Chandramohan , I built my own frame out of 2x6 . The box springs and mattress rest on top . I also screwed the frame ( head board, foot board and both side rails ) together because they kept coming apart . Now it is one solid frame. After a lot of doing this and doing that , it is finally the way I believe it should be. If I had to do this over again I would probably just buy a bed from some place like Rooms to Go and let the store employees deliver and put the whole thing together and leave all the work out of it for me.

No box spring noted BUT inspect the outside of box when delivered before delivery person leaves. IF damaged, make sure the delivery person fills out report so you can get replacement from company! We had some boxes damaged & mirror was scratched a little. It took awhile to get ahold of company & get replacements. SO would rate this it purchase 3 out of 5 stars!

I had to buy a bed frame as mine came with the headboard and footboard only. Just don't forget to get a frame that has connectors for the head and footboards...I didn't think about checking on that when I purchased the frame and ended up with the wrong kind.

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!

The headboard attaches to the bed frame, which is not supplied with the headboard. If you have one of those new taller bed frames, you wouldn't need a box spring, but if you have the older and more traditional short bed frames, then a box spring is required.

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.

It's a really good item to put up by yourself. Also, make sure you have the middle post on the cross bars for the bed. They should come with two little post. I love my bed and it's a good investment.

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 are several similar items without the headboard included. If you feel like you may want the headboard one day this product comes in several boxes and you can just not attach the headboard to the frame , and bang you have your storage bed without the headboard

No. The bed needs a box spring and matress set. I really like the bed. Iti's quiet and sturdy, besides being lovely to look at.

The bed frame don't have the support to hold a box spring so the box spring will move a around on you when you lay it on the frame. So my opinion would be just to uses it with just a mattress. But I love the bed frame.

I used the box spring already on my bed. I would not recommend using no box spring at all.

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 a box spring is not needed we purchased a nice mattress to go with it.... The bed is very tall and sturdy we love it!

I honestly don't think a box spring is necessary, even though the slats are suprisingly sturdy and fit well and secure in the base of the bed. I actually bought this frame because I wanted a bed withouth a box spring. Hope that helps!

yes, it comes with 2 rails, so no need to buy anything else. Regarding the box spring question, you do not have to have a box spring, BUT you do need a flat hard surface. I don't think the wood planks are enough. Maybe you could put a piece of wood in place of the planks in the area of the rails. I have not tried this, because I have a box spring, but from looking at how they work, it would be my opinion and I would try that. If it doesn't work, then you would have to return them and look for something more compatible with your bed.

On a platform bed you would be fine without a box spring, but on a regular bed you need a support system (either a box spring or a slat platform). I would suggest something thick enough that your mattress is slightly above your bed rails to avoid busted knuckles when making up the bed!

No. I originally purchased a regular sized box spring, which made the actual mattress/box spring so high that it took away much of the headboard. I am currently using a half-height box spring, though I don't believe the bed requires one.
