I would definitely get at least a box spring to keep your mattress clean and off the floor. If you get a frame, you will need either a box spring or boards to keep the bed flat/shapely since it does conform.

Yes, only the mattress is sold, I use it with a box spring and a regular frame with excellent results.

A frame will do fine. Or just a flat surface. The mattress does it all. I'm sure you will pleased with comfort. Mattresses don't get any better than Sleep Master, at any cost. jim killian April 29, 2013

For best results, a flat platform frame or foundation is needed. We have used box springs on a standard metal frame with memory foam and were happier once we switched to a platform type frame with the mattress directly on top of it. We have this mattress directly on a wooden bunk bed frame and it is great!

There is really no reason to use a box spring at all. There are slats that go across the bed frame and that is all you need. If you did use a box spring, you would be rather high and your mattress might slide off trying to get in and out of bed.

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.

You need only Platform frame. No need for boxspring unless you want to make it too high.

I purchased both a mattress and box spring. I would recommend both..as the frame is metal and a box spring would help reduce mattress sag over time.

If your bedframe has substantial cross support such as slates, then you do not need a box spring, which is a separate purchase. My Dynasty mattress is on a metal slated frame which provides all the support needed.

You don't have to use a box spring, but the wood holding up the mattress is not sufficient enough in terms of strength to hold up the average mattress. You should place additional pieces of wood on the frame or get a flat piece of wood cut to the length and with of the are in which the bed will be placed. Put it over the wood to brace the mattress.

My mattress is by itself on a futon frame. Other reviewers have no box spring. Softness is fully adequate, but one is fully aware of the general firmness due to no box spring. No you do not need a box spring.Amazon offers several very inexpensive frames.

It would depend on what type of bed or bed frame your useing. If you have a platform bed or platform bed frame which is what I used, you don't need a box frame. But if you have one of the frames that basically outlines the outer bottom edges of your mattress then you need a box frame. I hope this helps! Very comfy bed though. I couldn't be happier with it.

No box spring needed. But slats definitely needed. Make sure the gaps between slats are no more than 4", I would suggest.

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.

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

No box spring needed, that is the beauty of it. The slats on the frame support you and the mattress. Bought this for my college student who loves it!

No, you do not need box spring. It comes with slabs. I have no place to put my old box spring, so i just use my box spring instead of the supplied slabs

Ok, if by frame you mean headboard and foot board and side railings but nothing else then you can simply open this structure and put it inside that arrangement as you would any other box spring. You don't have to do anything else, just put the mattress above it and you are good to go.
