Is this okay to use with just a mattress and sheets on it or does it need a headboard, footboard, and side things?

Yes, the frame, mattress and bedding are the only necessary items. The rest are just add-ons.

We used a boxspring. It had rails so if you only wanted to use a mattress I assume you could use a piece of plywood below it.

You can use bedding and mattress pads. They probably mean not to cover the underside of the mattress where the pad goes.

I had the matress, box springs and the standard metal frame that usually comes with any matress set. I didn't need anything extra. It has screws and nuts to attach it to the metal frame. So to answer your question no if you have a standard matress set you won't need anything extra. I'm very happy with my headboard

No, it needs both the headboard, bedframe and footboard. The footboard is part of the frame. My mother also has this bed, we will be purchasing another.

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.

This does not include the mattress. All you have to get to go with it is the mattress... No bed spring is needed.

It has a nice mattress. I used a pillow case instead of a sheet and it worked really well.

You need both. The mattress would sag without it. You could use a bunky board instead if you wanted the bed lower.

Mattress is NOT included. What is included: All parts to assemble 1 Twin XL (extra-long) bed with 3 drawers on one side. Because of the drawers, the head & foot of the bed are identical in height, just 3" above the frame. It's designed this way for versatility. For example, if a larger headboard means the drawers are on the bed's right, but the right side can only go against your wall, then the drawers are useless. Since neither end will rise above the mattress you provide, you choose which end serves as your headboard.

Just the mattress. You will not be able to use the bookcase headboard with both a box spring and a mattress.

I use a mattress and box spring. Without both the gap between the headboard and mattresses might be to large.

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.

No. The bed needs a box spring and matress set. I really like the bed. Iti's quiet and sturdy, besides being lovely to look at.

You can use twin sheets but they will be a little loose. But didn't have any issues with it.

You don't need anything. The board is wide enough to fit right on the side rails. If you want extra support, since you only have side rails, add 3 or 4 wooden planks eventually spaced down first, then the board. That's what I had to do on one bed and it works great. Hope this answers your question and concern.

Yes. It's headboard, footboard, rails and center support. We were concerned about the center support as it bolts together (probably to make shipping easier) so we put 2 wood blocks under it where it's bolted, but after using this for a while I don't think it was necessary. My son has jumped on it and the bed frame doesn't shake as much as I was afraid it would. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this again.
