your slats will be fine. i have my mattress on a trundle, which is very similar. i also have another foam mattress on Ikea slats, so you're good. (y)

You don't need/use a box spring with this bed. But yes, a regular mattress is all you need.

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.

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.

It's not necessary, but you could ... just make sure the box spring has a structure of supports that are pretty close together so you don't end up with sagging sections. Remember, the foam mattress doesn't have as strong a "frame" to keep it from drooping in between slats. It works best on a platform frame -- try searching Amazon.com for "platform bed frame" to see a good idea of the support it should have. I have a queen-size Sleep Master metal bed frame foundation that works great (I just bought 12 risers to raise it up another few inches). Hope that helps!

No, I do not have a box spring. My bed has storage drawers underneath it and we just placed ply wood on top of the slats and the mattress directly on the plywood.

The support slats come with it. You do not need nor would you want a box spring as it would make it so high as to cover the headboard. We picked up a mattress at Costco and it is perfect.

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

I had a platform base so I did not need a box spring. The mattress is very comfortable!

No box spring is needed, but as stated in an earlier response, you will need a couple extra slats.

If you don't use a box spring, you need to buy slats for the bed frame which is what I did

You do not need a box spring. The wood slats are fine. I have a memory foam mattress on the slats.

We used this mattress with an existing bed frame from Ikea and it holds it up well. No issue with the wood slatted bed frame; however if the slats are too far apart, it might be an issue.

There are flexible wooden slats that go across the frame and support the mattress. Before, I had a spring mattress directly on the frame and a few of the slats would slip off repeatedly. Once I bought a new mattress w/ a box spring, I had no problems. I don't think it's required, but I personally had less issues after I used one.

You do not need a separate box spring. Support slats are included. I have had an issue with the mounting system for the support slats in that some parts were not shipped and double the amount of a similar part was included. They are shipping the replacement parts ... hopefully they will arrive today! ... I am figuring that if the support system is too weak (I am a big guy) I will go get a slat support system from IKEA and I will still be money ahead on other comparable beds. The frame itself is very sturdy. The slats may be the weakest part of the system ... but I will know better after I have been able to sleep in the bed. *** UPDATE *** The parts arrived yesterday. I installed the slats. The bed (I have the full-size version) is sturdy and solid, with just enough "give" to make for a comfortable night's sleep! It was great being back in my own, "new" bed! I have a big frame and I felt very secure and well-supported by the frame and slats.

It doesn't need a box spring! We placed ours on the wood slats for my son's bunk bed and it works great..
