I use a box spring and am not aware of any fire hazard. I've had no issues.

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!

I have three of these mattresses. Each are on slats. You can use box springs just fine. As to advice on which one, sorry, but I'm not a fan of box springs so I can't help there.

I use mine with a box spring. It is so comfortable, I just love it.Don't see how it can be any more a fire hazard than a regular mattress. Hope this helps!

I don't think so. You don't need box springs with high density foam. We use slats or a plywood platform and it's perfect.

It really doesn't need a box spring. It just needs a solid / firm base to rest on.

I says somewhere... I think on the instructions that come with it that it should not be used with a box spring. It should be used with a platform bed or slats like IKEA beds have.

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

I used the box spring already on my bed. I would not recommend using no box spring at all.

Yes, if you don't plan on using a box spring. Also if you use a spring mattress it may damage the springs over time due to repeated lifting.

I tried with out a box spring but it was sinking inward without it. After getting the box spring i haven't had any issues.

I would assume that you can though it is a platform bed so a box spring is unneeded. That said I can't imagine how using a box spring would do any damage though it may not look very good as your box spring would be exposed unless you have a giant fitted sheet or some type of skirt

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

If you have a platform style bed frame, you won't need box springs. If you want a taller sitting bed or are using a bed frame that is not a platform style, I would recommend having box springs! Hope this helps you out!

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

I can work with a foam mattress without a box spring. That is how I used it, however you have to be careful. Use it on a rug, otherwise it will move around and the supports will give way. Leading to the bed breaking.

I have it on a platform bed and it is great, so you will not need a box spring, as long as it have support (platform, slats or even a sheet of plywood if you are using a traditional bed frame).

For me, I use no box spring. My bed seems perfect without it. If you feel you need box springs you can always order it later.

We have a box spring under outa and it works great! I think it possibly voids the warranty if you do though.

You don't have to use a box spring, but the wood holding up the mattress is not sufficient enough in terms of strength to hold up the average mattress. You should place additional pieces of wood on the frame or get a flat piece of wood cut to the length and with of the are in which the bed will be placed. Put it over the wood to brace the mattress.
