How deep is the box | what depth of mattress would be used for mattress top to be flush w/ top of footboard?

It's about 81/2" deep, but slats arc up so maybe 8". Our padded mattress sits above the footboard but it still looks good. (Our mattress is a full and is a bit narrow-slats show a little on sides but comforter covers it.)

I use an 18 inch matress. It comes a little above the bottom part of the headboard. No box springs necessary. This bed had the most sturdy slats system I have ever used.

My mattress is 91/2 and sits a few inches above foot board so flush would be a 7 inch mattress

It is quite narrow. I have a foot board, and it fits fine, though I had to do a little finagling to position it (laying it down under the bed, and then angling it up into place). I don't have exact measurements, but I can get those for you if need be.

No, it will be way to high. It comes with bent wood slats sit on the metal edges and flatten when you add the mattress. A box spring would add at least 6-10 inches and the mattress would be higher than the sides.

The box's height comes up to my hips. Foot and a half for width. The bed is compact within the box.

We have a standard twin mattress that is 6" deep. The guard rails are 13" tall so you wouldn't want a bed any deeper than around 10". No box spring required as there are wood slates included with the bed. The length of our mattress is 72" long and 38" wide and it fits in there just right with a small amount of room around the sides.

23" from floor to top of platform; add a typical mattress (10' - 12") and you may have to use a small foot stool to get in to the bed - I do. Bed is beautiful, nicely made. I looked all over the internet for months before purchase, and don't believe it is available without the headboard.

I bought this for an old wooden bed that used slats. They were lost, so I bought wider wood ( 6 ", I think) from Menards and used more pieces so that they were closer together and worked pretty much like a platform. No box spring. Enjoy your mattress!

The mattress is indeed 13" deep. The boxspring is approximately 10" deep. You will love it. Very high quality.

We have a king size with a very thick mattress. From the top it only hangs off 15". Mine is not long enough to cover up the box spring. I really like the bedspread but wish it was at least 18" longer on the sides.

My boxspring and mattress together are 18" high and they come just to the bottom of the headboard. There is just enough room to put my hand in to put the bottom fitted sheet in. I cannot see the wall behind it.

I tried it with my queen regular height split box spring, i found it was to tall off the ground and it covers to much of the headboard. A low profile headboard would be better or a mattress atleast 10 inches high/pillow type works the best:-) just bought a new 14 pillowtop today. Looks great

I think you could really put just about any height mattress on this bed...The foot board and head board are fairly tall so they would accommodate just about any typical size...My daughter's mattress is a pillowtop mattress that is about 11 or 12 inches high and it fits great. :) You could easily go taller or narrower.

I agree. The height of the mattress isn't an issue, just how much of a roll off lip there is left over. My grandson was quite a little guy when we bought this so I opted for a 7" depth.

It's designed for both. The bottom rail of the center panel is about 24" above the floor. Without a box spring, the bottom of the center panel will probably be about 10" above the bottom of the mattress. I suppose you could shorten the legs and/or drill new holes for the frame to put the mattress up around the bottom of the panel.

from the floor to the first slat is 5 1/4 inches, from the slat where the mattress would lay to the bottom of the headboard is 17 inches, the foot board is roughly 17 1/4 inches tall, and the shelf where the mattress would lay is about 4 3/4 inches tall. We have a queen size mattress on it with a box spring and there's still a little gap of 2-3 inches from the mattress to the headboard. Hope this helps :)

A queen sized mattress will sit about 2 inches deep into the frame. No need for box bed. I Don't think they make a frame for full sized bed.
