Can this be used with a box spring? Are the wooden slats adequately sturdy?

We used the box spring without the wood slats . We are purity hard on the bed with the kids jumping up on it. The frame is really strong..

We have been using ours with a low profile box spring since april and so far there has been zero problems! The bed is holding up great and we couldn't be happier with it! One word of advice, if you want to see the headboard at all on this thing, don't use a standard box spring! We have a very short low profile box spring and we can barely see the headboard, and that was a big reason we liked this frame so much! Lol.

I honestly don't think a box spring is necessary, even though the slats are suprisingly sturdy and fit well and secure in the base of the bed. I actually bought this frame because I wanted a bed withouth a box spring. Hope that helps!

I wouldn't recommend doing that. It's a good bed but I just have a mattress on and I can't imagine the slats supporting a box spring and a mattress

It really isn't designed for use with a box spring. If you use one the mattress and headboard would be pretty much even with each other which pretty much defeats the point. But this is a nice bed for the price. It looks great and can be assembled. Fairly quickly.

I added my box spring for height, however the slats are close together I imagine that if the foam mattress is thick enough it would be fine.

You can use a regular box spring, or an Ikea bed with the slats will hold fine.

Hi, it is my opinion so far that this frame is much more sturdy than the old style that goes with a box spring. It does not move, and it has good stability features. You would have to ask the manufacturer for the specific number of pounds it will support though.

I have a sleigh bed also and was concerned that it would work within the headboard, footboard and thick side rails. Mine also has three wooden slats to support the box spring. It worked fine with mine because you adjust it as you put it together. It's very sturdy.

Yes. The slats are 5/8" thick x 3" wide plywood. The slats were connected at the factory with two nylon straps (stapled to each end of every slat) to maintain uniform 3" spacing between slats. Each slat was pre-drilled for screws which connect the slats to a pre-drilled frame inside the two side rails. This design was very easy to assemble, and the bed is incredibly sturdy. You do not need a box spring; just buy a good mattress.

Yes you will need a box spring it only comes with the slats to place the box spring and mattress on.

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

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

I use this bed with my box spring and mattress. I have had it for about a year and a half and I have no complaints. I didn't encounter trouble with the slats because I opted not to screw thru them. Those pieces are made for stability which is only needed when shifting the bed but its a king size monster and I have no intention breaking my back trying to move it.

As long as the mattress is not super thin it will be fine. It has slats for support so there is no need for box springs other than height.

it depends. if you have a regular spring mattress you're good to go. the slats are about as far apart as they are wide. i have a memory foam mattress and would have needed a box spring but opted instead to buy a large plywood slab the size of the bed.

It is a really tall bed, so no, I wouldn't use a box spring, or you'll have to literally climb into bed.. It's not necessary, either, as there are wood support slats to hold up the mattress.

The slats aren't too sturdy I would Prob put a box spring..it will also look better because without one, the mattress will only be like six inches off the floor

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

No need for a box spring, the slats are very sturdy. Besides, if you put a box spring on, I would think the mattress would tend to slide off when it is slept on.

If you don't use a box spring, you need to buy slats for the bed frame which is what I did
