Does anyone that owns this bed use their box springs with it?

No. Those are the most idiotic thing I have ever seen. Box Springs are supposed to go horizontal across the bed not vertical. I build in additional support and used Ikea slats.

I use this bed with my box spring and mattress. I have had it for about a year and a half and I have no complaints. I didn't encounter trouble with the slats because I opted not to screw thru them. Those pieces are made for stability which is only needed when shifting the bed but its a king size monster and I have no intention breaking my back trying to move it.

I did not simply because with the box spring on top of the platform frame slats the bed was about 4 1/2 feet off the ground. so we just put it directly onto the slats... if you purchase just be careful during construction as some of the wood is kind of thin and soft so screws can shred or tear if you have to screw in/unscrew and screw again

We did for the first year and then got rid of it. If you're considering buying this bed I would not recommend it. It was extremely difficult to put together. Some of the "wood" (partical board) broke while putting it together. We've had it 3 years and it's deteriorating.

I don't know. We kept our box springs and put plywood between them and new mattress. Sorry

The bed comes with the frame as shown in the picture. I have box springs and a mattress on mine. If you have a very thick mattress, you may not need the box spring. I love this bed and use it in my guest house. It is sturdy and my guest say they love it.

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.

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!!!

No! I have a really thick memory foam mattress on mine and it fits perfectly. No box spring needed!

You don't use a box spring, you have to get a certain kind of bed frame instead. You can find them here on Amazon or at other major retailers. It seems odd, i know, but it actually works well because the bed will be the same height you are used to but you will end up with much more storage area underneath!

The bed comes with supports that make it so that you don't have to use a box spring - and the box spring will change the look this bed is designed for. The supports are made oversized so they have a slight curve which will make your box springs somewhat bouncy. In short, don't plan on using box springs with this bed. On a further note, I thought the supports were too flimsy and replaced them with full plywood boards and the bed works great now.

No, you don't have to but it is not needed. I have never used a box spring with mine.

I highly recommend using a box spring. If you don't you will probably ruin your mattress.

I have an off brand Tempurpedic (memory foam) mattress that I use with the box spring. I mainly use the box spring because I would have nowhere else to store the box spring and I like the added height to the bed.

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.

We do not use a box spring. My son has a trundle bed and neither mattress has one. My husband and I both have to take turns sleeping in there with my son right now and nobody has a complaint about the mattress. Very happy with purchase.

We are. We have a low profile box springs and the bed is very tall. I don't think it would work well with a regular height box springs unless you cut the legs and made them shorter. But then, you would loose your underbed storage, so I don't know why you wouldn't just buy a standard metal bed frame then.

No, this bed doesn't need a box spring. The surface that the mattress rests on is solid wood (not slats or springs like some beds) so a box spring isn't necessary. You could probably use on if you wanted , but it's not needed.

No. We purchased the box springs from a local furniture store - I think we paid $150-200 so it was still a great deal.
