Hi Patricia! We bought this for my daughter and she doesn't even have a head or footboard! We just used a regular bed frame to put it on and it worked great! she LOVES this bed!

No you don't need this exact headboard. We bought this mattress to change a convertible crib into a full size bed and this mattress worked great!

The box spring has an attachment at bottom (head side) for you to put a headboard on. Doesn't have to be the headboard in pic. Looks like you can attach any headboard! Good luck!

No. You will get a mattress and box spring only. You will need the metal frame if you don't have one. Your head and footboard will work as long as they will attach to your frame that the mattress and spring sit on.

There is no headboard and no legs on the one you get. You will still have to buy a bed frame. The frame I got was really just box springs without the upholstery on the box. It has worked out fine, but I wouldn't have ordered it if I had known.

There's nothing on the boxspring to attach to, so make sure whatever frame you get will work with your headboard and footboard.

The instructions say that a box spring is not necessary. I had both, and it does put the mattress higher than the foot board & you can only see about a foot of the head board, which I don't mind. But the metal slats are pretty close together & can easily hold just the mattress.

You do not need a box spring for this bed. I had a box spring and used it with the mattress on this bed, the result is that the combined height of the mattress and box spring reaches to practically the top of the foot frame.

The headboard is needed to build the bed frame. With this unit, we no longer needed a dresser or chest in the room. With mattress and no box spring, bed is vey high. I am 5'4" and need a step stool to clinch onto the bed.

No you do not have to get rid of your box spring for this bed frame. You bed overall may be higher. But try it to determine your preference.

I have the box spring on a full size bed frame that attaches to the headboard. The box spring is just that, a box spring you will probably want a bed frame. Love the bed!

Yes you do need a box spring. Love the head board foot board. Very stationary

I used a box spring for this. If you choose not to use a box spring, you would need to get something to support the mattress. Also, in my opinion, the headboard/footboard would look too high because the mattress would be so low. Hope this helps!

The bed is the frame. If you are asking about a box spring, yes, this bed requires a box spring. We bought a low-profile box spring but you can easily use a regular one and it still won't cover up the headboard. There is only a 5 inch difference in a regular box spring and a low-profile.

It only comes with the headboard, we attached a metal hollywood frame. Need your own box springs and mattress. Love ours!

I use a regular box spring and standard metal frame under it and have the headboard attached to the metal frame. The headboard looks great I just love it. It's slightly lighter in real life than the pictures. Amazon doesn't sell the complete bed ( the matching frame with would hide the box spring) but an easy solve was getting a tailored bed skirt. It really looks great. As far as the metal platform you're referring to I'd assume as long as there is somewhere on the bed to attach the headboard to it should work. But I think just a standard box spring frame would be all that's needed. I hope that was helpful.

Yes, you need a box spring. It only comes as headboard, footboard, and the frame. It's very nice. We're extremely happy with it.

When I ordered the headboard (not recently), I had the option of buying them separately, which was good for me because I didn't want both, so I believe the headboard and footboard come separately unless otherwise stated.

No, the headboard comes with the hardware to connect to your bed frame...It's a great head board....Nice quality...
