Does it work with slat beds or do you need to have box springs?

As the pieces that go between the mattress and what it is on are only 3 straight "sticks" it may be much more difficult to make it secure if the mattress is on just slats.If you still wanted to use this product you would probably have to add a sheet of plywood between the slats and the mattress to make sure that it would be secure.

Yes it works with either beds, my kids as a bunk bed just slide it under the mattress. It's very firm and safe.

Hello and glad you asked. The bed we have has 4 wooden slats that go accross to hold up the plywood the mattress sits on. This bed guard has three plastic feet that slip under your mattress that are about 12 inches long. We put this on our then 21/2 yr olds now 4 year old grand daughter Olyvia's bed and she has not fallen out of bed since. It is adjustable length wise for a standard twin mattresses. I would highly recommend this product. I hope this helps alex2011

These supports take the place of typical wooden slats. Your box spring will go down first, then the mattress.

The support slats come with it. You do not need nor would you want a box spring as it would make it so high as to cover the headboard. We picked up a mattress at Costco and it is perfect.

Yes--we do not use a box spring--the wooden slats are intentionally bowed, to give flexibility, but slightly flimsy (we needed to use small pieces of cardboard to keep them in place--was not hard to do) but we are happy with the looks and durability of the bed.

I used a platform bed frame that has multiple slats and no need for a box spring. It is firm and very comfortable, perfect for that platform bed.

Yes you will need a box spring it only comes with the slats to place the box spring and mattress on.

The bed comes with slats but in my opinion, they can put in a few more. Having box springs is safer. I have a 9" box, 12" mattress and it levels with the end height of the bed.

It doesn't need a box spring! We placed ours on the wood slats for my son's bunk bed and it works great..

No box spring is needed, but as stated in an earlier response, you will need a couple extra slats.

It comes with slats for secure mattress support, no box springs needed. Just add mattresses and you're ready to go!

Rachel we still used the bed slats just as an extra form of protection/ to reinforce the box spring. I would GUESS you don't need the slats... I'm guessing you're saying the box spring fits perfectly in the rails, in which ours does, but i'm old school" we used the slats as well. IF someone heavy sits on the bed the slats take on the pressure of the extra weight. Hope this helps

Nope! Mine is on 1x4 wooden slats. It's quite a bit cheaper than a box spring. Also stronger. Hope that helps.

The slats replace the box spring. But a box spring and mattress will also work. It is a great bed for my son.

you don't need any slats. It is designed for a memory foam mattress to lay right over the top. It eliminates the box spring, I should have put this thing in years ago!

You do not need a box spring. The wood slats are fine. I have a memory foam mattress on the slats.

As long as you have a foundation. This is not a platform bed, the slats are made to support a boxspring, not act as one.

If you have a platform bed with adequate slats, you do not need anything else. If you have a normal bed frame, you definitely need a box spring.
