I have a 16" thick mattress, don't know the box spring thickness, and it comes to the top of the footboard and looks ok. I would think you would want a box spring as this frame sits fairly low to the floor. Hope this helps.

NO, memory foam mattresses are designed specifically to not use a box spring. I own several memory foam mattresses and the manufacturers say if you use a box spring it will void your warranty as long term box spring use will damage the mattress. It will also cause your mattress to sink in places. They have metal platform bed frames that run about $60 for a twin that work wonderfully with memory foam mattresses. Use a platform frame of some sort for the best results with memory foam mattresses. Good luck!

U need the frame. Although the box spring & mattress are tall enough without it.

I'm using a memory foam mattress with this bed. It has very durable flat railed bottom. You don't need a box spring, but I opted for a 4" low profile box spring. With my 12" mattress I have about 6" of brass showing at my feet.

It fits a queen mattress perfectly, no box spring required. I suppose you could add a box spring but that would make it quite tall. The box spring is really unnecessary. I bought a memory foam queen mattress, and that has turned out to be a perfect match, just that and this frame is all you need. The frame is super sturdy. It's in 2 parts that hook together really easily.

Memory foam mattresses are meant to be placed on a level platform. However, as a clever bit of marketing, box springs are often sold with them. If you want, you may place this mattress on a box spring, but it is neither necessary, nor good for the life of the mattress.

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.

It's pretty heavy. Most memory foam mattresses are. I don't think you need a box spring but you do need something that won't buckle easily.

You will need a 10 inch mattress. I put a 6 and half mattress and it has a 4 inch or more gap.

You will need at minimum a box spring. Rails are designed to support box springs not the mattress itself. Your memory foam mattress will be destroyed on the rails without a boxspring to support it properly.

I have a memory foam mattress on the frame, which is 14 1/2" off the floor, making the total height 21" off the floor. It would be your own preference to use a box spring, however, it is not necessary. If you already have a box spring, try sleeping on the frame without it. Then make your decision. I get a great night's sleep without a box spring.

I have a 14" memory foam mattress. I just measured and the mattress sits 2" below the top of the bed rail. A 10" mattress should work well in my opinion.

The bed frame don't have the support to hold a box spring so the box spring will move a around on you when you lay it on the frame. So my opinion would be just to uses it with just a mattress. But I love the bed frame.

We put ours on our old box springs, but I'm going to put some plywood. I think it would be best.The memory foam mattress is very comfortable, but I think it would be better for the life of the mattress.
