Is it possible to use a split boxspring with this frame? Is there a support beam for the king size?

There is a center support beam. I am using a split boxspring, just measure and make sure it fits on the frame. There is not problem with my box springs, no wiggles, etc.

I have a king mattress and boxspring, the mattress is a combo gel & memory foam and works just fine with this frame.

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.

I used two separate twin bed frames but just used the SGT Knots on the mattresses not the box springs. It really works great when you add the pad that goes on top of the mattresses so you can't feel where they are joined together. It should work just the same with a king-size bed frame too.

We just use a bed frame but the frame has to have multiple slats across the center to hold it so it can't just be a standard bed frame. So ultimately to answer your question no box spring necessary if you have a bed frame with cross member support.

Good question. We have Craftmatic split king. Did you ever get an answer Sharon? Please let me know if you did...steve@classicinsight.com

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.

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.

I have a split king box spring on mine, so if a twin is the same size as one of the "split" sides, then yes :)

It's not necessary, but you could ... just make sure the box spring has a structure of supports that are pretty close together so you don't end up with sagging sections. Remember, the foam mattress doesn't have as strong a "frame" to keep it from drooping in between slats. It works best on a platform frame -- try searching Amazon.com for "platform bed frame" to see a good idea of the support it should have. I have a queen-size Sleep Master metal bed frame foundation that works great (I just bought 12 risers to raise it up another few inches). Hope that helps!

We used a boxspring. It had rails so if you only wanted to use a mattress I assume you could use a piece of plywood below it.

I would assume so, but of course a division with mattresses. I needed these to have twin sized beds for triplets. They had outgrown two mattresses pushed together. One was always sleeping over the division between the mattresses...not so comfortable? If you were meaning hooking the frames together to make one big frame for king sized, I don't know about that as the middle would have no supports? I really forget how they hooked together to remember if that would work at all. Kathy

The bed comes with supports that make it so that you don't have to use a box spring - and the box spring will change the look this bed is designed for. The supports are made oversized so they have a slight curve which will make your box springs somewhat bouncy. In short, don't plan on using box springs with this bed. On a further note, I thought the supports were too flimsy and replaced them with full plywood boards and the bed works great now.

I purchased the following support fairly inexpensively (wood frame, not box spring.): DynastyMattress 8-INCH Thick Wood Box. It works very well. You could cut yourself a sheet of plywood to fit, instead. You need something flat and supportive for the mattress. This is a VERY well made bed, especially for the price. I bought two. Had to go to the hardware store to replace one screw that had a thread problem. Easy.

My king mattress fits on ot okay. There is a couple inches of frame on each side and it may slide if leaned on. Otherwise its a really great frame. I bought it without knowing too much about it and im very pleased with it. Its nice to not have to need a boxspring too.

Yep. My king bed came with two twin box springs. It works perfect. This frame is very stable and I am very happy with it.

You have to use a boxspring with this bed. However I hacked it by going to Home Depot and buying planks that I could lay down in order to turn it into a platform bed.
