Anyone with a twin size? Do you need a box spring with this bed?

We have bought 3 of this frame, one full and 2 queen. I think you would need a box spring as on the beds we have bought there is only one cross support. No idea what a twin has. I can only tell you that we like the style and finish so much that when we have moved we have always replaced with exactly the same frame. Very nice finish and product.

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.

I have the headboard in king but it's just that, a headboard. You still need to have a metal frame to attach it to, so I would say yes you need a box spring for the frame.

Yes you do and I recommend this one I got off of Amazon: Night Therapy Platform Metal Bed Frame/Foundation Set(SmartBase + Metal Brackets for Headboard & Footboard + Bed Skirt - Queen) - No Box Spring needed . It is one amazing frame support for under the bed. I ordered that and put mattress that I also ordered from Amazon on it and it is great.

No, you do not need a box spring. I have my mattress on a plain plywood board, and it works great.

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

No, this bed doesn't need a box spring. The surface that the mattress rests on is solid wood (not slats or springs like some beds) so a box spring isn't necessary. You could probably use on if you wanted , but it's not needed.

You do need a box spring (lower or high profile). The mattress will need to be king size not Cali king

you won't need the box spring but I did get a cut piece of plywood under the mattress to firm up the top and foot ends.I just love mine

No. I originally purchased a regular sized box spring, which made the actual mattress/box spring so high that it took away much of the headboard. I am currently using a half-height box spring, though I don't believe the bed requires one.

I own this bed and I think you probably do. The frame is a Hollywood frame which would not be very comfortable without a box spring.

It's a twin bed... came in several boxes. (Mattress not included). I'm happy to answer additional questions if the need should arise.

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 have, it is standard length for a twin. We do not use box springs on ours since it was for a smaller child. It seems to be super sturdy.

No, it does not require a box spring. There really is no perfect mattress for a box spring, but the firmer the better in my opinion. Depends on your level of comfort.

Hey I own this bed, and you do not need a box spring, it is made for use with just a memory foam mattress

No you do not need a box spring. The bed has the European style boarding and gives lots of room to store under the bed to.

I only use a mattress with this bed. I think using a box spring also would make it feel too high. I think it is made to use with just a mattress and no box spring.
