Do you need a box spring, or can you use just a mattress and bed slats?

You could do that... But it would be more comfortable with a box spring I think. It comes down to personal preference. Yes you could do that though.

We just use a bed frame but the frame has to have multiple slats across the center to hold it so it can't just be a standard bed frame. So ultimately to answer your question no box spring necessary if you have a bed frame with cross member support.

You could use a box spring, but it isn't necessary. This bed is a platform bed. There aren't "slats," but a solid piece of plywood.

You will need a box spring. The 4 or 5 thin slats are not enough to support a mattress. Otherwise a great bed. Easy to put together. Looks more expensive than it is.

No box spring needed. I bought one and the bed fit perfectly. the box spring might make the mattress to high

You first need a bed frame but yes you need a box spring, you only get the head and foot board of this bed and it comes in pieces that you have to assemble.

There is really no reason to use a box spring at all. There are slats that go across the bed frame and that is all you need. If you did use a box spring, you would be rather high and your mattress might slide off trying to get in and out of bed.

A box spring isn't necessary. The bed is designed to place the mattress directly on top of the frame.

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.

If you have a platform bed with adequate slats, you do not need anything else. If you have a normal bed frame, you definitely need a box spring.

This bed comes with slats but you will still need a box spring. It comes with 6 small slats.

Box spring is definitely not needed. The bed is already tall enough as it is - we are joking about getting a small step ladder to get on it! :)

Yes, you need a box spring. It only comes as headboard, footboard, and the frame. It's very nice. We're extremely happy with it.

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

The mattress does not require a box spring, but I have a bed frame which is designed to work without a box spring. If the bed frame is designed to use a box spring, then you will need a box spring. This is because a box spring bed frame will not 1) have the 12 - 15 lateral support bars the mattress requires, and 2) mount the bottom of the foam mattress about 18 inches from the floor.
