Can you just put this mattress on top of what our mattress is sitting on? It's not really a box spring. Thanks!

Probably depends what it is sitting on. If it is flat yes. The mattress is VERY firm.

Well, its just a Big'ol piece of foam... semi-ridged. It should rest on top of whatever your old mattress was on, no problems. Its quality foam, no complaints, here. Rigid, yet pliable, fit onto my previous plywood, makeshift bed frame, no problem!

Yes, it's fine without a box spring - we put plywood on the slats of our bed frame and the mattress on top of that.

It's pretty heavy. Most memory foam mattresses are. I don't think you need a box spring but you do need something that won't buckle easily.

I suspect you could but whether you would want to spend $800 on a mattress and then not mount it on what it is meant to be mounted on is probably a more important consideration. These mattresses are designed to last longer than their older ones but I'm sure the way they are cared for matters.

The beauty of this bed is that is does not need a box spring. It is a platform bed. I did not use a box spring but i would think that you could if you wanted to .

You can use a box spring with the Sleep Master frame. However, since the top of the frame is 14 inches, it is already at the standard height of a frame and box spring, so putting a box spring on top would increase the height of your mattress by whatever the thickness of your box spring is. We tried it just to see how high it would be, and for us it was just too high.

I don't think it's recommended to do so. The mattress needs a firm base. I initially put it on a box spring, and hated it. Now it's simply on the carpet, and I love it.

you can but i wouldnt suggest it, you will hear the wood hitting the wood and its going to be to high. not good. Box springs in the cost of mattress sets are very inexpensive, maybe see if they would let you take the boxspring back possible or try it and see what you think. Those are my thoughts. Hope all this helps. If noe of this works i have hundreds of others beds for sale, hows that on our full site. 6102773747 Good luck. Linda

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.

You could... but this mattress doesn't need a box spring anyways. I bought a fold up bed frame that you put the mattress on. It only cost like $59.00 and takes a couple of minutes to set up, its light weight and sits up about a foot high so you can store things under the bed. It would look a lot nicer than sleeping directly on the floor. Stay cleaner too.

Hi Kerri, I agree with Drea...the bed would be way too high with a box spring. It's quite high with just the mattress itself. It is a nice sturdy bed with plenty of room underneath for storage or a trundle though.

You can use it with just a mattress if you would like. My daughter has both the box spring and the mattress because she likes it a little higher. It really depends on your preference :) Enjoy it!!!! My daughter loves it!!!!

Wow, that sounds like a nice idea, but I'm really not sure. The mattress fits exactly on top of this platform so the platform might slip down inside the frame like a box spring would, but you might have to remove any hardware on the inside of the wooden frame that is built to hold the box spring in place because this hardware will interfere with the metal platform as it has legs to rest on the floor. I would check on the return policy and give it a try because this platform is a brilliant alternative to a box spring. It was easy to set up and way comfortable.

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.

I don't have a box spring. I just have the mattress on a platform bed. I don't have any problems, it's a heavy mattress and so comfortable!

It's an all foam mattress. I should think it would be fine on a box spring. I would check with the company.

Yes, I just have the mattress on the floor without any box spring and it is very comfortable. I imagine it might be a bit more comfy when placed on a box spring, however, you don't need one.

NO!!! My mattress seats on spring straps. It is a hospital bed. You do not a box spring to use the mattress as long there I something for it rest on. I hope this helps.

You might be able to....I bought a box spring for my bed with a pillow top mattress and I didnt need the boxspring because it sat to high so I use the platform as the base...

Yes, you can. You may eventually want to change it over to just the basic frame that's designed for it (because of height, the box springs wearing down, etc.), but it should be fine placed on the box springs.
