should i buy a box spring to go with this bed, or is it okay without?

You definitely do not need a box spring. I have a mattress like a temperpedic but an imitation and it is very comfortable without the box spring. Plus it would be way too high to get on your bed with a box spring...

I did not buy the box spring. I think my mattress was 12 inch high that fits right for the bed

It's okay without it...however I would go with a boxspring because it is rather short/ low to the ground.

You don't need a box spring. I bought a box spring before I got the bed. Now my mattress sits at what feels like 4 feet high. The bed comes with slats to make up for the box spring.

You don't need a box spring. The foam mattress is awesome & the frame has the wooden slats! Great bed!

I have a slatted bed frame, similar to an Ikea bed frame and no, you do not need a box spring. I agree with another reviewer that this mattress is very firm and I also have put a topper over it. I'm not a heavy person but when I sleep on my side, I can feel the slats on the bottom of the bed on my hips. I don't have this problem any more with the topper but it was an extra expense I wasn't expecting.

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

Correct, no box spring required. We've had this bed for years now and have had 3 different mattresses on it with no problems at all (some made for bunk beds and some not). Great bed!!

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

I am not using a box spring myself but you could use one. The bed would be on the high side if a box spring was used though.

Yes, it's fine without a box spring - we put plywood on the slats of our bed frame and the mattress on top of that.

We didn't buy box springs. You don't need them bc they have slats and box springs would make them too high. The mattresses were standard twin. I hope that helps. The bed is a good sturdy one that can fit easily if space is limited.

Depends on the bed frame. We use a frame with a very tight and very supportive base and a box spring was unnecessary. On my daughters old bed, the bedding was only supported via 3 skinny bars running across the bed frame. I would not use any mattress with that bed without a box spring.

Depends what kind of frame you have. If the frame has cross beams that support the mattress throughout then you don't need a box spring. If your frame supports the mattress only on the edges then you need a box spring.

No, it doesn't need a box spring. It comes with its own support system for the mattress.

Yes, I bought a platform bed to go with it. It worked out very good I'm glad I went with the platform bed, I have never had a platform bed before but I am glad I decided to use the platform instead of a box spring.

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

You could use a box spring, but it isn't necessary. This bed is a platform bed. There aren't "slats," but a solid piece of plywood.

The bed does not need a box spring unless you have a mattress that is ultra thin! I have a pillow top king size mattress from Ikea and my own make shift bed rail since the one that comes with it is too frail. The bed is a platform!

This bed is really made as a platform. So technically you don't need the box spring. We just have the mattress. You "technically" could put the box spring but I think the bed will be way too high. You may need a step to get into the bed with both. Hope this helps.

Platform bed should be fine without a box spring for support as long as it is constructed with thick enough wood. The mattress itself provides plenty enough comfort as is, although I did put a quilted cover on mine for a little bonus.
