can I use a box spring if I want to raise the bed a little?

It would look a little weird. There's nothing holding a mattress in place and I think it would look weird to see both pieces covered in sheets. I think you should just opt for a thicker mattress like an 11 or 12 inch. I really recommend a memory foam mattress.

You could if you were so inclined. This isn't an inherently super sturdy design, but it'll support a box spring and mattress on top.

Also, please be aware - this piece requires A LOT of assembly. If you're by yourself, allow about 4 hours.

There is really no reason to use a box spring at all. There are slats that go across the bed frame and that is all you need. If you did use a box spring, you would be rather high and your mattress might slide off trying to get in and out of bed.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't ... I bought it because I have an older home and the stairway is impossible to get a box springs up....and if you would like the bed abit higher it would be a good and easy way to do it....it is only 21ins hight with a 8in foam mattress on it... so if you use a box springs it will raise it another several inches....

I think you can use your Box Spring. I orderd over Amazon higher railing which i Love because i can store boxes underneath

The bed would be really high with a box spring depending on your mattress height

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.

It's not necessary, but you could ... just make sure the box spring has a structure of supports that are pretty close together so you don't end up with sagging sections. Remember, the foam mattress doesn't have as strong a "frame" to keep it from drooping in between slats. It works best on a platform frame -- try searching Amazon.com for "platform bed frame" to see a good idea of the support it should have. I have a queen-size Sleep Master metal bed frame foundation that works great (I just bought 12 risers to raise it up another few inches). Hope that helps!

You can do that. But the box spring will make the bed higher. So if you didn't mind that then I say go for it.

No box spring needed. I bought one and the bed fit perfectly. the box spring might make the mattress to high

I highly recommend using a box spring. If you don't you will probably ruin your mattress.

The frame is only a little over a foot high, so if you use a box spring it won't make the bed too tall. However, the bed might become really firm. (Just my guess.)

I don't think it will be to low, if that is your preference. I got a higher box spring and it looks great, it just depends on how high you want it to come up the headboard.

You don't have to use a box spring. You can use a platform of some sort to support it, or you can buy a foundation for it as I did for another mattress. There's a few ways to set it up so that it's right for you.

Either. I used the box spring I had and it just raises the mattress up that much higher. But there are enough slats in the frame that you shouldn't need a box spring if you don't want to use one.

You may use a box spring, a wooden frame with slats no more than 4" apart, or a metal bed base.

No....there isn't enough space. If you did it anyway I feel it would spoil the look your trying to achieve. I thought I would miss my box spring but not the case !!!

I suppose you could, but the frame itself is already pretty hight off the ground, and as soon as I added the mattress, it was a about 12 inches off the ground; no need for a box spring.
