can I put it on top of a box spring?

I did but laid down plywood on top. HD or Lowe's will cut it down to size for you for free if you buy 2 pieces.

Not sure we had a box spring we just put it on top of that. No problems. It is a good mattress.

I've had this wonderful mattress for about 6 months so far and I just placed it on top of my old box spring with no issues at all. I believe you can buy a special base for these mattresses but I couldn't afford it at the time and now don't see a need for it.

Yeah, it could, but the box spring would sit very high on the frame. I think the "floor of the frame is only about 3-4 inches below the side rail.

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

We used it on a platform style bed (waterbed frame) and did not use a box spring. I guess it would depend on the type of frame you are using.

Yes, you can. You may eventually want to change it over to just the basic frame that's designed for it (because of height, the box springs wearing down, etc.), but it should be fine placed on the box springs.

You wouldn't want to place a box spring on top of the frame. The frame has slats that connect from the middle board to the frame which strengthens the frame all over. Also, the slats are purposely bowed upward just a little to allow for flex. My mattress comes up out of the frame and it's 8". With a box spring it would be super high. I got the queen and got a memory foam mattress. A regular mattress would suffice as well. Hope this helps!

you can but recommended that you add a sheet of plywood between box spring and mattress to avoid/prevent sagging.

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

Only if the box springs are on legs. These are designed for the legs of a bed to be inserted in them to raise the level of the bed from the floor.

No. you could get some plywood and put that on top of the support system, but the spacing of the support system alone is too wide to support your mattress without a box spring or plywood under the mattress.

Hi Kerri, I would not suggest using a box spring with this bed. It would be too high. It's an awesome bed btw. Easy to assemble.

The frame is only a little over a foot high, so if you use a box spring it won't make the bed too tall. However, the bed might become really firm. (Just my guess.)

Yes it can be used on a foundation rather than a box spring. In fact I bought a foundation from amazon and it is tall enough to put storage tubs under. It is also quite comfortable. You won't be disappointed.

yes. In fact I would recommend putting in on a boxspring. We put my daughters on a piece of plywood but it's too low to the ground.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't ... I bought it because I have an older home and the stairway is impossible to get a box springs up....and if you would like the bed abit higher it would be a good and easy way to do it....it is only 21ins hight with a 8in foam mattress on it... so if you use a box springs it will raise it another several inches....
