Yes, the matching prepac bed is a platform bed that has drawers underneath wooden slats, and the mattress sits right on top of the slats.

i would think it would be able to be used with a platform bed with no box spring. it depends on the setup of your platform bed. there is an opening from the floor up to approximately 16.5" from the ground where hopefully your platform bed would be able to block the opening so then that way only the upper part of the wood frame and shelf would show.

The platform bed works in place of your box springs and slats are not needed. If you currently have a bed frame, like a sleigh bed or something similar, and you need to be sure that this platform will fit inside the bed frame, you should measure very carefully. We did not have a bed frame so it was not an issue for us.

You could use a box spring, but it isn't necessary. This bed is a platform bed. There aren't "slats," but a solid piece of plywood.

You should be okay but call the vendor to be sure. I also have mine on 1x4 pine slats with 2" or so spaces in between the boards. I am sure you don't need a box spring though. The bed is absolutely fantastic!

It depends on whether you will be using it with a box spring on not. The bed is very firm so I would say you could go for a platform vs a box spring.

I have mine on a box spring but my daughter has hers on the metal frame they suggest you buy for it so I would say yes, this will work on a platform bed.

it does not require a box spring, I had baught a platform metal bed frame/ foundation and it works great!!

Probably not. Ours is on a platform frame and it's working fine. Use a box spring only if there's no support under the mattress, like with a plain metal frame.

I would not recommend a box spring for this platform bed set. I have been using this set with a mattress only (Signature Sleep Contour 8-Inch Mattress, Queen ) and it works beautifully!

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.

We didn't because we wanted the bed to be lower to the ground. We used slats with a large but thin piece of plywood on top and put the rail on top of the plywood. Because of our bed's frame & b/c we didn't use box springs - everything sat farther down in the frame so we didn't anchor this rail down on the other side. It wasn't going anywhere! So yes, it CAN be used w/o box springs but it will probably depend on how your bed frame is set up.

Yes, I bought a platform bed to go with it. It worked out very good I'm glad I went with the platform bed, I have never had a platform bed before but I am glad I decided to use the platform instead of a box spring.

You do not need a box spring. i simply went to Lowes and had them cut a few pieces of wood and used that instead. It worked well as a platform bed which was not too high for my 5 year old. Hope that helps.

I says somewhere... I think on the instructions that come with it that it should not be used with a box spring. It should be used with a platform bed or slats like IKEA beds have.

Absolutely! I bought a memory foam mattress (can't remember the brand) and it is very comfortable without a box spring. I really like the platform.

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.

Definitely. We originally placed the mattress on top of a platform but it was too low. This mattress works great with a box spring.
