I want to use both a mattress and a box spring. Is that possible? I don't care if it makes the bed higher.

yes you can, lol, just not sure if you want to. We got a king sized pillow-top mattress. My husband is 6'5 and he has a hard time climbing into the bed. I have a 2-step stool (I'm 4'11) :) but yes it is sturdy enough for both the boxspring and mattress.

No. It's meant for a mattress so the headboard wouldn't fit a box spring plus there's no was you could get in and out. My husbands 6ft and he hops a little to get in now.

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.

You can try...I had to re-enforce the middle support. it was cheap and flimsy and honestly broke within days. I think it would look a little funky to have the box spring under the mattress on this bed. it's made to be used without a box spring.

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

I have a boxspring with it. because there are slats and not a platform, I do not think a mattress alone would work very well. Great bed - looks beautiful and appears way more expensive then it is. I highly recommend it.

Either. I used the box spring I had and it just raises the mattress up that much higher. But there are enough slats in the frame that you shouldn't need a box spring if you don't want to use one.

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.

You can use a platform (plywood sheets with 12" foam mattress) or a box spring with a spring mattress. I used a plywood platform and a 12" foam mattress. Excellent quality bed BTW.

I don't see why not. The bed might be a little more firmer since the box spring does add a small smidge of flex. The bed that I have is sitting on the box spring from my last bed simply because it would be too low without it.

There is really no reason to use a box spring at all. There are slats that go across the bed frame and that is all you need. If you did use a box spring, you would be rather high and your mattress might slide off trying to get in and out of bed.

You probably can, but the bed would be really, really high. This frame stands about 15 inches high fully assembled, and the height is not adjustable. Personally, with our 18-inch mattress, I wouldn't want it any higher. I honestly don't think it needs a box spring, though. It's really stable and firm.

You can add a box spring but you bed will be very tall. You will need a step stool. I only use a mattress.

The only drawback to using both the box spring and mattress is that the decorative head and footboards would not be seen. Other than that, they should fit. However, I am an average size adult and I sleep comfortably on this bed with only a mattress.

no, i have a futon mattress on top of the slats. you cant use a box spring ,it would be taller than the headboard. plus with all that weight the slats will break

Not sure we had a box spring we just put it on top of that. No problems. It is a good mattress.

You can use your old box spring. We have one bed with the new box spring and one bed with the old. The new ones does work better though. It's made for these types of matterese.

I don't see why you couldn't. I do not have mine on a box spring because my bed frame is already high, and this mattress makes the top of the bed high enough I almost have to jump into bed.
