does this mattress go on just the box spring or on top of the twin mattress?

would likw to know this also, I put it on top of my mattress, it makes the bed very high, but is extremely comfortable. I have no box spring, just the frame, as this is a craftmatic bed. Please let me know what you think as well.

It could go over a box spring since this is a mattress. I would think that I it went over a mattress it might be a little too soft.

We just put them on top of our girls' wooden slats on their twin sized beds, and they're comfy even when I sit on it to tell them goodnight! Just bought our 2nd one because it's an excellent mattress for a great price.

No its just a top mattress that is designed to be used on a platform purchased seperately with no box spring necessary. Can go directly on floor if need be.

You can place the mattress right on top of this, no additional box spring needed.

I own this. It only needs a mattress. In fact, the lip of the bed frame is only about two inches, so a mattress on top of a box spring would be difficult to keep steady.

I placed the box spring and mattress on the floor. The rails were between the box spring and mattress. Works just fine. Imagine doing the same without the box spring might work and may depend on your flooring and whether the mattress would slip, or not. These rails are awesome.

I have a full mattress on my bed, so that's the box spring and the mattress. However, it will allow for just a mattress alone. Beautiful bed and strong.

I put it directly on the Sleep Master platform frame. No box spring required.

The one that we purchased did not include a box spring. However it was worth it to us to save the $ and we just used our prior box spring. Works just fine. We love this mattress!! Sleep great on this mattress

You put it on the foam or gel mattress as shown in the picture. I wouldn't put it directly on a box spring or the frame because it is a balloon in essence and you would have puncture issues. Hope this helped

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.

This mattress comes rolled up in a large box, the box spring comes folded in half in a separate box. The only setting up is to open the box spring box, place it on the bed frame and unfold it. Then place the mattress on top of that and unroll it. It'a quite simple although I suggest two people as both items are quite heavy.

The instructions say that a box spring is not necessary. I had both, and it does put the mattress higher than the foot board & you can only see about a foot of the head board, which I don't mind. But the metal slats are pretty close together & can easily hold just the mattress.

It's basically like a top sheet with a ruffled edge. It goes in between the mattress and box springs. It's very easy to install and it looks great. It helps to have 2 people to put the mattress back in place and not need to slide it much.

It's just the mattress that sits on top of frame. I own this bed and it is comfortable. It's about 2 1/2 feet off the ground to the top of mattress.

You just have to pull them out of the boxes which will look too small. However the top mattress just unfolds and you simply have to unfold and zip the cloth on the box spring. It took me all of five minutes for both. Simply love it!!

Definitely does not need a box spring. In fact you should not use a box spring. The bed is very thick. Place it on a frame and it will end up higher than the old frame/box spring/mattress combo. And I like the higher profile.

There is no need for a box spring. This is a platform bed. We purchased the king size bed and have placed a pillow top mattress on the platform. The platform is very supportive. We are very happy with this product. Pictures provided by amazon describe product well.
