Do you need a box spring with this, or are the slats that come with ikea beds enough support?

We do not use a box spring. Ikea bed slats should suffice. Check the softness of this bed before purchasing which is on higher side

Don't know much about ikea beds, but you should not need box springs with this mattress. Mine is on a queen size metal frame and it's wonderful. You might just try it on the slats and go from there.

I would think your box springs would be fine. We used our existing box springs we had & they worked perfectly.

We put a sheet of plywood over our existing box springs and it's worked beautifully. You definitely need to support the mattress.

Your are going to need a box spring or at the very least a piece of plywood cut to size . If you have or get a box spring you will need at least 5 slats ,if you go with plywood you may need less.

The support slats come with it. You do not need nor would you want a box spring as it would make it so high as to cover the headboard. We picked up a mattress at Costco and it is perfect.

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

A box spring is optional (not necessary). Bed comes with a slat support system. Thanks, ModHaus

I don't use box springs- I have an IKEA bed utilizes slats, and this mattress sleeps fine on it. You can use box springs or not.

your slats will be fine. i have my mattress on a trundle, which is very similar. i also have another foam mattress on Ikea slats, so you're good. (y)

I do not believe this frame will offer the same support as the slats you have without a box spring.

No box spring needed...we just put our son's memory foam mattress on the wooden slats. I would like to add that the bed frame sits about 12 inches off the floor so a box spring and mattress would make the bed very high.

It does not have slats you will need a box spring. You cannot use the frame without a box spring

The slats aren't too sturdy I would Prob put a box spring..it will also look better because without one, the mattress will only be like six inches off the floor

This definitely needs a box spring. The slats are few and far-between. You absolutely need a box spring.

No box spring needed. But slats definitely needed. Make sure the gaps between slats are no more than 4", I would suggest.

Yes--we do not use a box spring--the wooden slats are intentionally bowed, to give flexibility, but slightly flimsy (we needed to use small pieces of cardboard to keep them in place--was not hard to do) but we are happy with the looks and durability of the bed.

The base has great, built in metal slats, you definitely don't need a box spring. This is a really terrific bed!

The slats included are curved (the ones that support bed) we don't have a box spring on ours but it is a thick matress with no problems. If yours is 8", that is really a thin bed, I would prob ably get a box

Yes you do and I recommend this one I got off of Amazon: Night Therapy Platform Metal Bed Frame/Foundation Set(SmartBase + Metal Brackets for Headboard & Footboard + Bed Skirt - Queen) - No Box Spring needed . It is one amazing frame support for under the bed. I ordered that and put mattress that I also ordered from Amazon on it and it is great.
