can it be used on a traditional box spring?

We have it on a traditional box spring. Seems to work okay. Now that we have had it for months I can say it is compressed down and even harder than when it was new. I would not buy this again except for a child or the company bedroom that is rarely slept on. I'm looking for a new mattress. It was not costly so I'm not too upset. I say to myself, you get what you pay for.

Yes. I use this in place of the bedframe that originally came with the mattress and box spring. I also don't use the box spring any more. Works great

You can use your old box spring. We have one bed with the new box spring and one bed with the old. The new ones does work better though. It's made for these types of matterese.

No, not unless you put a piece of plywood on it first. Also, without a box spring your mattress would be really close to the floor.

I would think so...Its very comfortable and I do belive it will be fine on your box spring.

If you are putting it on a frame, then yes. Get a low profile box spring. If you are putting it on a bed with a flat base, then no.

I would yes you could just place on your old box springs. I really will say I am throughly impressed with this mattress. For being, in my mind, cheap... Worth every penny!

I am not using a box spring myself but you could use one. The bed would be on the high side if a box spring was used though.

I don't think so, but it would probably depend on the bed. If you would use a box spring with a store bought mattress, then I think yes. I used it on my daughters trundle bed, which does not require a box spring.

this system screws into your wood bed frame; so if you are still using the woodbed frame and the plastic boxes like a standard box spring then I think it could work;but if the plastic boxes have legs or goes below bed frame then this system will not work.

This would be a question for the manufacturer. I don't see why it would not work though because this "Beds Up" frame fits right into my metal frame and the box spring rests in the "Beds-Up" frame. So it should work for you.

Yes it does I have it on an old box spring on a bed frame, could use on a platform bed also

The box spring is very sturdy. I have it on a simple wood frame and it works great.

Well I threw it on top of my old box springs that we put some plywood down on. I don't see why you couldn't do that on the futon.

I suppose you could purchase a box spring and frame and then, place this on top if you want it to function more like a traditional bed. I don't think that is how it is meant to be used but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work.

I have it on a platform bed and it is great, so you will not need a box spring, as long as it have support (platform, slats or even a sheet of plywood if you are using a traditional bed frame).

Yes, but I think it would be a lot more secure on a regular size bed with box springs.
