Does this bed require a box spring

The bed only comes wih four narrow slats that fit in across the bed area. You need a box spring or a large piece of plywood to keep the bed from squeezing through the open space when you lay on it.

Yes, this bed frame requires a box spring to be used comfortably, especially if you have a memory foam mattress.

The bed does not need a box spring unless you have a mattress that is ultra thin! I have a pillow top king size mattress from Ikea and my own make shift bed rail since the one that comes with it is too frail. The bed is a platform!

There is no box spring required. We bought a memory foam mattress and no box spring, it works great for our daughter.

You first need a bed frame but yes you need a box spring, you only get the head and foot board of this bed and it comes in pieces that you have to assemble.

This bed does NOT need a box spring. The slats are shaped in such a way that eliminates the need for one.

You don't need a box spring. The foam mattress is awesome & the frame has the wooden slats! Great bed!

Box spring is definitely not needed. The bed is already tall enough as it is - we are joking about getting a small step ladder to get on it! :)

The beauty of this bed is that is does not need a box spring. It is a platform bed. I did not use a box spring but i would think that you could if you wanted to .

No it won't need a box spring. I wouldn't recommend this bed frame. It is what it is. Don't expect much for the price you pay

No it doesn't come with a mattress and you do not need a box spring. Without it, it does sit low to the ground.

Correct, no box spring required. We've had this bed for years now and have had 3 different mattresses on it with no problems at all (some made for bunk beds and some not). Great bed!!

No box spring is needed, but as stated in an earlier response, you will need a couple extra slats.
