I've moved and have a smaller bedroom. I didn't put up the frame and headboard to save space. I have the box spring and mattress on the floor. Do I have to toss the box spring to use this?

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

would say yes, toss the box spring (I didn't have one). I'm not sure if you can put it on top, but even if you did it would make your bed really, really high (the height of your mattress & box spring + about 15 inches)

Yes because it is very high with just a mattress on it. U wld have to jump if u had box spring on too lol

No you do not have to get rid of your box spring for this bed frame. You bed overall may be higher. But try it to determine your preference.

if you have both box spring and this mattress, of course toss the box spring!

You dont have to throw the box spring away if you like it that high but its meant to replace your box frame

Yes, just remember to put in the spacers so you can tuck in your blankets and sheets at the ends of the bed. I have bought two of these for my home and one for my granddaughter. Great for people who need extra storage. I feel no difference between my old box spring and this, and I have lots of storage under my beds now.

The beauty of this bed is that is does not need a box spring. It is a platform bed. I did not use a box spring but i would think that you could if you wanted to .

The bed frame don't have the support to hold a box spring so the box spring will move a around on you when you lay it on the frame. So my opinion would be just to uses it with just a mattress. But I love the bed frame.

The headboard is needed to build the bed frame. With this unit, we no longer needed a dresser or chest in the room. With mattress and no box spring, bed is vey high. I am 5'4" and need a step stool to clinch onto the bed.

No I hooked my onto the open metal bed frame so I did not need a box spring for my queen frame.the whole frame came boxed and you unfolded it. Then I got brackets that go with the frame. If you do have a regular frame just hook the head board to it. I bought the folding frame so I could store boxes under the frame. All came from Amazon.

You do not use a box spring with this bed. It would make the mattress too high. There are round metal rods that support the mattress. You need a mattress and that is it. I did place a thin board atop the metal rods to keep the shape of the mattress, but the board is not necessary.

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

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

You do not need a box spring. The floor of the bed is very stable with about 10 bars across.

It doesn't need a box spring, I bought a platform bed frame for mine and it's fine. If you put it on a box spring you're going to need a ladder to get into bed, depending on frame height. Technically it doesn't need anything under it if it's inside a bed frame.

The instructions say that a box spring is not necessary. I had both, and it does put the mattress higher than the foot board & you can only see about a foot of the head board, which I don't mind. But the metal slats are pretty close together & can easily hold just the mattress.

No....there isn't enough space. If you did it anyway I feel it would spoil the look your trying to achieve. I thought I would miss my box spring but not the case !!!

I use a mattress and box spring. Without both the gap between the headboard and mattresses might be to large.

This bed is really made as a platform. So technically you don't need the box spring. We just have the mattress. You "technically" could put the box spring but I think the bed will be way too high. You may need a step to get into the bed with both. Hope this helps.

I used a box spring for this. If you choose not to use a box spring, you would need to get something to support the mattress. Also, in my opinion, the headboard/footboard would look too high because the mattress would be so low. Hope this helps!

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.
