Is this a platform bed....Do I need a boxspring?

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.

I believe it is considered a platform bed, but you do not need a box spring. I don't use a box spring and it's perfect. You could use a box spring, but the bed would be kind of high then. I LOVE this bed frame and everyone who comes over and sees it wants to get their own! The only thing I'm not sure about, it's just been me sleeping in the bed. I am a little nervous about if it's strong enough to hold two ppl, but I have read the other reviews that say it's fine for two ppl!

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

You'll need a box spring, for sure. It is literally a piece of foam. A very COMFORTABLE piece of foam, and I love it, but it needs a box spring or a wooden platform.

The platform bed works in place of your box springs and slats are not needed. If you currently have a bed frame, like a sleigh bed or something similar, and you need to be sure that this platform will fit inside the bed frame, you should measure very carefully. We did not have a bed frame so it was not an issue for us.

No box spring is needed, but as stated in an earlier response, you will need a couple extra slats.

A boxspring isn't necessary, the mattress sits on a platform. The picture shows bed without a boxspring

No it is not on a platform. No it does not have box springs. You are only getting the memory foam mattress.

A box spring or a platform bed is necessary. I bought a platform bed similar to the one in the main picture

Yes, it needs a box spring. There aren't enough slats on the bottom to support just a mattress.

Yes, you will still need a boxspring, I use this myself, just letting you know it isn't easy to move the bed around, it doesn't have wheels

Hi, if the platform bed has metal bars or wooden slats/boards that are very strong, then you do not need a box spring, just the mattress will seat there. I have mine on an LL Bean platform bed that also has a center support beam. The King size platform bed has two support beams. I've read that some people add a cut to size, plywood board on top of the slats for extra support because they think that the platform will sag over time, especially with the weight of two people. I hope this helps.

All you need is a mattress. The platform is very well supported. As a matter of fact, a box spring would make the bed so high that you would need a ladder to get up to it.

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

Yes, you need a box spring. It only comes as headboard, footboard, and the frame. It's very nice. We're extremely happy with 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.

Yes you do and I recommend this one I got off of Amazon: Night Therapy Platform Metal Bed Frame/Foundation Set(SmartBase + Metal Brackets for Headboard & Footboard + Bed Skirt - Queen) - No Box Spring needed . It is one amazing frame support for under the bed. I ordered that and put mattress that I also ordered from Amazon on it and it is great.

It depends on whether you will be using it with a box spring on not. The bed is very firm so I would say you could go for a platform vs a box spring.
