Do I need a box spring with this platfporm bed?

We bought the queen size version to put a sleep number bed on. Their plastic support structure sags. This platform is tall enough and stiff enough for the sleep number setup, which has a plastic plate under the air mattresses. Worst case for a mattress would be to a 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick sheet of plywood if the mattress settles in between the slats - or because the slats are a little lower than the frame. I found it easy to assemble and is very stiff - no sag side to side with the queen size.

Not if you get a good thick mattress. The bed has an adjustment so you can lower the frame to allow a box spring, but it will be money wasted. We got a good thick queen Beauty Rest Mattress and it is great without the box spring.

No. I have a memory foam mattress sitting directly on the frame without any issues so far.

No. This bedframe does not require a box spring. I purchased one of these bed frames for a cabin. I was so pleased with it I purchased five more. I was concerned that it would not be very solid, but these bed frames are rock solid. In my opinion, they are a very good product at a very good price.

The slats are pretty close and I am using a memory foam on the Queen size with no problem

You do not need a box spring. The floor of the bed is very stable with about 10 bars across.

No, this bed doesn't need a box spring. The surface that the mattress rests on is solid wood (not slats or springs like some beds) so a box spring isn't necessary. You could probably use on if you wanted , but it's not needed.

Yes, it needs a box spring. There aren't enough slats on the bottom to support just a mattress.

Nope. The wooden slats are only a few inches apart so a box spring isn't necessary

No box spring needed. I bought one and the bed fit perfectly. the box spring might make the mattress to high

I just got two of these beds, you could use a box springs. We choose not to however it works either way.

The bed does not need a box spring unless you have a mattress that is ultra thin! I have a pillow top king size mattress from Ikea and my own make shift bed rail since the one that comes with it is too frail. The bed is a platform!

You do not need a box spring for this bed. I had a box spring and used it with the mattress on this bed, the result is that the combined height of the mattress and box spring reaches to practically the top of the foot frame.

Yes, you need a foundation or box spring. It's not a real platform bed, though it looks like one. I had to return it. They have a similar looking one at Walmart.com that is an actual platform with slats.

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

Yes, you need a box spring this is not a platform bed just a frame. This also sits very close to the floor but with the box spring our bed is a perfect height.

If you don't use a box spring, you need to buy slats for the bed frame which is what I did

No, you do NOT need a box spring. I use a platform bed with what's called a Bunky Board. To this day I swear it's the most comfortable mattress I ever slept on

You will need a box spring, only three slats come with it. I recommend this bed for guest only and not regular family usage.

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