do you put a box spring under this mattress?

No, I didn't. I have a frame with slats and it doesn't need more than that.

No need to, it's redundant unless you don't have a wooden plank or bed frame with wire support for the mattress.

There is a slatted base. The only reason you would need a box spring is if your mattress is really thin, just to keep it from being so low to the ground aesthetically, but not for functionality.

Yes, it needs a box spring. There aren't enough slats on the bottom to support just a mattress.

Yes! I did initially. However, if you put both the mattress & box spring there is just no room on the bottom bunk to sleep. So I took it off. I have had this bunk bed now for 3 months & I am SO HAPPY I bought it. Excellent quality, very strong & the color is just beautiful. My kids adore it too. It took awhile with shipping but it was WELL WORTH the wait! I hope this helps you!

Yes you do and I recommend this one I got off of Amazon: Night Therapy Platform Metal Bed Frame/Foundation Set(SmartBase + Metal Brackets for Headboard & Footboard + Bed Skirt - Queen) - No Box Spring needed . It is one amazing frame support for under the bed. I ordered that and put mattress that I also ordered from Amazon on it and it is great.

Yes you could put it on a box spring, but we had ours on a platform bed. It's a very sturdy mattress. :) very comfortable!! :)

You should be fine. We actually placed ours on a standard box spring as well.Simply the best money ever spent on a mattress! Enjoy

No, you do NOT need a box spring. I use a platform bed with what's called a Bunky Board. To this day I swear it's the most comfortable mattress I ever slept on

These do not come with a box spring, it is only a mattress...... so, yes you do if you have a bed frame that requires a box spring you would need to purchase that in addition.

You are suppose to wedge them in between the mattress and foundation. They didn't work for us since we have a platform bed and no box springs.

No, not unless you put a piece of plywood on it first. Also, without a box spring your mattress would be really close to the floor.

You do NOT need a boxspring underneath it, just a platform. You can't just place the mattress on a bedframe, it will fall through, unless you created some sort of platform with a lot of slats or something. We purchased a metal platform from Amazon that works great with this mattress, or you can purchase them as a set. The platform looks kinda flimsy but it is sturdy enough to hold me and my husband. Together we weight about 450 pounds. The memory foam is great! You never feel the platform and it resumes it's shape quickly when rolling over. We highly recommend this mattress.

Yes, you need a box spring with this! There are 4 slats that go across and that is not enough for the mattress.

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.

No you do not need a box spring. It came with slats underneath. We added a few wooden blocks just to make it extra secure and a pretty thick mattress on the full bed.

I highly recommend using a box spring. If you don't you will probably ruin your mattress.

We did but I had to go to Home Depot and buy some 2 by 4s to put the things that go under the mattress on. It's not ideal but it's doing the trick. It would work best with a bed with a box spring.
