Is this a platform bed or does it require box springs?

We put box springs then mattress on top. Dont know what size you may be looking at, but we got a king size and it came with 3 or 4 slats. The slats i believe are aspen as well and we have had 2 of them break. Pretty simple fixes but still broke none the less. I screwed 2x4s onto sides of slats to repair and prevent others from doomg the same. The slats prior to the 2x4 modifications would want to sag with weight on bed and then therefore pop out of their holes in the frame which be came irritating. Problem fixed now. Great looking rustic bed though. Hope helpful

You will need box springs. This is so much more beautiful than the pictures show. Well worth the money.

It requires box springs. I highly recommend you buy thin box springs unless you are really tall. Between the box springs and the mattress, it sits high....but, I LOVE this bed! Had a few issues with the slats falling out, so we had to use wood screws to secure them tighter, but holding up now.

You can use a platform (plywood sheets with 12" foam mattress) or a box spring with a spring mattress. I used a plywood platform and a 12" foam mattress. Excellent quality bed BTW.

A box spring is optional (not necessary). Bed comes with a slat support system. Thanks, ModHaus

It has slats on the bed frame and you only need a mattress and a mattress board. It does not require a box spring and would probably look disproportionate.

No, you do NOT need a box spring. I use a platform bed with what's called a Bunky Board. To this day I swear it's the most comfortable mattress I ever slept on

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.

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.

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

From everything I've read, I think a platform bed will be fine. As long as you have good stability underneath. I have just a regular box spring, and it works just fine.

It would require a box spring if you do not have a solid surface like a platform or captain bed.

Definitely does not need a box spring. In fact you should not use a box spring. The bed is very thick. Place it on a frame and it will end up higher than the old frame/box spring/mattress combo. And I like the higher profile.

We purchased ours and used a box spring with a mattress. Not sure if a platform bed would work.

The platform bed doesn't come with a mattress it is just the platform frame. If you want a mattress and box springs this isn't the way to go . Hioenthis helps.

No it is not on a platform. No it does not have box springs. You are only getting the memory foam mattress.

No it won't need a box spring. I wouldn't recommend this bed frame. It is what it is. Don't expect much for the price you pay
