I did so, and yes it's lower, but what bugs me is the creaking noises. I never heard anything when I had a regular mattress on the box spring, but with the memory foam mattress on top, it makes loud creaking noises when I shift positions. Not always, but often. I'm thinking about putting a plywood board between the mattress and box springs.

I wouldn't think so. Memory foam mattresses generally either need a platform base or a special box spring. Do not try and use a traditional box spring with a memory foam mattress as you will not get the full support of the mattress. I tried for a month using a standard box spring then switched to a memory foam box spring and there is a definite difference, slept much better on the special box spring.

I believe that you could use both a box spring and mattress with this bed frame if you wanted too. It would make the bed much higher though and the only consideration would be that the frame could support the weight. This type of bed is usually made for just a mattress which avoids the need for a box spring because of the supporting slats on the frame which is what I was looking for. With a good firm mattress like we have it is just as supportive as one with a box spring and we don't have the extra cost for one like we would have with the standard bed. I find that with just the mattress it is easier to make up the bed and turn the mattress occasional as it is suggested. I love this bed frame.........it is also high enough to store items under it in storage bags or they even make bed "drawers" that slide under the frame.

I have a memory foam mattress on the frame, which is 14 1/2" off the floor, making the total height 21" off the floor. It would be your own preference to use a box spring, however, it is not necessary. If you already have a box spring, try sleeping on the frame without it. Then make your decision. I get a great night's sleep without a box spring.

You put it on the foam or gel mattress as shown in the picture. I wouldn't put it directly on a box spring or the frame because it is a balloon in essence and you would have puncture issues. Hope this helped

Hello Lexine, No. A steel base, a standard foundation ( not box springs with coils ) and or a platform bed are all ideal bases to go under the memory foam mattress. The harder the surface, the better the memory foam mattress will perform.

Yes, you can. I have a memory foam mattress and I love the height - I think it is perfect.

Yes, my Mom's bed is a 8" memory foam mattress and it was about 2" above her mattress. My husband drilled another set of holes in the rails so the rails would fit lower than the mattress. BTW my mom really like the bed rails. She feels safe and she uses them to help her turn at night.

I don't see why you couldn't. I do not have mine on a box spring because my bed frame is already high, and this mattress makes the top of the bed high enough I almost have to jump into bed.

I did so with the memory foam mattress I purchased for my daughter's bed without problem. Mine is on a platform foundation. Realize that the box spring configuration is less firm. I have no idea about the long term effects of putting one on a box spring. My daughter loves hers.

You should be fine. We actually placed ours on a standard box spring as well. Simply the best money ever spent on a mattress! Enjoy

These foam beds should have a solid, hard surface to rest on; box springs are not solid. Plywood will do just fine, so you can build a bed to any height that you wish, with very little effort.

I just used a mattress - a thicker memory foam one. I don't think there is room for both box springs and a mattress.

Hello,No. this mattress does not include a box spring. It is the one that goes on top of a box spring. If you want to know about the quality I can say that I thought that this one was firm memory foam, but when I tried it, I woke up with back pain, restless. I think that the quality is not bad for the price, but it depends on what you are looking for.

Hello Kris,A steel base, a standard foundation ( not box springs with coils ) and or a platform bed are all ideal bases to go under the memory foam mattress. The harder the surface, the better the memory foam mattress will perform. In short a box spring is not required. Just a firm surface to go under the mattress!Hope this helps,Steve

I'm not sure how sturdy memory foam mattresses are. I don't have any experience with them at all. To provide more insight on the product, the interior rails that the bed rest on are 10 inches by 5.5 inches if that helps. I have two of these. My king frame sits on a mattress with low profile box springs. My twin frame however is the mattress only and it's works either way comfortably-without sliding or falling through.

It is critically important to use a good solid foundation, rather than a box spring with Memory foam mattresses. I've had a bedinabox mattress for 5 years. I love it, and i recently tried it on a box spring after another memory foam bed needed a foundation. Now this bedinabox mattress dumps me out of bed if I get near the edge, because the box spring sags when I do. Get the very good bedinabox oak foundation...
