Can a box spring be used with this bed?

Yes it can. I bought the bed a yea ago and love it! I use a box spring and a mattress (of course) and they work very well.

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).

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 do not need a box spring for this bed. I had a box spring and used it with the mattress on this bed, the result is that the combined height of the mattress and box spring reaches to practically the top of the foot frame.

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

I think you probably can. The mattress will be higher. We currently use it without a box spring because it is the bottom bunk.

Yes, I think you would have to use a box spring unless you add extra slats for support. If you used just a mattress you would need a really thick mattress to reach the base of the headboard or else there would be a gap. I currently have mine with a box spring and mattress and it works well.

you can but i wouldnt suggest it, you will hear the wood hitting the wood and its going to be to high. not good. Box springs in the cost of mattress sets are very inexpensive, maybe see if they would let you take the boxspring back possible or try it and see what you think. Those are my thoughts. Hope all this helps. If noe of this works i have hundreds of others beds for sale, hows that on our full site. 6102773747 Good luck. Linda

Yes, you need a box spring with this! There are 4 slats that go across and that is not enough for the mattress.

I would not recommend a box spring for this platform bed set. I have been using this set with a mattress only (Signature Sleep Contour 8-Inch Mattress, Queen ) and it works beautifully!

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.

You don't have to use a box spring. You can use a platform of some sort to support it, or you can buy a foundation for it as I did for another mattress. There's a few ways to set it up so that it's right for you.

I suppose you could purchase a box spring and frame and then, place this on top if you want it to function more like a traditional bed. I don't think that is how it is meant to be used but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work.

No, we just put the mattress on it. If you put a box spring, the mattress will be too high. The picture is what our little girl's bed looks like with just the mattress.

Yes, its the frame as well as bars that support the mattress. You would not use a box spring with this bed frame, just a mattress.

Personally, I wouldn't. The bed became loose after a few years (the bed was used by a 100lb girl), we fixed that, but I think a box spring would add unnecessary weight. Also, like someone else stated, with a box spring, the bed would be very tall.
