Did you pair this with a box spring?

I didn't and it seems to be fine for my 3-year-old. She's been using it for a year with no complaints.

No, I do not have a box spring. My bed has storage drawers underneath it and we just placed ply wood on top of the slats and the mattress directly on the plywood.

I use it with a box spring, because I had one......if you put some plywood or wood paneling sheet and them thin foam would work without boxsprings.

I did not simply because with the box spring on top of the platform frame slats the bed was about 4 1/2 feet off the ground. so we just put it directly onto the slats... if you purchase just be careful during construction as some of the wood is kind of thin and soft so screws can shred or tear if you have to screw in/unscrew and screw again

I did not, but you definitely could. The added box spring would just make the bed very tall.

No! I have a really thick memory foam mattress on mine and it fits perfectly. No box spring needed!

I put it directly on the Sleep Master platform frame. No box spring required.

Yes you do need a box spring. Love the head board foot board. Very stationary

No I don't think so. We are using the box spring with it because it was more comfortable with our mattress, but the bed is pretty high now. We also got the headboard and we had to make a stand to raise the headboard because we are using the box spring.

We kept the box springs we had, put a piece of plywood on top of those, and then added the new mattress. Covered the plywood with a bedskirt to protect the mattress. Added sturdiness. Love our mattress by the way!

If you're referring to a bed frame to place this box spring on, then no. It's just the box spring.

I think you may have put it together wrong. The spring does not go in the tube, it is on the outside. I ran into this same problem then realized that I had things a little backward. The instructions leave something to be desired, but if you study the picture on the box, it will be clear.

No. Those are the most idiotic thing I have ever seen. Box Springs are supposed to go horizontal across the bed not vertical. I build in additional support and used Ikea slats.

We used a mattress and sheet of plywood underneath.....otherwise yes, you have to use box springs and mattress.

Yes. I tried having just the mattress and the bed was too hard. The box spring helped.

No I didn't get a box spring. I did purchase a frame and put a thick board on it to give the mattress support and it has been slept on by several people who say they love it. Be sure yu get the right size frame as the one I purchased was a little short and the mattress hangs over the end but with the board the same length as the mattress its ok.
