Can this mattress be used on a platform bed without a box spring?

I have the mattress on a platform with no box spring and it is perfect and very comfortable.

I bought at the same time the Best Price Mattress new innovated box spring platform, metal bed frame/ foundation, for 239$ and it is now 115.99 on amazon and it works great. I hope this answers your question.

We used it on a platform style bed (waterbed frame) and did not use a box spring. I guess it would depend on the type of frame you are using.

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.

Yes, I just have the mattress on the floor without any box spring and it is very comfortable. I imagine it might be a bit more comfy when placed on a box spring, however, you don't need one.

I should add that we are currently using it with a platform bed that does not have a box spring and it's fine.

Yes you can use a platform instead of a box spring but youmwill have to make the platform solid like with plywood

This bed is really made as a platform. So technically you don't need the box spring. We just have the mattress. You "technically" could put the box spring but I think the bed will be way too high. You may need a step to get into the bed with both. Hope this helps.

On a platform bed you would be fine without a box spring, but on a regular bed you need a support system (either a box spring or a slat platform). I would suggest something thick enough that your mattress is slightly above your bed rails to avoid busted knuckles when making up the bed!

No. This bed has regular side rails and 3 cross slats. It is not a platform bed.

No. you could get some plywood and put that on top of the support system, but the spacing of the support system alone is too wide to support your mattress without a box spring or plywood under the mattress.

You do not use a box spring with this bed. It would make the mattress too high. There are round metal rods that support the mattress. You need a mattress and that is it. I did place a thin board atop the metal rods to keep the shape of the mattress, but the board is not necessary.

The mattress itself is very flexible, but I would recommend a platform frame instead of a box spring.

Hey I own this bed, and you do not need a box spring, it is made for use with just a memory foam mattress

No its just a top mattress that is designed to be used on a platform purchased seperately with no box spring necessary. Can go directly on floor if need be.

Definitely. We originally placed the mattress on top of a platform but it was too low. This mattress works great with a box spring.

Definitely does not need a box spring. In fact you should not use a box spring. The bed is very thick. Place it on a frame and it will end up higher than the old frame/box spring/mattress combo. And I like the higher profile.

Yes- though note that this mattress requires a platform bed frame, or a box spring.
