Do I need a box spring with this platfporm bed?

We bought the queen size version to put a sleep number bed on. Their plastic support structure sags. This platform is tall enough and stiff enough for the sleep number setup, which has a plastic plate under the air mattresses. Worst case for a mattress would be to a 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick sheet of plywood if the mattress settles in between the slats - or because the slats are a little lower than the frame. I found it easy to assemble and is very stiff - no sag side to side with the queen size.

Not if you get a good thick mattress. The bed has an adjustment so you can lower the frame to allow a box spring, but it will be money wasted. We got a good thick queen Beauty Rest Mattress and it is great without the box spring.

No. I have a memory foam mattress sitting directly on the frame without any issues so far.

No. This bedframe does not require a box spring. I purchased one of these bed frames for a cabin. I was so pleased with it I purchased five more. I was concerned that it would not be very solid, but these bed frames are rock solid. In my opinion, they are a very good product at a very good price.

The slats are pretty close and I am using a memory foam on the Queen size with no problem

Hey I own this bed, and you do not need a box spring, it is made for use with just a memory foam mattress

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.

Correct, no box spring required. We've had this bed for years now and have had 3 different mattresses on it with no problems at all (some made for bunk beds and some not). Great bed!!

Don't use a box spring. You'd need a ladder to climb up onto this bed if you did ;)

It does not require the box spring. But if you do the bed will be very high

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!

No, you don't need a traditional box spring with this. Ours is on a wooden frame, and we have another one on a frame we purchased from Amazon that is metal, with wooden cross supports. Wasn't expensive and everyone who has used our guest room said they had a comfortable sleeping experience. Hope this helps.

No, it doesn't need a box spring. It comes with its own support system for the mattress.

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

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

I have a slatted bed frame, similar to an Ikea bed frame and no, you do not need a box spring. I agree with another reviewer that this mattress is very firm and I also have put a topper over it. I'm not a heavy person but when I sleep on my side, I can feel the slats on the bottom of the bed on my hips. I don't have this problem any more with the topper but it was an extra expense I wasn't expecting.

No box spring required. There are two legs that stick out like a fork. It just slides and tucks under the mattress.

This bed does NOT need a box spring. The slats are shaped in such a way that eliminates the need for one.

Yes, you need a foundation or box spring. It's not a real platform bed, though it looks like one. I had to return it. They have a similar looking one at Walmart.com that is an actual platform with slats.

You are correct. My daughter has this bed and it does not require a box spring. We love it!! Very easy to assemble.

You do not need a box spring. i simply went to Lowes and had them cut a few pieces of wood and used that instead. It worked well as a platform bed which was not too high for my 5 year old. Hope that helps.
