Can you use a boxspring with this bed?

Yes, box spring fits in base of frame. The top of box spring is only about an inch to 2 inches above the frame base.

Well my son has it and wanted a platform bed so he did not use a box spring because it was too high..it's has kinda fallen apart..just saying

You have to use a boxspring with this bed. However I hacked it by going to Home Depot and buying planks that I could lay down in order to turn it into a platform bed.

The wood supports they use to hold the mattress up are awful but you can use a piece of plywood with a few pieces of 2x4 to support both a box spring and mattress. If you aren't handy I wouldn't purchase this item.

I tried with out a box spring but it was sinking inward without it. After getting the box spring i haven't had any issues.

I agree about the wood that holds up mattress..terrible..other parts of the bed have come apart also

yes Bonnie you can use your box spring with this mattress, but it will make your bed higher than a regular one ! I like mine that way , enjoy !

The beauty of this bed is that is does not need a box spring. It is a platform bed. I did not use a box spring but i would think that you could if you wanted to .

Yes, unless you have a bed frame that does not require a foundation or a boxsprings. For example, if you have a daybed that springs are build into the frame you will not need boxsprings or the foundation.

Yes you can. The double size mattress I bought replaced my daughters old and sagging top mattress. We put it right on top of the box spring and she loves it!

The bed itself contains bowed bamboo slats, which serve as a box spring. I wouldn't recommend trying to use another box spring. The bed should be ready for a mattress when you receive it.

Yes i used a box spring with this bed. It sits a bit high and covers more headboard but i like it

I have a boxspring with it. because there are slats and not a platform, I do not think a mattress alone would work very well. Great bed - looks beautiful and appears way more expensive then it is. I highly recommend it.

It really isn't designed for use with a box spring. If you use one the mattress and headboard would be pretty much even with each other which pretty much defeats the point. But this is a nice bed for the price. It looks great and can be assembled. Fairly quickly.

You might be able to....I bought a box spring for my bed with a pillow top mattress and I didnt need the boxspring because it sat to high so I use the platform as the base...

You don't need a boxspring if you already have a king size bed just used the boxspring from your old bed

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use the box spring. I'm using two painted pallets for my xl twin bed. Enjoy your bed.

You should be okay but call the vendor to be sure. I also have mine on 1x4 pine slats with 2" or so spaces in between the boards. I am sure you don't need a box spring though. The bed is absolutely fantastic!

I guess you can but we do not. We put this on an old waterbed frame (like a platform). Just have the mattress on, no box spring.

As long as you have a foundation. This is not a platform bed, the slats are made to support a boxspring, not act as one.

no, i have a futon mattress on top of the slats. you cant use a box spring ,it would be taller than the headboard. plus with all that weight the slats will break

No it doesn't come with a boxspring. It's just a mattress. I've put mine on a slatted bedframe from Ikea(similar to a platform bed) and it seems to work just fine that way.
