Can this platform hold a mattress and box spring? Is it strong enough?

We have 2 of these beds. We only use a mattress without a boxspring for our kids. These beds are well-made and strong. Our boys jump on them and no damage at all. They can def handle a boxspring.

Yes you need a box spring, I'm not sure about the weight capacity, that would also depend on your mattresses

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!

I bought the Sleep Master Platform Metal Bed Frame/Mattress Foundation, Queen. It is extremely sturdy. Height from floor is 26" (mattress on frame). No box spring. Make sure you air out the mattress for a day or two before use, it has a strong smell due to the way it is packaged (delivered rolled up)

Yes. And I definitely recommend both the box spring and mattress be used. The height would be odd. Also the base of the bed is not a platform. There are about 6 horizontal support boards.

I would recommend it. The bed is pretty high and the platform frame is pretty strong. My kids have jumped on it and it holds both of them.

Well, yes it would support the weight, but the sizes don't match and it would ruin your mattress.

We have used this system to support a full sized mattress and box spring that was solely resting on the bed frame. It has solved the sagging problem we had with the middle of the mattress and also lends stability. I cannot be specific with a weight limit but it has worked perfectly in solving our problem. Hope this helps.

No. You would need something with a solid platform in order to bypass a box spring. A bed 'frame' is not a platform.

Hi, I like a really high mattress do you think I can use a box spring and matress?Will it hold the excess weight of the box spring? Thank you for your help!

The platform is a series of slats over a solid area above the drawers on the sides - about 1/3 of the total mattress area on each side and slatted only over the center 1/3. It is quite solid. I have a 12 inch memory foam mattress and it supports it well.

Don't know what the weight limit is, but it is definitely sturdy enough to support a mattress and box spring.

It depends on whether you will be using it with a box spring on not. The bed is very firm so I would say you could go for a platform vs a box spring.

Tough to answer without seeing the edge, but if you have 2" or so it should work, The edge of the wooden box spring is quite strong. In fact I sit on the edge of my mattress each morning talking to my wife and I weigh about 180 lbs.

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.

All you need is a mattress. The platform is very well supported. As a matter of fact, a box spring would make the bed so high that you would need a ladder to get up to it.

Yes, it is sturdy but would need a box spring unless you are using with a bunk bed.
