I understand that no box spring is necessary, but could I use a box spring with this frame? What would be the issue if I did?

In my opinion the bed would be too far off the ground. Also the fact that you don't need a box spring to begin with. That being said I don't see any downfall with it

You can use a box spring with the Sleep Master frame. However, since the top of the frame is 14 inches, it is already at the standard height of a frame and box spring, so putting a box spring on top would increase the height of your mattress by whatever the thickness of your box spring is. We tried it just to see how high it would be, and for us it was just too high.

I have a box spring on this frame and the only issue I have is that the box spring moves around easily if you try to move your mattress, etc. We are going to solve that by putting screws through the frame into the box spring.

Also let me add that I have a low profile box spring (4 inches) which makes the height of the bed just right. It's too low (in my opinion) without the box spring and too high with traditional box spring.

The frame comes with it so you don't need a box spring. Everything is included!

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.

Not the metal adjustable sqaure frames, but with any platorm frame it would work. no box spring needed. We have ours on the floor bc we have a very active todler and it works fine like that too!

No, this bed doesn't need a box spring. The surface that the mattress rests on is solid wood (not slats or springs like some beds) so a box spring isn't necessary. You could probably use on if you wanted , but it's not needed.

You first need a bed frame but yes you need a box spring, you only get the head and foot board of this bed and it comes in pieces that you have to assemble.

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

Purchased this bed frame for my son in Queen size. Yes, can be used without box spring.

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

If you are putting it on a frame, then yes. Get a low profile box spring. If you are putting it on a bed with a flat base, then no.

It doesn't need a box spring, I bought a platform bed frame for mine and it's fine. If you put it on a box spring you're going to need a ladder to get into bed, depending on frame height. Technically it doesn't need anything under it if it's inside a bed frame.

You certainly need some type of support structure. If you have a platform bed, then you do not need a box spring. If you only have a frame, you need a support structure, the most common being a box spring. I mean you could use a piece of plywood provided there was enough support. Personally, I bought a box spring and a frame.

You don't need a box spring. The foam mattress is awesome & the frame has the wooden slats! Great bed!

I suppose you could, but the frame itself is already pretty hight off the ground, and as soon as I added the mattress, it was a about 12 inches off the ground; no need for a box spring.

If you don't use a box spring, you need to buy slats for the bed frame which is what I did

You do not need a box spring. The wood slats are fine. I have a memory foam mattress on the slats.
