Do I have to put it on top of a box spring?

Nope! Mine is on 1x4 wooden slats. It's quite a bit cheaper than a box spring. Also stronger. Hope that helps.

I did not simply because with the box spring on top of the platform frame slats the bed was about 4 1/2 feet off the ground. so we just put it directly onto the slats... if you purchase just be careful during construction as some of the wood is kind of thin and soft so screws can shred or tear if you have to screw in/unscrew and screw again

No, you don't have to but it is not needed. I have never used a box spring with mine.

I put it directly on the Sleep Master platform frame. No box spring required.

Depends on the type of bed frame you have. I have mine on top of a box spring.

You should be fine. We actually placed ours on a standard box spring as well. Simply the best money ever spent on a mattress! Enjoy

This is for the mattress only, Box spring not needed, I put mine on a plywood platform. Bob

I suppose you could, but the frame itself is already pretty hight off the ground, and as soon as I added the mattress, it was a about 12 inches off the ground; no need for a box spring.

would likw to know this also, I put it on top of my mattress, it makes the bed very high, but is extremely comfortable. I have no box spring, just the frame, as this is a craftmatic bed. Please let me know what you think as well.

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

You would not be able to use the box spring. The platform on the bed means that it is already high enough and strong enough to support the mattress. Adding a box spring would make the mattress way too high.

No, since this is just the box spring. This boxpring itself actually needs a frame (sold separately) to sit in if you don't want it just sitting on the ground.A standard metal bed frame will have places to mount the headboard.

Well I threw it on top of my old box springs that we put some plywood down on. I don't see why you couldn't do that on the futon.

I suppose you could but (a) it's going to be a high bed and (b) the foam mattress might slide atop the box spring base. The whole point of this mattress is that you don't need a box spring. I bought the bed "box" to go along with it and it's perfect!!

No, not unless you put a piece of plywood on it first. Also, without a box spring your mattress would be really close to the floor.

I don't see why you couldn't. I do not have mine on a box spring because my bed frame is already high, and this mattress makes the top of the bed high enough I almost have to jump into bed.
