does the frame work well with having a box spring if you plan to use a memory foam mattress with it?

I have a king mattress and boxspring, the mattress is a combo gel & memory foam and works just fine with this frame.

It depends on how thick your mattress is and what is mad of. The frame works well with memory foam or latex mattress up to 10 inches. Anything higher than that may not be as flexible as the picture shown. As for spring mattress, unless it is pocket coil, regular bonnell spring mattress won't work with it.

The mattress itself is very flexible, but I would recommend a platform frame instead of a box spring.

Perfectly fine, I use just a memory foam mattress on top and it's been extremely comfortable. I'm not sure if a coil innerspring mattress would do well without a box frame but this is designed to replace a box frame.

It's pretty heavy. Most memory foam mattresses are. I don't think you need a box spring but you do need something that won't buckle easily.

the memory foam mattress is 12 inch high and probably will make your bed quite high to get into. We didn't use a boxspring with ours and you certainly don't need one with this mattress, it just your personal height preference that you like for a bed. One of the responders stated that it will void the warranty, which is not quite true, the warranty states that the foundation must be even or flat which I would assume your boxspring would be.

The frame requires a box spring BUT we bought a mattress that came with a metal frame that fit inside the bed frame perfectly!

I have just a mattress on the frame, with no box spring. The bed doesn't really need a box spring, but I was still fearful of sagging. So, I ordered two bed boards the place in between the mattress and frame and have had no problems.

I used my old base. It worked fine but I don't know if the memory foam would work. You might try it and if it doesn't box springs aren't too expensive.

I actually have a cali king mattress and it feels fine without a box spring. I haven't had any issues with the support from the frame itself.

I put my mattress on the frame and had no board and no trouble. Are you sure you put it together properly? Is there a box spring? I don't think it will stay on the frame without a box spring.

Yes it works. I would not use a box spring. The frame and a matress are enough and as for looks makes an appealing bed.

I put a low profile box spring with my memory foam but If you add additional slats I'm sure it would be fine

Yes, my wife and I use an 8" memory foam mattress on this frame, and it works well.I was surprised, and did not expect it to work as well as it does.

I did so with the memory foam mattress I purchased for my daughter's bed without problem. Mine is on a platform foundation. Realize that the box spring configuration is less firm. I have no idea about the long term effects of putting one on a box spring. My daughter loves hers.

I purchased a nice memory foam mattress with no box springs. It works just fine and is a very nice bed. It did come a little scuffed up from shipping but I didnt want the hassle of sending it back. It does come with support slats which are wood. They look flimsy, but surprisingly not at all.

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.
