Okay, I can't get a read on this... some say it needs a box spring, some say it does not...? why would it need a box spring? is there a slatted base?

The bed looks similar to a jail cell bars on the bottom (haha) You can use it either way, with or without springs, but I think it would look a little strange without a box spring. I use both, looks good.

You do not HAvE to use a box spring. We like our bed to be high off the ground so we chose too. It works either way and looks great!

The base has great, built in metal slats, you definitely don't need a box spring. This is a really terrific bed!

There is a slatted base. The only reason you would need a box spring is if your mattress is really thin, just to keep it from being so low to the ground aesthetically, but not for functionality.

No box spring is necessary if you have enough bed slates. My bed frame has about 20 wooden curved slats so I do not use a box spring. On a typical bed frame that only has 3 or 4 supports, you most definitely would need something. There is also the option of using a platform bed frame which is a solid board.

Yes it needs some kind of solid platform or box springs. Either one will work just fine. We used a box spring and that has worked great.

You certainly need some type of support structure. If you have a platform bed, then you do not need a box spring. If you only have a frame, you need a support structure, the most common being a box spring. I mean you could use a piece of plywood provided there was enough support. Personally, I bought a box spring and a frame.

A box spring or a platform bed is necessary. I bought a platform bed similar to the one in the main picture

It really doesn't need a box spring. It just needs a solid / firm base to rest on.

Box spring is definitely not needed. The bed is already tall enough as it is - we are joking about getting a small step ladder to get on it! :)

I just use a wooden slatted platform bed and that is all that is required. DO NOT buy a box frame for reasons other than wanting to raise the bed higher off the ground. I would add that had I had it to do over again, I would have dropped from a 4 to a 1 or 2 since I like a very hard bed. a good product.

No, infact, I had it on the ground for a few days. Then I bought a raised platform bed. The bed needs a very solid support foundation and most people tend to have a box spring on hand from a previous bed. I say it's all up to you.

I also used the mattress on a trundle--no box springs needed. I guess the answer depends on where you plan to place the mattress. If on a slatted bed frame, no box springs needed. If on a different kind of foundation, or if you want the bed higher up, then you'd need to buy box springs separately.

You are correct. My daughter has this bed and it does not require a box spring. We love it!! Very easy to assemble.

I just got two of these beds, you could use a box springs. We choose not to however it works either way.

Does not include slats. They're not needed either. The rails have a small lip on them which a box spring will fit on.

It does not have slats you will need a box spring. You cannot use the frame without a box spring

you don't need any slats. It is designed for a memory foam mattress to lay right over the top. It eliminates the box spring, I should have put this thing in years ago!

No box spring needed. I had to throw mine away. But the extra storage was worth it.

You will need a box spring, only three slats come with it. I recommend this bed for guest only and not regular family usage.
