No, we bought the foam mattress that was recommended with the bed. We love it for our grandsons. The three extra drawers under the bed is wonderful.

No box spring needed. Use a reg twin mattress on both girls beds. Had them over a year now they are great! Very comphy

Yes it needs some kind of solid platform or box springs. Either one will work just fine. We used a box spring and that has worked great.

No, it does not require a box spring. There really is no perfect mattress for a box spring, but the firmer the better in my opinion. Depends on your level of comfort.

Yes, you need a box spring with this! There are 4 slats that go across and that is not enough for the mattress.

No, you do not need a box spring. I have my mattress on a plain plywood board, and it works great.

No, you don't have to but it is not needed. I have never used a box spring with mine.

Definitely does not need a box spring. In fact you should not use a box spring. The bed is very thick. Place it on a frame and it will end up higher than the old frame/box spring/mattress combo. And I like the higher profile.

I would say yes, it does required a box spring. The base is only 7inches off the floor and with a mattress 9 inches thick this probably would be too low. I have used a box spring and in total the top of the mattress is 25 inches off the floor

No box spring needed. But slats definitely needed. Make sure the gaps between slats are no more than 4", I would suggest.

There is a slatted base. The only reason you would need a box spring is if your mattress is really thin, just to keep it from being so low to the ground aesthetically, but not for functionality.

No box spring needed, that is the beauty of it. The slats on the frame support you and the mattress. Bought this for my college student who loves it!

Yes a box spring is needed. The foundation are slats which would be placed too far apart for just a mattress. Also the bed would be super low with no box spring

You do not HAvE to use a box spring. We like our bed to be high off the ground so we chose too. It works either way and looks great!

My frame did not come with a box spring. It doesn't have much support, just enough to hold the mattress. In short yes.

Yes, you'll need either a box spring or another foundation of some sort. A mattress would fall through without it.
