Does this need a box spring?

Yes, I think it does because I used one. But if you have just a mattress , it probably would work well because of the strong cross bar. This is the best bed frame EVER ! You will not regret this purchase.

It doesnt HAVE to have one, but if you have a really soft mattress I would suggest it. Our mattress sometimes falls in a little bit where the bed touches the frame.

It would probably give more support and height, but it is really a strong frame and has the middle rail for extra support.

You do not use a box spring with this bed. It would make the mattress too high. There are round metal rods that support the mattress. You need a mattress and that is it. I did place a thin board atop the metal rods to keep the shape of the mattress, but the board is not necessary.

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

You do not need a box spring. The floor of the bed is very stable with about 10 bars across.

You don't need a box spring if you have a platform bed. If it's for a regular frame bed you need box spring.

A box spring isn't needed. I went w/o one for a bit but it was kinda low.. So I added one later.

This definitely needs a box spring. The slats are few and far-between. You absolutely need a box spring.

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

Yes, you need a box spring this is not a platform bed just a frame. This also sits very close to the floor but with the box spring our bed is a perfect height.

A box spring isn't necessary. The bed is designed to place the mattress directly on top of the frame.

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.

You could use a box spring, but it isn't necessary. This bed is a platform bed. There aren't "slats," but a solid piece of plywood.

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

Yes, it's fine without a box spring - we put plywood on the slats of our bed frame and the mattress on top of that.

No box spring needed. I had to throw mine away. But the extra storage was worth it.

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

I do use a box spring but one is probably not required as long as you have something flat to sit the mattress on.
