Can I use this frame for my queen mattress without a box spring?

I suppose you could if you laid a piece of ply wood on the frame first. But I would not put just a queen mattress on this frame, I would only do that with a twin mattress.

If it's a memory foam mattress I wouldn't recommend getting this frame because it provides very little support, so some areas of the mattress are going to sink. If it's a regular mattress then I think think it shouldn't be too bad. Although I still wouldn't recomend getting this frame.

Not a good idea. Too little support. Would most likely be lower than you would expect as well. Not intended to be a replacement for a box spring.

No. You would need something with a solid platform in order to bypass a box spring. A bed 'frame' is not a platform.

My mattress is by itself on a futon frame. Other reviewers have no box spring. Softness is fully adequate, but one is fully aware of the general firmness due to no box spring. No you do not need a box spring.Amazon offers several very inexpensive frames.

No, this bed doesn't need a box spring. The surface that the mattress rests on is solid wood (not slats or springs like some beds) so a box spring isn't necessary. You could probably use on if you wanted , but it's not needed.

Box spring is not required. You can use a box spring if you feel that the mattress is too low from the ground.

I have it on a platform bed and it is great, so you will not need a box spring, as long as it have support (platform, slats or even a sheet of plywood if you are using a traditional bed frame).

I guess you can but we do not. We put this on an old waterbed frame (like a platform). Just have the mattress on, no box spring.

The headboard does not come with a bed frame. I purchased the bed frame separately and yes you will need a box spring to support your mattress.

You don't need a box spring. This is the main purpose of this frame. It's surface is well supported just to hold the mattress w/o a box spring. Also, floor to the top of the frame is 14 inches. For me it will be too high if you put both box spring and mattress and will look ugly. But if you really want to put a box spring, of course you can put it. Frame doesn't have raised edges, so you can put anything on it. Also as the frame doesn't have raised edges, mattress tends to move on it. This will be a real problem if you have a box spring on it as resistance will be even less.

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 have a standard queen size mattress. The box spring isn't really necessary with the wood slats.

Hi Kerri, I would not suggest using a box spring with this bed. It would be too high. It's an awesome bed btw. Easy to assemble.

No it won't need a box spring. I wouldn't recommend this bed frame. It is what it is. Don't expect much for the price you pay

It fits a queen mattress perfectly, no box spring required. I suppose you could add a box spring but that would make it quite tall. The box spring is really unnecessary. I bought a memory foam queen mattress, and that has turned out to be a perfect match, just that and this frame is all you need. The frame is super sturdy. It's in 2 parts that hook together really easily.

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

The beauty of this bed is that is does not need a box spring. It is a platform bed. I did not use a box spring but i would think that you could if you wanted to .

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

No, you do not need a box spring. I have my mattress on a plain plywood board, and it works great.
