Will this bed hold approx. 18" of mattress and boxspring and still have enough headboard to use?

Not really - out mattress and box spring together are about 18" and there is only 12" of headboard left...so would recommend that you go with platforms or just the mattress on the support ribs.

There is no bed frame with this headboard you must provide your own. Yes, you will need a box spring.

You should be okay but call the vendor to be sure. I also have mine on 1x4 pine slats with 2" or so spaces in between the boards. I am sure you don't need a box spring though. The bed is absolutely fantastic!

You probably can, but the bed would be really, really high. This frame stands about 15 inches high fully assembled, and the height is not adjustable. Personally, with our 18-inch mattress, I wouldn't want it any higher. I honestly don't think it needs a box spring, though. It's really stable and firm.

I have only had it assembled for a few days now but it seemed to hold about 170 pounds just fine overnight. There are multiple boards holding up the mattress so the weight is displaced decently on the top bed (a slim box spring would probably give it even more strength - just don't get a regular box spring unless you don't mind that the head boards are even to the mattress. I had to return our box spring because of that & will be getting a slim box spring instead.). The bottom bed I would be hesitant on using a lot of weight since the wheels that support the bed do not seem as sturdy. Hope that helps.

My frame did not come with a box spring. It doesn't have much support, just enough to hold the mattress. In short yes.

I use an 18 inch matress. It comes a little above the bottom part of the headboard. No box springs necessary. This bed had the most sturdy slats system I have ever used.

There is extra room. I only have on my mattress, but it is baggy. I would say good bet it will fit a box spring.

Yes. My husband attached our current headboard and footboard to this. We decided to use only the mattress with this frame because it was too high up with the box spring but you can try.

The instructions say that a box spring is not needed. I put mine on, and the mattress (I have a pillow top) is definitely higher than the footboard. The round finial posts are a few inches below the mattress. You can still see the headboard, but only a foot or so. I personally think it looks fine, just depends on your own preference.

Be sure to read the entire description. I purchased a headboard only. I think there is also a footboard, but it does not come with the bed frame. The purchaser would need to supply the bod frame; thus you would certainly need a box spring.

The headboard does not come with a bed frame. I purchased the bed frame separately and yes you will need a box spring to support your mattress.

The frame is only a little over a foot high, so if you use a box spring it won't make the bed too tall. However, the bed might become really firm. (Just my guess.)

I did this correctly, I measured from the bottom of where the frame is to the ground/bottom of the headboard, which is about 4 inches. However, I also have a low frame. I really can store anything that isn't flat under my bed. I'm not sure if this helps or not. sorry!

I think you would need a king boxspring. Otherwise there would be not support in the middle to hold up the twin boxspring. Sincerely, Russell West Wrest Furnishings

I think you will need a box spring. The distance from the floor to the bottom of the headboard is about 18 inches.

It will hold a 17", but mine slides off if you tilt it. I don't see why it wouldn't hold a 18", but I wouldn't go bigger than that, in my opinion.
