Does it need a box spring if you put it directly on a platform?

I believe you can just put it on a platform. I have the wooden platform myself and It seems to hold up the mattress really well.

No. The mattress is plenty high enough and platform beds weren't meant to have both boxspring and mattress.

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.

No a box spring is not needed we purchased a nice mattress to go with it.... The bed is very tall and sturdy we love it!

Nope. The wooden slats are only a few inches apart so a box spring isn't necessary

You should definitely have a base for it we put it on a bed frame with storage underneath so we didn't need the box spring but if you don't have a sturdy bed frame then I would recommend a box spring.I really hope this helps!

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.

No you do not need a box spring. It came with slats underneath. We added a few wooden blocks just to make it extra secure and a pretty thick mattress on the full bed.

I did not simply because with the box spring on top of the platform frame slats the bed was about 4 1/2 feet off the ground. so we just put it directly onto the slats... if you purchase just be careful during construction as some of the wood is kind of thin and soft so screws can shred or tear if you have to screw in/unscrew and screw again

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

I don't have a box spring. I just have the mattress on a platform bed. I don't have any problems, it's a heavy mattress and so comfortable!

On a platform bed you would be fine without a box spring, but on a regular bed you need a support system (either a box spring or a slat platform). I would suggest something thick enough that your mattress is slightly above your bed rails to avoid busted knuckles when making up the bed!

I don't think it necessarily needs a box spring, but your mattress would be more comfortable with one. Box springs help displace the pressure of the springs in the mattress. The platform will keep the springs from bouncing and you end up with spring in your back. This is from personal experience. Can always get a box spring later if the platform isn't to your liking.

Yes you can use a platform instead of a box spring but youmwill have to make the platform solid like with plywood

It doesn't need a box spring, I bought a platform bed frame for mine and it's fine. If you put it on a box spring you're going to need a ladder to get into bed, depending on frame height. Technically it doesn't need anything under it if it's inside a bed frame.

We purchased ours and used a box spring with a mattress. Not sure if a platform bed would work.

You would not be able to use the box spring. The platform on the bed means that it is already high enough and strong enough to support the mattress. Adding a box spring would make the mattress way too high.

No, but you'll need a solid platform of some sort to put it on, unless you're just going to throw it on the ground.
