We need to get rid of the boxspring on our daybed. Is there a reason to buy this instead of putting plywood on top of the bed springs?

We bought this for bunk beds and used it on the top bunk. However, on the lower bunk we used ply wood and no box spring. The ply wood seems to be working well and was cheaper. But we've only had the bunk bed for a few months now. We'll see how it wears. I'm not sure how this would be different from a day bad. Hope this helps.

I am not sure I understand your question. You say you need to get rid of the boxsprings but then you are putting plywood on top of the bed springs. I am confused. The bunkie board would look better than plywood.

There is no need for a box spring. This is a platform bed. We purchased the king size bed and have placed a pillow top mattress on the platform. The platform is very supportive. We are very happy with this product. Pictures provided by amazon describe product well.

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.

Box springs makes yur matress last long. But with the slats you dont 'need' one. They work like wooded slats but all metal

yes, it comes with 2 rails, so no need to buy anything else. Regarding the box spring question, you do not have to have a box spring, BUT you do need a flat hard surface. I don't think the wood planks are enough. Maybe you could put a piece of wood in place of the planks in the area of the rails. I have not tried this, because I have a box spring, but from looking at how they work, it would be my opinion and I would try that. If it doesn't work, then you would have to return them and look for something more compatible with your bed.

This probably depends on the bed frame. We have a flat piece of plywood under ours. Works perfectly! No box spring required. :)

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.

No. I originally purchased a regular sized box spring, which made the actual mattress/box spring so high that it took away much of the headboard. I am currently using a half-height box spring, though I don't believe the bed requires one.

We used a boxspring. It had rails so if you only wanted to use a mattress I assume you could use a piece of plywood below it.

I use it with a box spring, because I had one......if you put some plywood or wood paneling sheet and them thin foam would work without boxsprings.

No. you could get some plywood and put that on top of the support system, but the spacing of the support system alone is too wide to support your mattress without a box spring or plywood under the mattress.

The foam part of the bottom of the matress is pretty supportive. If you have a platform style bed with "slats" you don't need a box spring. If your bed does not have something like that you would need a box spring

Box spring is definitely not needed. The bed is already tall enough as it is - we are joking about getting a small step ladder to get on it! :)

No, we just put the mattress on it. If you put a box spring, the mattress will be too high. The picture is what our little girl's bed looks like with just the mattress.

It was a mattress only on top of a hospital bedframe which had springs in the frame. I don't believe box springs would be necessary. It is a nice heavy foam....comfortable and does not squish down easily.

I don't know. We kept our box springs and put plywood between them and new mattress. Sorry

Yes. It will just make the bed higher and you'll see less of the headboard (which is sort of a minus in my eyes). We're using a boxspring on my son's bed.
