Can this go on the king bedframe that we already own or do we need to purchase a special frame. We have a frame and box springs we could use with it.

Like you, we only wanted to replace the mattress not our box Springs & frame. I contacted the manufacturer about using their Mattresses on our old frame & box springs and we're told that we could. We've had this mattress for several months with no problems. So my "short" answer is yes you can.

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.

Yes. I have two twin size box springs purchased new and recently with my king mattress. Fits perfectly.

it just fits your king mattress, not box springs ... i used one to move last month.

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.

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!

My king bed had 2 box springs so I needed 2 covers. Note they are longer than normal due to being for a king

I have the headboard in king but it's just that, a headboard. You still need to have a metal frame to attach it to, so I would say yes you need a box spring for the frame.

Be sure to read the entire description. I purchased a headboard only. I think there is also a footboard, but it does not come with the bed frame. The purchaser would need to supply the bod frame; thus you would certainly need a box spring.

If you want to add a head board you will need special attachments to do so. Amazon sells these attachments. Otherwise, if you already have a complete bed frame this just slips inside of it. I hope this information was helpful to you.

The bed is the frame. If you are asking about a box spring, yes, this bed requires a box spring. We bought a low-profile box spring but you can easily use a regular one and it still won't cover up the headboard. There is only a 5 inch difference in a regular box spring and a low-profile.

U need a specific frame. I wish I would have known this before I purchased the bed.

Hi, if the platform bed has metal bars or wooden slats/boards that are very strong, then you do not need a box spring, just the mattress will seat there. I have mine on an LL Bean platform bed that also has a center support beam. The King size platform bed has two support beams. I've read that some people add a cut to size, plywood board on top of the slats for extra support because they think that the platform will sag over time, especially with the weight of two people. I hope this helps.

Yes, you can. You may eventually want to change it over to just the basic frame that's designed for it (because of height, the box springs wearing down, etc.), but it should be fine placed on the box springs.

I doubt it will be a problem. The only challenge we've had is the box spring moves around a little bit (so I wouldn't recommend running and jumping onto the bed - ease onto it at first to see how much the bed moves). Some people have put down sticky mats to keep it from shifting - I've heard other have gotten rid of their box springs and when the mattress itself is on the frame, it stays put. I have both a queen frame and a full size frame. On the queen, the mattress is directly on the frame and works perfectly. We kept the box spring on the full frame and it moves around a bit - but not enough to worry us. Hope that helps!

I says somewhere... I think on the instructions that come with it that it should not be used with a box spring. It should be used with a platform bed or slats like IKEA beds have.

Yes, if your existing bedframe is a regular bedframe and not anything "special made".
