in the event i dont like the mattress, would a standard twin mattress sit on top just fine? would frame be strong enough?

yes, however I don't know if it would hold up under the thick/deep twin mattress......a regular twin, yes....

It should be just fine. We use Ikea frames with plywood as the base under the mattresses and love them. Your set up would basically be the same, just not elevated on a bed frame.

I suppose you could purchase a box spring and frame and then, place this on top if you want it to function more like a traditional bed. I don't think that is how it is meant to be used but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work.

It is a total steel construction so it would be sturdy enough. You would need a good mattress or you may feel the steel rods under you. The frame is not going to budge under an adult's weight.

I don't have a twin, I have a Queen but yes, you will need a box spring. Otherwise the mattress will sit much too low.

Thanks for your interest in the bed set. This uses metal rails so it would need a box spring to sit in the frame and then the mattress on top.Sincerely,Russell WestWest Furnishings

You could if you were so inclined. This isn't an inherently super sturdy design, but it'll support a box spring and mattress on top.

The mattress would definitely work for you, the frame though may not I'm about 200lbs and it creeks a little when I move. I definitely wouldn't jump on to the bed lol. I'm not thrilled with how the frame was made it doesn't have a whole lot of support bars like I thought it did. I will say that I've had 2 kids on the bed at one time with me and it hasn't broken, one was 150lbs and the other 100lbs. So it may be okay. You can find other frames on here for pretty cheap. Or you can check sleepys and when they have a sale buy a frame. The have really good deals. This mattress is wonderful though so its worth buying it for just this part.

It would work very well for that purpose. The standard twin mattress will fit. You may want to leave the wheels off so that it isn't free to roll.

I put a memory foam mattress directly on top and it was fine. I would suggest putting a flat sheet under the mattress and covering the metal part of the frame. it isn't that pretty looking

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.

yes, it should be fine. It has lots of slats for support. My daughter has a very soft mattress on it (no box) and it is completely ok.

No you would definitely want to use the mattress on it...not sure you would want to even try it without. It IS very comfortable with the mattress and you can use the mattress WITHOUT the frame....just not the other way around! Hope this helps!

I think you would need a king boxspring. Otherwise there would be not support in the middle to hold up the twin boxspring. Sincerely, Russell West Wrest Furnishings

No. A traditional twin mattress fits perfectly. Anything larger will not fit into the frame

The mattress is firm enough that if your bed has four or five slats to hold it up you should be OK. We still bought a box foundation instead of a box springs. You can try it and get a box springs if you find that it sags.

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
