Do I need a box spring or can I place the mattress directly on top of this slat platform frame?

You can place the mattress right on top. Mine is still holding steady!!! still love it

You can place a mattress directly on top of the frame. You can even use a bedskirt in between the frame and the mattress for a nicer look.

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

You don't need a box spring necessarily but it would provide additional support. This has been a sufficient frame but I would not purchase it again - the middle leg broke within the first week. It's not terribly made, but it's not well made, either.

No box spring needed. I bought one and the bed fit perfectly. the box spring might make the mattress to high

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

Yes, you need a box spring this is not a platform bed just a frame. This also sits very close to the floor but with the box spring our bed is a perfect height.

Nope. The wooden slats are only a few inches apart so a box spring isn't necessary

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.

You will need a box spring, slats or even a plywood (or similar) base to set the mattress on. The rails themselves are good quality.

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!

Yes, you need a foundation or box spring. It's not a real platform bed, though it looks like one. I had to return it. They have a similar looking one at Walmart.com that is an actual platform with slats.

Either. I used the box spring I had and it just raises the mattress up that much higher. But there are enough slats in the frame that you shouldn't need a box spring if you don't want to use one.

No box spring needed...we just put our son's memory foam mattress on the wooden slats. I would like to add that the bed frame sits about 12 inches off the floor so a box spring and mattress would make the bed very high.

For best results, a flat platform frame or foundation is needed. We have used box springs on a standard metal frame with memory foam and were happier once we switched to a platform type frame with the mattress directly on top of it. We have this mattress directly on a wooden bunk bed frame and it is great!

You don't have to use a box spring. You can use a platform of some sort to support it, or you can buy a foundation for it as I did for another mattress. There's a few ways to set it up so that it's right for you.

You will either need a platform frame or a box spring. The mattress may be firm, but it needs a solid base otherwise the weight of a body will push it right through an open frame. It's firm, but not rigid.

No, I do not have a box spring. My bed has storage drawers underneath it and we just placed ply wood on top of the slats and the mattress directly on the plywood.

I suppose you could put a boxspring on top of it, as long as the boxspring and the mattress did not slide around each other. The way it's designed though, you don't need a boxspring. The boards/slats have some flexibility. Mine is very comfortable with just a mattress.

This is for the mattress only, Box spring not needed, I put mine on a plywood platform. Bob
