Yes you will need to purchase a box spring and mattress I got one from mattress .com they deliver .my daughter loves her bedroom set and bed.

No. It was just the mattress. I had to buy the box spring/foundation separately.

You will need a box spring. The 4 or 5 thin slats are not enough to support a mattress. Otherwise a great bed. Easy to put together. Looks more expensive than it is.

This mattress only require a flat and secure foundation. This includes a traditional box spring, a slatted bed frame, or even the floor-just as long as it is resting on a flat and secure area.

A foundation is necessary as a base in order to construct a square and level building. Anchoring and foundation materials are not included with your building. A concrete floor is recommended. Please see owner's manual for detailed information.

Headboard, footboard and frame. No mattress and nothing to put it on. You need something to put the mattress on; for most sizes, a box spring or slats will be sufficient. For King, you might need slats under the box spring (or just use the slats.)

No it is not like a foundation for the bed. Its good for extra support is you have a pedestal type bed frame.

U need a box spring or solid base. It's a great mattress but u still need support under it.

You can use the foam mattress. But if by "foundation" you mean a box spring, you do not need this because the bed acts as its own foundation and a rigid box spring would prevent the mattress from flexing and defeat the purpose of this bed's adjustability.

Yes, you can use a regular mattress as well. There are enough slots to support any mattress used. There are protectors on the bottom of the legs to protect the floor, but you will need to check those periodically for wear to ensure they are not worn through to the metal.

Box spring is not required. You can use a box spring if you feel that the mattress is too low from the ground.

Yes, you need a foundation or box spring. It's not a real platform bed, though it looks like one. I had to return it. They have a similar looking one at Walmart.com that is an actual platform with slats.

With foam beds you want to make sure you put it on a foundation. A foundation will look exactly like a box spring, but it will have no springs in it. A foundation will sit on your frame just like your current box spring does.

Just the mattress. I have no foundation on it and I haven't noticed any uncomfortableness at all (and I used a rather hard but still comfy matress before)

The mattress is firm enough that if your bed has four or five slats to hold it up you should be OK. We still bought a box foundation instead of a box springs. You can try it and get a box springs if you find that it sags.

I bought this foundation and am so happy with it. So easy. I also have a foam mattress that is 8 inches and have had no issues with it being supported.
