Has anyone tried a boxspring and mattress combo on the bottom/full bed?

Yes and there was not enough clearance for the bottom bunk. Both upper and bottom bunks are made for no boxspring. Good luck!

Never tried it, but based on the measurements, I wouldn't consider it. I got 3 growing toddlers and they barely have space to sit with a single mattress. But if you find one that is slim enough it could work.

We have just a mattress but I think if there were a boxspring the head room would be too small to be comfortable. Right now my children and I can sit up on the bottom bunk (I am 5'2"). My husband, who is taller cannot sit up.

Yes! I did initially. However, if you put both the mattress & box spring there is just no room on the bottom bunk to sleep. So I took it off. I have had this bunk bed now for 3 months & I am SO HAPPY I bought it. Excellent quality, very strong & the color is just beautiful. My kids adore it too. It took awhile with shipping but it was WELL WORTH the wait! I hope this helps you!

I highly recommend using a box spring. If you don't you will probably ruin your mattress.

Yes you can. The double size mattress I bought replaced my daughters old and sagging top mattress. We put it right on top of the box spring and she loves it!

No. I used a regular full sized mattress on the bottom and a twin on the top.

Yes although I would get a half height box spring as the full height box spring makes for a bed that is very high off the ground.

This doesn't come with a mattress/boxspring, the only thing you are ordering is the platform (you shouldn't buy it if you don't want the platform!). Sorry if I misunderstood you.

Elizabeth, I have a wooden bed..we took the wood slats out and replaced them with 4 sets of these metal slats. We have a lot more support and our old mattress, feels brand new again. Instead of buying another expensive mattress..we just replaced the slats and added extra. We cannot believe the comfort in our mattress..and now we are getting a better night sleep. Yes..we have a boxspring, with a piece of plywood over the boxspring..this helps to save the life of our set..and it is perfect..we won't be mattress shopping for several more years.!!

We bought Sleep Master full mattress and box spring set. It works with a metal bed frame. We live in an old colonial with very narrow stairs to the bedrooms. We bought for our daughter's room and it was boxed, light and small enough for my daughter and I to carry it upstairs. It all unfolds and makes for a comfortable full-size bed.

We are using a memory foam mattress, but any will work without a boxspring.

No it doesn't come with a boxspring. It's just a mattress. I've put mine on a slatted bedframe from Ikea(similar to a platform bed) and it seems to work just fine that way.

We have the south shore mate bed also, so for us with the box spring the mattress covered the bottom shelves. But the way the bed is made, you don't need to use the box springs, the mattress can sit on the frame alone, and then its perfect.

I use it with a box spring, because I had one......if you put some plywood or wood paneling sheet and them thin foam would work without boxsprings.

I tried it with my queen regular height split box spring, i found it was to tall off the ground and it covers to much of the headboard. A low profile headboard would be better or a mattress atleast 10 inches high/pillow type works the best:-) just bought a new 14 pillowtop today. Looks great

Ideally the rail should fasten with the belt around the boxspring with the mattress on top. I agree that it is not tall enough to go below a mattress and a boxspring. I have not tried to use this product without the boxspring. It seems plausible that it would function with a mattress on top of the bed frame. My primary concern would be the stability of the belt fastened around a bed frame. I'm afraid too much pressure would be placed upon the belt.

Yes. There are mattress frames that remove the need for a box frame that work great.

I just got two of these beds, you could use a box springs. We choose not to however it works either way.

We put just the mattress on for the first year or so, but the wood slats that hold the mattress just aren't supportive enough; I was having back and hip pain. We added the box springs and I'm not in pain like I was, but now the mattress is unusually high. If you're short it would be tough to have the box springs on. (I'm 5'7")
