Can we place the box spring on top of the frame?

You wouldn't want to place a box spring on top of the frame. The frame has slats that connect from the middle board to the frame which strengthens the frame all over. Also, the slats are purposely bowed upward just a little to allow for flex. My mattress comes up out of the frame and it's 8". With a box spring it would be super high. I got the queen and got a memory foam mattress. A regular mattress would suffice as well. Hope this helps!

It has slats on the bed frame and you only need a mattress and a mattress board. It does not require a box spring and would probably look disproportionate.

Depending on the height and size. With a thick mattress, it may be a bit high.

I suppose you could, but the frame itself is already pretty hight off the ground, and as soon as I added the mattress, it was a about 12 inches off the ground; no need for a box spring.

would say yes, toss the box spring (I didn't have one). I'm not sure if you can put it on top, but even if you did it would make your bed really, really high (the height of your mattress & box spring + about 15 inches)

You can put it on top of a box spring, but you can also put it on a platform bed, then it doesn't require a box spring. You can make your own platform out of plywood, and 1 x 8's or something similar also.

You Could, It would be so much easier to fit them to a frame the box spring sits on.(not included) but, not expensive!

You do not HAvE to use a box spring. We like our bed to be high off the ground so we chose too. It works either way and looks great!

It's meant to be set in a bed frame, but I would think it could be set up on the floor and then put the box spring and mattress on top.

We bought the frame and all, we also kept our box spring and placed it on top. It moves around and we have to slide the Heavy thing around without moving the box spring. (Can't be done, so we fuss over the thing once a week.)

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.

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.

Yes, I use a frame under the box spring. Whether it's necessary or not, I couldn't tell you. I just have a regular metal frame, nothing fancy.

I suppose you could put a boxspring on top of it, as long as the boxspring and the mattress did not slide around each other. The way it's designed though, you don't need a boxspring. The boards/slats have some flexibility. Mine is very comfortable with just a mattress.

There are two triangular hooks on top of the frame. Yes you can . John--------

The frame is actually quite high as it is, so I wouldn't recommend using a box spring.

I put mine on top of our old box spring, worked fine. Bed sets a little lower with this mattress as it is not as thick as our old foam mattress was.

no, i have a futon mattress on top of the slats. you cant use a box spring ,it would be taller than the headboard. plus with all that weight the slats will break

No I don't think so. We are using the box spring with it because it was more comfortable with our mattress, but the bed is pretty high now. We also got the headboard and we had to make a stand to raise the headboard because we are using the box spring.
