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.

The cross member is not adequate to support a split box spring. If you look at the other comments after the original post I believe that it explains that my husband had to alter the Glideaway by adding steel cross members to the unit. It fits well and is a good design for single queen size box springs but does not satisfy a split box spring as it is. Hope this helps. If not, you can contact again for further clarification.

My frame did not come with a box spring. It doesn't have much support, just enough to hold the mattress. In short yes.

I have this frame...I use a boxspring with it, but I guess you could use only a mattress. I don't know, it might sag though. I really love this frame!

I guess, one could tie the two frames together somehow, but there is no dedicated way to turn two of these into a king size bed. If you have a hardwood floor, you need some means to keep the beds from skidding. We had to put rubber foam under the legs or the bed would slide around.

I have a king size platform bed and was able to incorporate the support system into the actual base for added support and still use the box spring with the mattress.

Purchased this bed frame for my son in Queen size. Yes, can be used without box spring.

Yes. the split King is a two piece bed frame. It appears to be twice the cost of a twin xl frame (one frame). Mine arrived quickly, and has been working flawlessly. I use the motors every night. (up for a while watching late night tv, then flat for sleep.

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.

The frame does come in two pieces, just like the twin box springs for Cal King. They snap together. Another customer advised me to put a piece of plywood over bed frame. We are going to do this. It is a really nice frame.

It comes with slats that replace a box spring. They are easy to install and on the king size mattress seem to give a lot of support to the bed. You could probably put plywood across on the lip of the frame but it really is not necessary.

I was told that you could when I bought the box spring from Sleep Country. I was going to buy a platform bed with slats but decided not to be because the bed was to low.

Yes, you will still need a boxspring, I use this myself, just letting you know it isn't easy to move the bed around, it doesn't have wheels

hHis bed frame can be used this way I suppose! It comes in a very flat box; my son put it together and he said it was relatively easy. I personally love how sturdy the frame is- and no box spring is necessary!!

Hello, I put mine into a king bed frame without the slats. Consider a regular king because I always fall into the crack of the split. I regret buying the split but they're great mattresses!

You need only Platform frame. No need for boxspring unless you want to make it too high.

The headboard does not come with a bed frame. I purchased the bed frame separately and yes you will need a box spring to support your mattress.
