Does this product have to go between a mattress and boxspring or can it directly be placed between the bed frame and mattress?

Ideally the rail should fasten with the belt around the boxspring with the mattress on top. I agree that it is not tall enough to go below a mattress and a boxspring. I have not tried to use this product without the boxspring. It seems plausible that it would function with a mattress on top of the bed frame. My primary concern would be the stability of the belt fastened around a bed frame. I'm afraid too much pressure would be placed upon the belt.

It is not tall enough to go below both a mattress and a boxspring. If you only have the mattress on top of the bed frame it can work. The rail normally fastens with a belt around the boxspring, but could be adapted to fasten to the bed frame.

My mom has a hospital bed... So there is no boxspring and it works on that. I'm not sure if that answer your questions but it's the best I can do.

Thanks for your interest in the bed set. This uses metal rails so it would need a box spring to sit in the frame and then the mattress on top. Sincerely, Russell West West Furnishings

It doesn't require a box spring. It makes the bed extremely high if you do. I don't remember there being a substantial gap between the headboard and bed. I would have noticed if there is, that type of thing bugs me.

There is really no reason to use a box spring at all. There are slats that go across the bed frame and that is all you need. If you did use a box spring, you would be rather high and your mattress might slide off trying to get in and out of bed.

The Beds Up Insert can sit on the slats which your box spring is sitting on. There needs to be an opening for the center legs to go to the floor for support. Feel free to send a picture of your bed for review. Cordially,jerry

Not at all. I put my mattress in a bedbug cover and laid down a skirt for the frame, popped the bed right on top. I even got under the frame with my wife laying on the bed to check if a box spring could prove beneficial and it would probably make the bed sag if you were to use one. The support of the frame is phenomenal, and no box spring would be better. Not to mention you'd need to jump to get into bed with one, the platform is pretty high, and if you use a deep mattress your already pretty high off the ground.

I am using a boxspring under the mattress. You do need something to support the mattress or it will sink right through. I have another bed (full size) where I have wooden boards between the rails to support the mattress and that works as well.

I don't think it would work with the mattress below the side boards. This item needs to be between the mattress and box spring.

I have just a mattress on the frame, with no box spring. The bed doesn't really need a box spring, but I was still fearful of sagging. So, I ordered two bed boards the place in between the mattress and frame and have had no problems.

It is designed to fit on the frame of a hospital style bed frame. The frame has springs so the mattress does not have box springs. If this is the design of your bed then it the rails clamp to the bed frame.

No. The mattress is plenty high enough and platform beds weren't meant to have both boxspring and mattress.

It is only the "top" mattress with a nice mattress protector no boxspring or frame included; memory foam needs a solid base so no boxsring, put plywood or solid slats on frame or between mattress and boxspring if using one

You need something because the mattress will sink between the slats. A box spring will set the mattress way to high for the bed design though. I just flattened the box after I unpacked the bed pieces, and laid it over the slats. Worked perfect!

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. 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

In my opinion no. It does not completely encase the mattress (think of it as like a little bit larger than a fitted sheet with the terry top) so the bottom of the mattress is still exposed to the boxspring.

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.
