do you need a box spring with this mattress?

I do use a box spring but one is probably not required as long as you have something flat to sit the mattress on.

It would work without one on a platform bed ... but really it is designed to be used with a box spring or some kind of foundation . I have had it for almost a year .... used my old box spring that was fine and I am quite satisfied ... you need to use a mattress cover ... would recommend a thick one ... I use one that is thick and springy ... it works great ... the mattress itself is quite thick ... feels very firm at first but overtime softens up ... it was a great buy !

No box spring required, and it would be too tall with one. The mattress rests mostly on the solid cabinets and partially on slats that span the void between the drawers and the headboard.

Yes a box spring is needed. The foundation are slats which would be placed too far apart for just a mattress. Also the bed would be super low with no box spring

The need for a box spring depends on the type of bed frame you have. My bed frame has the bars across from top to bottom to support the mattress so I don't use a box spring, however I do use a Mattress Support folding bed board to give my mattress extra support. With the mattress support boards it is a very comfortable mattress!!!

This bed does not come with a mattress. You only need to purchase a mattress, no box springs are needed.

No, not unless you put a piece of plywood on it first. Also, without a box spring your mattress would be really close to the floor.

No box spring needed. Use a reg twin mattress on both girls beds. Had them over a year now they are great! Very comphy

This is only the mattress! A box spring would need to be purchased seperately. However, the mattress is comfortable enough to be used without a box spring.

No! I have a really thick memory foam mattress on mine and it fits perfectly. No box spring needed!

I don't think it necessarily needs a box spring, but your mattress would be more comfortable with one. Box springs help displace the pressure of the springs in the mattress. The platform will keep the springs from bouncing and you end up with spring in your back. This is from personal experience. Can always get a box spring later if the platform isn't to your liking.

Yes it has to have a box spring. You would be way too low with just a mattress. You can get a good box spring at Big Lots for hardly any cost if you have one of those stores near you.

No box spring required. There are two legs that stick out like a fork. It just slides and tucks under the mattress.

No, you don't have to but it is not needed. I have never used a box spring with mine.

Yes- though note that this mattress requires a platform bed frame, or a box spring.

I do not believe you need a box spring. I have the matress on a Bunkie Board in a bunk bed.

This bed is really made as a platform. So technically you don't need the box spring. We just have the mattress. You "technically" could put the box spring but I think the bed will be way too high. You may need a step to get into the bed with both. Hope this helps.

I had a platform base so I did not need a box spring. The mattress is very comfortable!
