Is the Janis bed a platform bed? or does it require a box spring?

I used a box spring and the head board and foot board are not as high as shown in the pic therefore verylow profile.

Yes, you need a box spring this is not a platform bed just a frame. This also sits very close to the floor but with the box spring our bed is a perfect height.

I have it on a platform bed and it is great, so you will not need a box spring, as long as it have support (platform, slats or even a sheet of plywood if you are using a traditional bed frame).

You don't need a box spring. The foam mattress is awesome & the frame has the wooden slats! Great bed!

You can use a box spring if you want a higher bed or a platform with wooden slats or a bunkie board (usually used for bunk beds) for a lower profile. I purchased a wire grid bed frame threw a bed skirt on it and you'd never know!

Well! My daughter has a platform bed and am able to use it. It is easy to set up and take down in any case. Hope I was helpful.

I would not recommend a box spring for this platform bed set. I have been using this set with a mattress only (Signature Sleep Contour 8-Inch Mattress, Queen ) and it works beautifully!

The platform bed works in place of your box springs and slats are not needed. If you currently have a bed frame, like a sleigh bed or something similar, and you need to be sure that this platform will fit inside the bed frame, you should measure very carefully. We did not have a bed frame so it was not an issue for us.

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

The base has great, built in metal slats, you definitely don't need a box spring. This is a really terrific bed!

You first need a bed frame but yes you need a box spring, you only get the head and foot board of this bed and it comes in pieces that you have to assemble.

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.

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

You'll need a box spring, for sure. It is literally a piece of foam. A very COMFORTABLE piece of foam, and I love it, but it needs a box spring or a wooden platform.

This is a complete bed including the railings and foot board just as displayed in the picture. However you will still need a box spring.

It does require a box spring. Although you could easily make it a platform bed by laying down a sheet of plywood ontop of the, included slats.
