No box spring needed. I bought one and the bed fit perfectly. the box spring might make the mattress to high

There is no box spring required. We bought a memory foam mattress and no box spring, it works great for our daughter.

Yes, this bed frame requires a box spring to be used comfortably, especially if you have a memory foam mattress.

You don't have to use a box spring, but the wood holding up the mattress is not sufficient enough in terms of strength to hold up the average mattress. You should place additional pieces of wood on the frame or get a flat piece of wood cut to the length and with of the are in which the bed will be placed. Put it over the wood to brace the mattress.

I don't use box springs- I have an IKEA bed utilizes slats, and this mattress sleeps fine on it. You can use box springs or not.

No box spring needed...we just put our son's memory foam mattress on the wooden slats. I would like to add that the bed frame sits about 12 inches off the floor so a box spring and mattress would make the bed very high.

This is like a memory foam mattress. I have it on a platform bed frame all by itself with no box spring.

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!

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

No, you do NOT need a box spring. I use a platform bed with what's called a Bunky Board. To this day I swear it's the most comfortable mattress I ever slept on

The mattress does not require a box spring, but I have a bed frame which is designed to work without a box spring. If the bed frame is designed to use a box spring, then you will need a box spring. This is because a box spring bed frame will not 1) have the 12 - 15 lateral support bars the mattress requires, and 2) mount the bottom of the foam mattress about 18 inches from the floor.

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.

You can use any kind of mattress. I use a box spring and then a memory foam because I wanted to raise the height and give my husband a firmer bed. I could easily use a regular mattress on the box spring. This truly is a fantastic bed and well worth the purchase. There are metal bars across the bottom (so you could just use a memory foam too). It should support any sort of mattress you would like.

you won't need the box spring but I did get a cut piece of plywood under the mattress to firm up the top and foot ends.I just love mine

You will need to support your mattress, with either box springs, or a box. A box looks like a box spring, but it is no more than a spacer / mattress support ...

I purchased a nice memory foam mattress with no box springs. It works just fine and is a very nice bed. It did come a little scuffed up from shipping but I didnt want the hassle of sending it back. It does come with support slats which are wood. They look flimsy, but surprisingly not at all.

For best results, a flat platform frame or foundation is needed. We have used box springs on a standard metal frame with memory foam and were happier once we switched to a platform type frame with the mattress directly on top of it. We have this mattress directly on a wooden bunk bed frame and it is great!
