We have ours on a solid plywood base in a camper. It is very comfortable. Because it is foam I think it might do better on a box spring as a frame might let it sag

I used a frame and put supports down and then covered that with a sheet of plywood. The mattress cannot sit independently on a frame, it is too soft. My daughter has a similar mattress and we have a box spring under it. Both ways seem to work fine so I would simply choose whichever costs less.

I used my existing but covered it with two pieces of plywood to fit my cal king boxes as you need a firm substrate below a Memory foam mattress.

It needs some support. We have it in a RV which is on a closed in wooden box that has storage underneath. We don't have a box spring under it and it's quite comfortable. But it would slip down through just a metal frame.

The mattress is very tall which makes it even taller on a box spring. As I remember it comes with 10 years warranty, therefore a box should be sufficient.

U need a box spring or solid base. It's a great mattress but u still need support under it.

I'm not sure what that is. I would just use the frame that comes with the mattress.

I would definitely get at least a box spring to keep your mattress clean and off the floor. If you get a frame, you will need either a box spring or boards to keep the bed flat/shapely since it does conform.

A good base maybe sinc it is very thick & heavy. By base, i mean it should be something sturdy enough to hold the weight of both the mattress and the person using it. CBag is right, platform frame or slats are good options.

No. You definitely need a bed frame to properly support the mattress and box spring.

I used a platform bed frame that has multiple slats and no need for a box spring. It is firm and very comfortable, perfect for that platform bed.

You can use a regular mattress and a box spring is not needed. Your bed will sit at pretty much the same height it would with a standard frame and box spring. The storage space underneath is great.

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

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.

Get any platform frame to rest the mattress directly on the frame. You don't need a box mattress.

We put a sheet of plywood over our existing box springs and it's worked beautifully. You definitely need to support the mattress.

I would definetly not use a a regular box spring. you need a completely flat serface like a couple sheets of ply wood on top of your favorite bed set. its a great matress if you havnt picked it up already and worth way more then what you pay for it. extremely pleased

You do not need a separate box spring. Support slats are included. I have had an issue with the mounting system for the support slats in that some parts were not shipped and double the amount of a similar part was included. They are shipping the replacement parts ... hopefully they will arrive today! ... I am figuring that if the support system is too weak (I am a big guy) I will go get a slat support system from IKEA and I will still be money ahead on other comparable beds. The frame itself is very sturdy. The slats may be the weakest part of the system ... but I will know better after I have been able to sleep in the bed. *** UPDATE *** The parts arrived yesterday. I installed the slats. The bed (I have the full-size version) is sturdy and solid, with just enough "give" to make for a comfortable night's sleep! It was great being back in my own, "new" bed! I have a big frame and I felt very secure and well-supported by the frame and slats.

The mattress is firm enough that if your bed has four or five slats to hold it up you should be OK. We still bought a box foundation instead of a box springs. You can try it and get a box springs if you find that it sags.

Yes, its the frame as well as bars that support the mattress. You would not use a box spring with this bed frame, just a mattress.

You'll need a box spring, for sure. It is literally a piece of foam. A very COMFORTABLE piece of foam, and I love it, but it needs a box spring or a wooden platform.
