It requires something. I currently have it on my old king box springs (which are close to 2 twin box springs, but are longer) I plan on making a new box spring, as currently the old box springs make the bed a bit higher than I like. I also have a Queen (not linen spa) on a platform bed which has wood slats of about 2 inch spacing. You could easily place this on plywood...16" is plenty support.

I have it on plywood since it is a bunk bed and it works great so I would say no.

You can use a box spring if you want a higher bed or a platform with wooden slats or a bunkie board (usually used for bunk beds) for a lower profile. I purchased a wire grid bed frame threw a bed skirt on it and you'd never know!

Foam mattresses don't use box springs. You will need a frame or a support system.. We used a sheet of heavy plywood In our bed frame. It was cheap and works great. Hope this helps!

tag on mattress said designed to be used without box spring, i have mine sitting on a foundation, but in all honesty this bed would do fine sitting on the ground i would just have some kind of rug, cloth, or sheet between it and hardwood or normal carpet. Just remeber to rotate the bed every so often so it wears evently and doesn't develop any depressions

A good base maybe sinc it is very thick & heavy. By base, i mean it should be something sturdy enough to hold the weight of both the mattress and the person using it. CBag is right, platform frame or slats are good options.

No box spring needed. Use a reg twin mattress on both girls beds. Had them over a year now they are great! Very comphy

This mattress only require a flat and secure foundation. This includes a traditional box spring, a slatted bed frame, or even the floor-just as long as it is resting on a flat and secure area.

It was a mattress only on top of a hospital bedframe which had springs in the frame. I don't believe box springs would be necessary. It is a nice heavy foam....comfortable and does not squish down easily.

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

Either one., and it doesn't need a box spring under the mattress ( unless you want to use one), because of its "platform".

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.

Yes, you need a box spring with this! There are 4 slats that go across and that is not enough for the mattress.

No it doesn't come with a mattress and you do not need a box spring. Without it, it does sit low to the ground.

My mattress is by itself on a futon frame. Other reviewers have no box spring. Softness is fully adequate, but one is fully aware of the general firmness due to no box spring. No you do not need a box spring.Amazon offers several very inexpensive frames.

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.

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.

We used a bunk mattress which is thick and has a board on the bottom so we didn't use a box spring. I am not sure.

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

Our bed does not require a box spring. Our mattress fits directly on the slats of the bed. It works great!

It's a platform bed. You do not need a box spring, but you do need a mattress. This bed is very sturdy and well made.
