Does this need a boxspring or platform, or is it rigid enough to lie directly on slats? Our trundle bed has transverse slats with maybe 6" gaps.

It would need some sort of support for the bottom. Ours is in a RV on plywood and works fine. I think if there were gaps under it the mattress would be damaged over time. You could probably use a very thin sheet of plywood over your slats to support it.. maybe even 1/4". Hope that helps ;)

the bed is like sleeping on a plank. If you like hard beds, this is perfect. If, however, you like a bed that is cozy and soft and conforms to you, this is definitely not your bed.

We layed the mattress on a platform bed with slats that are 3in apart however I would recommend having lowes cut a piece of plywood and lay that on top of the slats.

I think is should be fine on slats as it's pretty thick. I used the one I purchased in my motorhome, which essentially only has a plywood foundation for support and it sleeps fine.

We just use a bed frame but the frame has to have multiple slats across the center to hold it so it can't just be a standard bed frame. So ultimately to answer your question no box spring necessary if you have a bed frame with cross member support.

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 need only Platform frame. No need for boxspring unless you want to make it too high.

I put it directly on the Sleep Master platform frame. No box spring required.

No box spring is necessary if you have enough bed slates. My bed frame has about 20 wooden curved slats so I do not use a box spring. On a typical bed frame that only has 3 or 4 supports, you most definitely would need something. There is also the option of using a platform bed frame which is a solid board.

The trundle that I have it on has a spring base so I am not using a box spring with it. As I remember bunk beds usually have either slat supports or spring supports so I would say no a box spring shouldn't be needed

Platform bed should be fine without a box spring for support as long as it is constructed with thick enough wood. The mattress itself provides plenty enough comfort as is, although I did put a quilted cover on mine for a little bonus.

i too have a platform bed with slats and bought a box foundation,this system works great, no squeaking and your mattress is raised 8 inches i would recommend buying

This bed comes with slats but you will still need a box spring. It comes with 6 small slats.

It is firm enough that you shouldn't need a box spring given that your platform is one solid piece, as opposed to slats.

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.

It requires something. I currently have it on my old king box springs (which are close to 2 twin box springs, but are longer)I plan on making a new box spring, as currently the old box springs make the bed a bit higher than I like. I also have a Queen (not linen spa) on a platform bed which has wood slats of about 2 inch spacing.You could easily place this on plywood...16" is plenty support.

Yes, you will still need a boxspring, I use this myself, just letting you know it isn't easy to move the bed around, it doesn't have wheels

You have a 10-1/4" opening height under the bottom bed and you can assemble without the latters. Might be tight for a trundle.

Yes it can be used on a platform with slats. It's thick and doesn't sink nor sag. I have my Brentwood on a metal platform with no box spring

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)
