Without a box spring does the mattress sit above the frame as in the picture?

Yes. The mattress sits on top of the frame and not sunk down into the frame. It's a good looking bed that with the mattress does sit lower to the ground than our other beds. We use it as a guest bed and it adds a little challenge for our elderly parents but is fine for everyone else.

Yes it will sit above the frame as in the picture, but to be honost with you. The support system materials is so poor so it can be break after one or two months.

Yes, the slats where the mattress sits are only about two inches below the edge of the bed frame.

It just means that the mattress sits on springs, so you don't need a box spring under you mattress. Great bed by the way. I love it! Hope this was helpful to you.

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

It fits between the box spring and the mattress. So without a box spring? I don't know, it may make it a little tricky...

You don't need a box spring. This is the main purpose of this frame. It's surface is well supported just to hold the mattress w/o a box spring. Also, floor to the top of the frame is 14 inches. For me it will be too high if you put both box spring and mattress and will look ugly. But if you really want to put a box spring, of course you can put it. Frame doesn't have raised edges, so you can put anything on it. Also as the frame doesn't have raised edges, mattress tends to move on it. This will be a real problem if you have a box spring on it as resistance will be even less.

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

Yes a box spring is needed. The foundation are slats which would be placed too far apart for just a mattress. Also the bed would be super low with no box spring

The bed comes with the frame as shown in the picture. I have box springs and a mattress on mine. If you have a very thick mattress, you may not need the box spring. I love this bed and use it in my guest house. It is sturdy and my guest say they love it.

You don't need a box spring. I bought a box spring before I got the bed. Now my mattress sits at what feels like 4 feet high. The bed comes with slats to make up for the box spring.

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. The frame folds flat against itself. You'll have to have the mattress folded and stored separate from the frame.

I would say it's optional. To some, the bed might seem too low without a box spring, but if you have a good mattress you won't need a box spring.

A boxspring isn't necessary, the mattress sits on a platform. The picture shows bed without a boxspring

If you have a mattress with box spring, then you're all set. What's deceiving about the pic is the support rails along the side. That is not included.

No it doesn't come with box spring or frame. You do not need a box spring however with a foam mattress. I have my mattress laying right on top of frame made for foam mattress and it works great. I was worried the foam might tear without anything between the foam and metal frame but it doesn't. I've had mine a year with 4 pit bulls jumping up and down on it everyday and even no tears in top of mattress.
