Why will this bed in full size not work with box springs?

Not really sure. I purchased a platform for the mattress. I can say that this is extremely comfortable. I have had guests over the weekend and I slept on it. Truly is amazingly comfortable and cozy.

Foam beds do not respond well to box springs over time. You can put the mattress on a foundation. A foundation looks exactly like a box spring, but it has no springs in it. The foundation will create a very rigid and firm support for the mattress.

you can but i wouldnt suggest it, you will hear the wood hitting the wood and its going to be to high. not good. Box springs in the cost of mattress sets are very inexpensive, maybe see if they would let you take the boxspring back possible or try it and see what you think. Those are my thoughts. Hope all this helps. If noe of this works i have hundreds of others beds for sale, hows that on our full site. 6102773747 Good luck. Linda

There has to be a hard surface for the Bed Claw to work. It can be one of the cross supports under the box springs (as mine is) or a solid wood subframe.

I doubt it will be a problem. The only challenge we've had is the box spring moves around a little bit (so I wouldn't recommend running and jumping onto the bed - ease onto it at first to see how much the bed moves). Some people have put down sticky mats to keep it from shifting - I've heard other have gotten rid of their box springs and when the mattress itself is on the frame, it stays put. I have both a queen frame and a full size frame. On the queen, the mattress is directly on the frame and works perfectly. We kept the box spring on the full frame and it moves around a bit - but not enough to worry us. Hope that helps!

We are. We have a low profile box springs and the bed is very tall. I don't think it would work well with a regular height box springs unless you cut the legs and made them shorter. But then, you would loose your underbed storage, so I don't know why you wouldn't just buy a standard metal bed frame then.

Our box spring (queen size) sits inside so I suppose you could do a full size and just have am inch or two of free space around the frame

I don't use box springs- I have an IKEA bed utilizes slats, and this mattress sleeps fine on it. You can use box springs or not.

I have our dream foam on a wood platform but I see no reason why a box spring wouldn't work.

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.

That should work, although this mattress doesn't need the box springs. A platform, such as plywood, works fine.

No, due to the height of the rails. The rails are not tall enough for both a mattress and box spring, the mattress would slide right off due to not being contained by the rails. But the bed frame is made to not need a box spring at all, which is how I use it with no problems.

You should be okay but call the vendor to be sure. I also have mine on 1x4 pine slats with 2" or so spaces in between the boards. I am sure you don't need a box spring though. The bed is absolutely fantastic!

The only drawback to using both the box spring and mattress is that the decorative head and footboards would not be seen. Other than that, they should fit. However, I am an average size adult and I sleep comfortably on this bed with only a mattress.

if u use a box spring & mattress it will be way too high. we bought a very good top mattress and it works great. same for the lower bed. hope this helps!

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.

My full-size came with two smaller-diameter metal vertical legs which support the center of the bed- They don't seem pictured here. I would think that the limiting factor would be the breaking point of the wooden slats, which are bowed into the mattress. It's seems like a very sturdy bed once the screws are tightened up...

I would check with manufacturer but this bed is not big enough for large people.
