Would this fit in an existing bed frame? I have a wire frame with no slats and I also need a box spring, hope this can fix both issues.

I don't think this frame would work for what you are describing. You don't need a bed frame in addition to this item. The unit acts as frame and box spring. Just throw the mattress on the top.

Larrydude,This ACTS as a bed spring/box spring.As for if it can fit into your bed frame, I don't know. You'd have to compare dimensions.

Hmmmm - I'm going to say, "no." this is the issue: the frame itself is rather "wide". It looks like this frame (mine is a CALKING) is just a bit wider than my FORMER FRAME (which was wooden - and held the boxsping inside). I currently have a Sterns & Foster CALKING set on this frame - once I added the boxspring and mattress -It became HIGHER than a traditional bed set - but I LOVE the frame. Absolutley no "wobble/wiggle". Hope this helps.

Not sure, but you wouldn't need the frame or a box spring with this platform it makes it the perfect height without a box spring.

You only need a mattress for this. I threw out my boxspring. This holds my mattress well and gives me excellent support. I bought another.

If you don't use a box spring, you need to buy slats for the bed frame which is what I did

Rachel we still used the bed slats just as an extra form of protection/ to reinforce the box spring. I would GUESS you don't need the slats... I'm guessing you're saying the box spring fits perfectly in the rails, in which ours does, but i'm old school" we used the slats as well. IF someone heavy sits on the bed the slats take on the pressure of the extra weight. Hope this helps

it does not come with slats. You need a box spring with this particular bed frame. Hope this helps

Also let me add that I have a low profile box spring (4 inches) which makes the height of the bed just right. It's too low (in my opinion) without the box spring and too high with traditional box spring.

Yes. I use this in place of the bedframe that originally came with the mattress and box spring. I also don't use the box spring any more. Works great

I have a sleigh bed also and was concerned that it would work within the headboard, footboard and thick side rails. Mine also has three wooden slats to support the box spring. It worked fine with mine because you adjust it as you put it together. It's very sturdy.

The slats are close (2") from the TOP of the frame, so only a couple inches of any mattress will be within the frame. I have a thinner older mattress and I don't use a box spring because the head board seemed to short and there was too much mattress showing (for me). It looks now the way I think a platform bed should. PS: The bottom of the frame/rails is only 6" from the floor. I was happy about this because my (at the time) puppy could not get under the bed... But turns out her toys could AND SHE COULDN'T RETRIEVE THEM HERSELF, so I have to keep a hanger in my nightstand that I reach under the bed and slide her toys out from under (the things we do lol) The slats are close (2") from the TOP of the frame, so only a couple inches of any mattress will be within the frame.

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!

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

You do not need a separate box spring. Support slats are included. I have had an issue with the mounting system for the support slats in that some parts were not shipped and double the amount of a similar part was included. They are shipping the replacement parts ... hopefully they will arrive today! ... I am figuring that if the support system is too weak (I am a big guy) I will go get a slat support system from IKEA and I will still be money ahead on other comparable beds. The frame itself is very sturdy. The slats may be the weakest part of the system ... but I will know better after I have been able to sleep in the bed. *** UPDATE *** The parts arrived yesterday. I installed the slats. The bed (I have the full-size version) is sturdy and solid, with just enough "give" to make for a comfortable night's sleep! It was great being back in my own, "new" bed! I have a big frame and I felt very secure and well-supported by the frame and slats.

I did not simply because with the box spring on top of the platform frame slats the bed was about 4 1/2 feet off the ground. so we just put it directly onto the slats... if you purchase just be careful during construction as some of the wood is kind of thin and soft so screws can shred or tear if you have to screw in/unscrew and screw again

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

You need something because the mattress will sink between the slats. A box spring will set the mattress way to high for the bed design though. I just flattened the box after I unpacked the bed pieces, and laid it over the slats. Worked perfect!

I can only speak for the Queen-size frame. I say, Definitely Not. The frame is very strong and has plenty of support. All box springs already have plenty of cross slats. If you are putting the mattress directly onto the frame, you definitely need some more cross slats, or better yet, 3/4" plywood.

the top of this bed frame has slats on top as well, but I think that it would be fine. If you put this frame together correctly, you will love it. I had a boxspring that was really creaky and noisy--not any more. this frame is very sturdy and quiet...

You might need to add a few more slats but it will work. We have a twin bed that has slats about 4 inches apart and it works fine.
