So with the slat kit, can you use just a queen sized memory foam mattress with no box spring?

Yeap you can. That is exactly what I am using. Memory foam mattress with NO box.

Yes I have a queen Tempurpedic on bottom without a box spring. It's heavy and it's good. Also get xl twin for top.

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

No, it does require box springs. There are only three slats that comes with it and your mattress will droop between the slats. Also, the mattress is approx the same height as the footboard/siderails so you would be sitting on the footboard/sideboard not the bed.

Our bed does not require a box spring. Our mattress fits directly on the slats of the bed. It works great!

No, you do NOT need a box spring. I use a platform bed with what's called a Bunky Board. To this day I swear it's the most comfortable mattress I ever slept on

You will need a box spring. The 4 or 5 thin slats are not enough to support a mattress. Otherwise a great bed. Easy to put together. Looks more expensive than it is.

I can only speak for the Queen-size frame. I say, Definitely Not. The frame is very strong and has plenty of support. All box springs already have plenty of cross slats. If you are putting the mattress directly onto the frame, you definitely need some more cross slats, or better yet, 3/4" plywood.

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

The platform bed works in place of your box springs and slats are not needed. If you currently have a bed frame, like a sleigh bed or something similar, and you need to be sure that this platform will fit inside the bed frame, you should measure very carefully. We did not have a bed frame so it was not an issue for us.

No need for a box spring, the slats are very sturdy. Besides, if you put a box spring on, I would think the mattress would tend to slide off when it is slept on.

The instructions say that a box spring is not necessary. I had both, and it does put the mattress higher than the foot board & you can only see about a foot of the head board, which I don't mind. But the metal slats are pretty close together & can easily hold just the mattress.

you don't need any slats. It is designed for a memory foam mattress to lay right over the top. It eliminates the box spring, I should have put this thing in years ago!

It only has slats. A memory foam would not be wise to use there. Use a thicker matress

NO, memory foam mattresses are designed specifically to not use a box spring. I own several memory foam mattresses and the manufacturers say if you use a box spring it will void your warranty as long term box spring use will damage the mattress. It will also cause your mattress to sink in places. They have metal platform bed frames that run about $60 for a twin that work wonderfully with memory foam mattresses. Use a platform frame of some sort for the best results with memory foam mattresses. Good luck!

Not if you get a good thick mattress. The bed has an adjustment so you can lower the frame to allow a box spring, but it will be money wasted. We got a good thick queen Beauty Rest Mattress and it is great without the box spring.

I have the Queen version and it's fine without a box spring if you have a decent mattress.It's very light and easy to set up and pretty comfortable in our guest room
