Does it need a box frame? Or does it need a platform bed for it.

We used a box frame. Wishing we would have bought a low profile box because with the standard box & this mattress - makes a pretty tall bed. Love the mattress though!

just a follow-up to prior response: I researched this issue too before I bought, and the gist of it was NOT to do so. reasons: mattress breathability and no useful purpose served. thus, if you like a really high bed, ok. if not, don't. by the way, the mattress is pretty thick anyway, and my platform bed works just great w/o box.

Yes it needs some kind of solid platform or box springs. Either one will work just fine. We used a box spring and that has worked great.

I use a low 4" box frame. It makes it the perfect height and gives good support.

I purchased a queen size mattress and it is on a captain's bed with drawers beneath the platform, very solid. I'm not sure if you mean a box spring on a bed frame or just the mattress on a bed frame. We've never had a box spring, just the solid platform. If you mean just a bed frame, I would imagine it would need some additional support otherwise it might sag over time.

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.

I just use a wooden slatted platform bed and that is all that is required. DO NOT buy a box frame for reasons other than wanting to raise the bed higher off the ground. I would add that had I had it to do over again, I would have dropped from a 4 to a 1 or 2 since I like a very hard bed. a good product.

You will need a box spring, only three slats come with it. I recommend this bed for guest only and not regular family usage.

You don't need a box spring if you have a platform bed. If it's for a regular frame bed you need box spring.

This definitely needs a box spring. The slats are few and far-between. You absolutely need a box spring.

The bed comes with the frame as shown in the picture. I have box springs and a mattress on mine.If you have a very thick mattress, you may not need the box spring. I love this bed and use it in my guest house. It is sturdy and my guest say they love it.

We just use a bed frame but the frame has to have multiple slats across the center to hold it so it can't just be a standard bed frame. So ultimately to answer your question no box spring necessary if you have a bed frame with cross member support.

Yes a box spring is needed. The foundation are slats which would be placed too far apart for just a mattress. Also the bed would be super low with no box spring

No. This bedframe does not require a box spring. I purchased one of these bed frames for a cabin. I was so pleased with it I purchased five more. I was concerned that it would not be very solid, but these bed frames are rock solid. In my opinion, they are a very good product at a very good price.

yes, it is a platform style bed frame, so you can just put the mattress right on the frame. My daughter liked the bed higher though, so we put both the box and mattress on the frame.

You are correct. My daughter has this bed and it does not require a box spring. We love it!! Very easy to assemble.

It would depend on what type of bed or bed frame your useing. If you have a platform bed or platform bed frame which is what I used, you don't need a box frame. But if you have one of the frames that basically outlines the outer bottom edges of your mattress then you need a box frame. I hope this helps! Very comfy bed though. I couldn't be happier with it.

It has slats on the bed frame and you only need a mattress and a mattress board. It does not require a box spring and would probably look disproportionate.

Yes- though note that this mattress requires a platform bed frame, or a box spring.

Yes, you need a foundation or box spring. It's not a real platform bed, though it looks like one. I had to return it. They have a similar looking one at Walmart.com that is an actual platform with slats.

It doesn't need a box spring, I bought a platform bed frame for mine and it's fine. If you put it on a box spring you're going to need a ladder to get into bed, depending on frame height. Technically it doesn't need anything under it if it's inside a bed frame.

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).

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!
