Do you need to use a box spring with this or can you throw a thick mattress on it with some ply wood ?

Thanks for the questions. You may use 1/2" - 3/4 plywood if you like it will be fine, the only issue may be that the mattress may sit too low, personal preferance? Please feel free to call toll free at 1 866 753 8001 or go to the website at thegoodtimber.com

It's made for a box spring and mattress, but you could use any type of platform under your mattress. Just be aware that if your platform and mattress will be substantially lower than a regular box spring and mattress would be that you should contact us at 1-866-753-8001 so we can adjust some of the measurements to fit your needs. Since our beds are custom built, making a few adjustments is normally not a big deal.

We have a box spring with a mattress, but plywood would work. It might sit lower to the floor though. My mattress is 13 in. thick and all together sits about 3 feet off the floor.

I already had a box springs and mattress, so used that. There are four 2x6 slates that run the width of the bed, but they are VERY rough wood. I think plywood and a mattress would work fine. I really like the looks of the bed, but wish I had the extra side rail for added stability (didn't know it was an option until I got the bed and instructions).

We have a box spring and a memory foam mattress on it. You could probably get away with some plywood and a mattress. The bed is very sturdy but comes in pieces and I mean every piece was put together. We love it though, it's gorgeous and pulls the room together.

No box spring is needed. Ours is sitting on plywood and is still very comfortable.

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.

I have a slatted bed frame, similar to an Ikea bed frame and no, you do not need a box spring. I agree with another reviewer that this mattress is very firm and I also have put a topper over it. I'm not a heavy person but when I sleep on my side, I can feel the slats on the bottom of the bed on my hips. I don't have this problem any more with the topper but it was an extra expense I wasn't expecting.

No box spring is needed, but as stated in an earlier response, you will need a couple extra slats.

No, I do not have a box spring. My bed has storage drawers underneath it and we just placed ply wood on top of the slats and the mattress directly on the plywood.

It does require a box spring. Although you could easily make it a platform bed by laying down a sheet of plywood ontop of the, included slats.

You will need a box spring. The 4 or 5 thin slats are not enough to support a mattress. Otherwise a great bed. Easy to put together. Looks more expensive than it is.

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

Yes i used a box spring with this bed. It sits a bit high and covers more headboard but i like it

It depends on what surface you will be placing it. It requires a solid surface. We used a plywood base. If you are putting it onto a standard bed frame, you will need some type of box spring.

No, you will need to buy a twin size mattress for it. No box spring needed.

We used a bunk mattress which is thick and has a board on the bottom so we didn't use a box spring. I am not sure.

We used a boxspring. It had rails so if you only wanted to use a mattress I assume you could use a piece of plywood below it.

A thick mattress will be fine - but using a box springs will probably make it too high. I love this daybed & it looks really nice...

Foam mattresses don't use box springs. You will need a frame or a support system.. We used a sheet of heavy plywood In our bed frame. It was cheap and works great. Hope this helps!

No, we just put the mattress on it. If you put a box spring, the mattress will be too high. The picture is what our little girl's bed looks like with just the mattress.
