The instructions say that a box spring is not needed. I put mine on, and the mattress (I have a pillow top) is definitely higher than the footboard. The round finial posts are a few inches below the mattress. You can still see the headboard, but only a foot or so. I personally think it looks fine, just depends on your own preference.

Yes--we do not use a box spring--the wooden slats are intentionally bowed, to give flexibility, but slightly flimsy (we needed to use small pieces of cardboard to keep them in place--was not hard to do) but we are happy with the looks and durability of the bed.

No, it will be way to high. It comes with bent wood slats sit on the metal edges and flatten when you add the mattress. A box spring would add at least 6-10 inches and the mattress would be higher than the sides.

Yes. We've been using it without a box spring for 6 months without issue. Love the 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.

Yes. It's just like the picture. If you didn't have a box spring the matress would sag into openings I would think.

You don't need a box spring. This is the main purpose of this frame. It's surface is well supported just to hold the mattress w/o a box spring. Also, floor to the top of the frame is 14 inches. For me it will be too high if you put both box spring and mattress and will look ugly. But if you really want to put a box spring, of course you can put it. Frame doesn't have raised edges, so you can put anything on it. Also as the frame doesn't have raised edges, mattress tends to move on it. This will be a real problem if you have a box spring on it as resistance will be even less.

yes Bonnie you can use your box spring with this mattress, but it will make your bed higher than a regular one ! I like mine that way , enjoy !

I think so. I have a set of bed frame to go with it. It will be a little low without a box springs or a frame. Hope it's helpful :)

My frame did not come with a box spring. It doesn't have much support, just enough to hold the mattress. In short yes.

I have a box spring which makes this bed very high to get into. Whatever you decide, it is beautiful and easy to put together.

Yes you will need a box spring it only comes with the slats to place the box spring and mattress on.

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.

The slats aren't too sturdy I would Prob put a box spring..it will also look better because without one, the mattress will only be like six inches off the floor

No the wooden slats that come from the bed are sufficient enough. In fact if u use a box spring then the mattress will be too high.
