Hello Suzanne, this twin mates bed is an economic option since it does not require the use of a box spring. For additional question, you can contact us at 1-800-290-0465 or visit us at www.southshore.com :)

DO NOT BUY THIS! I bought 3 last year and the mesh board frame cracks right in half with under 50lb of pressure. They are a nightmare to assemble and are the WORST beds I have ever seen

The bed comes with the frame as shown in the picture. I have box springs and a mattress on mine.If you have a very thick mattress, you may not need the box spring. I love this bed and use it in my guest house. It is sturdy and my guest say they love it.

Yes you will need a bed frame. It did not match mine perfectly, but I made it work.

I have the headboard in king but it's just that, a headboard. You still need to have a metal frame to attach it to, so I would say yes you need a box spring for the frame.

Correct, no box spring required. We've had this bed for years now and have had 3 different mattresses on it with no problems at all (some made for bunk beds and some not). Great bed!!

The frame is pre-drilled for a headboard and footboard. You will not need a box spring, though one may be used if you like.

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

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

There is really no reason to use a box spring at all. There are slats that go across the bed frame and that is all you need. If you did use a box spring, you would be rather high and your mattress might slide off trying to get in and out of bed.

You do not need a box spring for this bed. I had a box spring and used it with the mattress on this bed, the result is that the combined height of the mattress and box spring reaches to practically the top of the foot frame.

Yes, its the frame as well as bars that support the mattress. You would not use a box spring with this bed frame, just a mattress.

Yes. This frame will support a box spring if you want to use one. But, there is enough frame support that a box spring is not required.

No, you do not need a box spring. I have my mattress on a plain plywood board and it works fine.

Hi Kerri, I would not suggest using a box spring with this bed. It would be too high. It's an awesome bed btw. Easy to assemble.

You do not need a box spring. The floor of the bed is very stable with about 10 bars across.

If you have a platform bed with adequate slats, you do not need anything else. If you have a normal bed frame, you definitely need a box spring.

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