No this bed does not need a box spring and it has about a foot of clearance with mid support legs.

No, we just put the mattress on it. If you put a box spring, the mattress will be too high. The picture is what our little girl's bed looks like with just the mattress.

You do not use a box spring with this bed. It would make the mattress too high. There are round metal rods that support the mattress. You need a mattress and that is it. I did place a thin board atop the metal rods to keep the shape of the mattress, but the board is not necessary.

You don't need a box spring. But make sure you get all the parts they're supposed to send you!

No. You definitely need a bed frame to properly support the mattress and box spring.

The frame comes with it so you don't need a box spring. Everything is included!

No box spring required. There are two legs that stick out like a fork. It just slides and tucks under the mattress.

No box spring needed. But slats definitely needed. Make sure the gaps between slats are no more than 4", I would suggest.

Depends what kind of frame you have. If the frame has cross beams that support the mattress throughout then you don't need a box spring. If your frame supports the mattress only on the edges then you need a box spring.

I do use a box spring but one is probably not required as long as you have something flat to sit the mattress on.

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

No, it sits right on the 12 point base we purchased to go with it, no box spring needed.

You don't need a box spring if you have a platform bed. If it's for a regular frame bed you need box spring.

No, it does require box springs. There are only three slats that comes with it and your mattress will droop between the slats. Also, the mattress is approx the same height as the footboard/siderails so you would be sitting on the footboard/sideboard not the bed.

You do not need a box spring. The wood slats are fine. I have a memory foam mattress on the slats.

No you do not need a box spring. It came with slats underneath. We added a few wooden blocks just to make it extra secure and a pretty thick mattress on the full bed.

No box spring required, and it would be too tall with one. The mattress rests mostly on the solid cabinets and partially on slats that span the void between the drawers and the headboard.

The need for a box spring depends on the type of bed frame you have. My bed frame has the bars across from top to bottom to support the mattress so I don't use a box spring, however I do use a Mattress Support folding bed board to give my mattress extra support. With the mattress support boards it is a very comfortable mattress!!!
