bed taller if you want it to be higher. This bed is extremely heavy and I don't think I would want to put it on a platform.

i would think it would be able to be used with a platform bed with no box spring. it depends on the setup of your platform bed. there is an opening from the floor up to approximately 16.5" from the ground where hopefully your platform bed would be able to block the opening so then that way only the upper part of the wood frame and shelf would show.

No you dont you need a platform bed frame. We bought one from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001GQ87NY/ref=ya_aw_oh_pit

If you are putting this mattress on a traditional bed frame without supports, yes. If you're putting the mattress on a platform bed, which I believe is recommended practice for these types of mattress, no.

I guess you can but we do not. We put this on an old waterbed frame (like a platform). Just have the mattress on, no box spring.

Yes it does I have it on an old box spring on a bed frame, could use on a platform bed also

No. It's just the mattress. It's supposedly suitable for sleeping on a platform bed without using a box spring. ( or a bed frame with proper supports all the way across, not the kind with just rails ). Although it's shown on top of a box spring, they describe it as not needing one if you don't have one, as long as the frame you put it on has enough support across it. ( such as the Pragma bed frames that are foldable and have wire mesh all the way across the frame. )

It would require a box spring if you do not have a solid surface like a platform or captain bed.

I used a platform bed frame that has multiple slats and no need for a box spring. It is firm and very comfortable, perfect for that platform bed.

No. I bought a frame platform without a box frame. It's nice because it sits 14" up from the floor so there's room for storage underneath.

As long as you have a foundation. This is not a platform bed, the slats are made to support a boxspring, not act as one.

I suppose you could though the platform bed is designed to support just the mattress. I put a memory foam mattress on mine but it set too low. I put a base under it and it fit perfect. I'm certain a box spring would as well.

Don't use a box spring. You'd need a ladder to climb up onto this bed if you did ;)

No, not without modifications. It's really a platform bed meant for a springless mattress.

If you are putting it on a frame, then yes. Get a low profile box spring. If you are putting it on a bed with a flat base, then no.
