Do I need a box spring for this?

I would say it depends on the frame you buy. If you buy one that has spaces between metal bars yes. If it's a wooden flat top frame I would say no.

When I bought this mattress I also bought Sleep Master Platform Metal Bed Frame/Mattress Foundation, Queen. This provides a nice foundation for the mattress, the mattress and frame are very light and easy to move, and there is storage space underneath the frame. If you have a standard frame built to take a box spring then you made need a box spring or lay some plywood on the frame first. But I just went for the mattress/Sleep Master frame combo. For $400 what the heck. I'm very happy with it.

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.

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!!

No box spring is needed, but as stated in an earlier response, you will need a couple extra slats.

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

There is no bed frame with this headboard you must provide your own. Yes, you will need a box spring.

You do not need a box spring. It is extremely comfortable based on memory foam. You do need a bed frame for support. I do not have a box spring but do use a wire frame which I also ordered from Amazon. Enjoy!.

You certainly need some type of support structure. If you have a platform bed, then you do not need a box spring. If you only have a frame, you need a support structure, the most common being a box spring. I mean you could use a piece of plywood provided there was enough support. Personally, I bought a box spring and a frame.

No! I have a really thick memory foam mattress on mine and it fits perfectly. No box spring needed!

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.

You do not need a box spring. The wood slats are fine. I have a memory foam mattress on the slats.

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.

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

Yes you will need one, we just used our old box spring. The mattress is firm but is still holding up for the price not bad.

no, i really think you need the box springs for support. a great mattress, but it needs a foundation.

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

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

you won't need the box spring but I did get a cut piece of plywood under the mattress to firm up the top and foot ends.I just love mine
