Does this come with a "boxspring" or does the frame do that job? I'm new to memory foam so thanks ahead of time.

No it doesn't come with a boxspring. It's just a mattress. I've put mine on a slatted bedframe from Ikea(similar to a platform bed) and it seems to work just fine that way.

This is the mattress only. For a memory foam mattress, it is very important that air can circulate beneath. A combination frame/boxspring or a traditional boxspring on top of a bedframe is needed to prevent mold/mildew from growing in the mattress. A solid surface (i.e. plywood) beneath memory foam does not allow the mattress to breathe; therefore is not a good idea.

It is only the "top" mattress with a nice mattress protector no boxspring or frame included; memory foam needs a solid base so no boxsring, put plywood or solid slats on frame or between mattress and boxspring if using one

My mom has a hospital bed... So there is no boxspring and it works on that. I'm not sure if that answer your questions but it's the best I can do.

This frame is designed to be used with a memory foam mattress. Use it as it comes from the box. If you use plywood or other flat surface on the frame, your mattress will slip and slide. The wire grid prevents mattress slide, keeps bedding securely tucked in and safely supports the mattress without damage. My husband and I are very happy with this frame. It will support 2400 pounds of weight. unpacks and is ready to use in about 5 minutes. All you need to do it pull it out of the box, unfold it, attach the 2 wing nuts to the head and foot ends of the center posts. Put on your mattress and bedding. The queen frame weights between 30 and 35 pounds. The delivery box was 12-15 inches deep. You can easily carry the entire boxed frame up the narrowest stairwells. The box was size of a twin mattress folded in half, end to end. We give this product 5 stars for strength, ease of set-up, no mattress slide.

I used my old base. It worked fine but I don't know if the memory foam would work. You might try it and if it doesn't box springs aren't too expensive.

Yes but it's pointless. This bed acts as a boxspring itself. This and foam bed is perfect combo.

Yes, this bed frame requires a box spring to be used comfortably, especially if you have a memory foam mattress.

My frame did not come with a box spring. It doesn't have much support, just enough to hold the mattress. In short yes.

I bought a rather thick mattress but no boxsprings because I wanted comfort. It wasn't the cheapest nor was it the most expensive, I guess middle of the road. I also put pillows on the backside.

I have a king mattress and boxspring, the mattress is a combo gel & memory foam and works just fine with this frame.

Separately - we already had a box spring. Our mattress is not firm at all, very comfortable if you prefer a soft, pillow top mattress. It comes unbelievably compressed and inflates quickly. We are very happy with this mattress.

In the box I received was a twin size mattress that was compressed foam rolled up like a jelly roll. Once I pulled off the compression tape and rolled it out the mattress expanded to a 7 inch depth within 24 hours. Mine did not come with any liners or pads, or frame. I hope this answers your question.

It's pretty heavy. Most memory foam mattresses are. I don't think you need a box spring but you do need something that won't buckle easily.

We actually have a memory foam mattress. I actually didn't like the mattress at all until we got this frame. It is such a sturdy frame, I actually wonder if it might make a world of difference for our other "regular" mattress. The quality of support makes me think that it could possibly help just about any mattress to feel better.Also, we do have a box spring and memory foam mattress. I must agree with the other person who said it might be too tall for most people. We are both 6-feet tall and even I have to climb into bed!

Nope. This acts as a boxspring. No boxspring needed! Love how sturdy it is!

Yes I got a memory foam mattress to use with this frame and it works quite well.

No, a frame and/or boxspring, if needed must be purchased separately. However, this is a great mattress at a very reasonable price. We just replaced our mattress as there was nothing wrong with our boxspring.

Yes it includesthe boxspring. It is not a very comfortable mattresses though. It does not feel like there are enoughh springs and the spring that are there are not very strong. When i sit on it the bed sinks all the way to the boxspring. And i am not a heavy person. Spend the extra money for a sealy or a serta. I wish i had.
