I have a full mattress set (can I use it on the bottom) or do I need to get rid of the bottom part of the set? Would the full bed be too high then?

Hello Patty -You can use it on the bottom but my opinion is that it would be too high. Of course it will depend on who is sleeping on it and how tall they are. The best bet would be to try it first and then decide. Thank you - Scott

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

You will only need the full mattress itself on the bottom bed. Would be much to high with the box spring. Btw, we love this bed! Beautiful, sturdy, plenty of storage, and great to grow with for a young one! Plus, the full on the bottom is not attached so the bed can become a separate loft bed with a separate full bed if you needed to!

My bed is approximately 14 3/4 inches from the floor to the bottom of the mattress. There is some adjustment available on the legs when you set it up. I think it should be fine.

Depending on how thin the full mattress is, yes, I believe it can be done...there is no center support to block storage; however, the space underneath (from floor to bottom of metal frame/bed) with wheels attached is approx 6 & 3/4 inches, so if your full mattress is thin enough (or at least able to 'smoosh' down a bit...then yes!!! Good luck! PS-- they also sell inexpensive bed frame lifts, they're like varying heights to add lift to the frame...so you may even want to purchase those as well! 2 examples of the lifters that I mentioned are- Home-it Adjustable Bed Risers, Set, 8-inch Bed Riser and Bed Lifts those are like $20, and Home-it 5 to 6-inch Black Bed Riser ,4-pack those are around $11. Hope this helps!!

Hi Kerri, I agree with Drea...the bed would be way too high with a box spring. It's quite high with just the mattress itself. It is a nice sturdy bed with plenty of room underneath for storage or a trundle though.

You can use bedding and mattress pads. They probably mean not to cover the underside of the mattress where the pad goes.

yes Bonnie you can use your box spring with this mattress, but it will make your bed higher than a regular one ! I like mine that way , enjoy !

The bottom of the mattress will sit about a foot off the ground, so add the height of your mattress to one foot to get your overall height. We love this piece! Took a while to assemble, but well worth the price!

Hi, I like a really high mattress do you think I can use a box spring and matress?Will it hold the excess weight of the box spring? Thank you for your help!

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.

This bed is firm, but has give because it is foam. If you sit on the edge, it will give a bit. The bed forms to your body and supports all over. No you cannot use the bottom side.

You could, but it would make it very high. I bought this bed in order to put a trundle pull out under it. I am 5'4" and when I am standing next to the bed, the top of the mattress (without the box spring) come up to mid thigh on me. Any higher and it would be hand to get into.

No. The bottom section is a play or storage area. It's too low for a bed. We tried a toddler bed but it's too dark and small

I'm pretty sure you can't. There are slightly other configurations, for instance with a twin bed under. It's a great bed, very durable, my kids love it. The full sized bed is on casters and can stand alone, so you don't have to use it if you don't want it.

The mattress is extremely tall so I wouldn't put this on top of anything unless you want to use a step ladder to get on and off the bed.

Thanks for your interest in the bed. This is a platform bed so the mattress just sits on a platform. If you put a box spring under the mattress you would be too high. You could possibly remove the platform and set the box spring down into the frame but I cannot say for sure as I don't have one to look at in person.ThanksRussell WestWest Furnishings

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!

You need something because the mattress will sink between the slats. A box spring will set the mattress way to high for the bed design though. I just flattened the box after I unpacked the bed pieces, and laid it over the slats. Worked perfect!
