could this work as a box spring? could i put my futon mattress on top of it?

No, the sides wouldn't hold up. You can get a platform for pretty cheap. :) have a great day!

I guess that you could but you would probably change your mind and use it as your futon mattress instead, it is much more comfortable than your average futon.

I don't see why not. The bed might be a little more firmer since the box spring does add a small smidge of flex. The bed that I have is sitting on the box spring from my last bed simply because it would be too low without it.

Yes you may, but you don't have to place a box spring as this product can replace old box spring and bed frame.

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

Yes you can put a box spring but i'm just using it without a box spring and it look good so I would say that it would look good with a box spring so give it a try.I like my metal bed frame.

I suppose you could purchase a box spring and frame and then, place this on top if you want it to function more like a traditional bed. I don't think that is how it is meant to be used but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work.

I wouldn't recommend doing that. It's a good bed but I just have a mattress on and I can't imagine the slats supporting a box spring and a mattress

I would assume that you can though it is a platform bed so a box spring is unneeded. That said I can't imagine how using a box spring would do any damage though it may not look very good as your box spring would be exposed unless you have a giant fitted sheet or some type of skirt

It would probably depend on the futon frame. Is it the same size so that the mattress has support on all sides? You don't want it hanging over the edge. Does your futon have wood slats or metal? Mine is on a platform metal frame with wood slats. I read somewhere that the wood slats should be a certain distance apart. If the futon fits the bill then go for it. You can't go wrong with the mattress, it is great!!

I'm not sure whether you can or not. I have mine on a box spring. My advice to you would be to call the company. They are very helpful.

You could still easily sit a box spring on this, although, depending on the thickness of your mattress and box spring, your bed might be too high off the ground.

I have my box spring and mattress on top. It's very sturdy but you'll be high up

A spring mattress would work with the futon frame only as a bed. As a lounger, the mattress would have to have some flexibility to mold to the frame.

Wow, that sounds like a nice idea, but I'm really not sure. The mattress fits exactly on top of this platform so the platform might slip down inside the frame like a box spring would, but you might have to remove any hardware on the inside of the wooden frame that is built to hold the box spring in place because this hardware will interfere with the metal platform as it has legs to rest on the floor. I would check on the return policy and give it a try because this platform is a brilliant alternative to a box spring. It was easy to set up and way comfortable.

Don't use a box spring. You'd need a ladder to climb up onto this bed if you did ;)

Yes it can. I bought the bed a yea ago and love it! I use a box spring and a mattress (of course) and they work very well.

Hi, I like a really high mattress do you think I can use a box spring and matress?Will it hold the excess weight of the box spring? Thank you for your help!
