I have a 16" thick mattress, don't know the box spring thickness, and it comes to the top of the footboard and looks ok. I would think you would want a box spring as this frame sits fairly low to the floor. Hope this helps.

I have a 14" memory foam mattress. I just measured and the mattress sits 2" below the top of the bed rail. A 10" mattress should work well in my opinion.

It is actually a 10" mattress plus the metal frame. The frame was very easy to put together.

The bed comes with the frame as shown in the picture. I have box springs and a mattress on mine.If you have a very thick mattress, you may not need the box spring. I love this bed and use it in my guest house. It is sturdy and my guest say they love it.

I always use a box spring with my beds. Also, you would need to order a frame....this is only the headboard. I have a regular mattress and box spring on my beds. Not sure about the memory foam mattresses.

NO, memory foam mattresses are designed specifically to not use a box spring. I own several memory foam mattresses and the manufacturers say if you use a box spring it will void your warranty as long term box spring use will damage the mattress. It will also cause your mattress to sink in places. They have metal platform bed frames that run about $60 for a twin that work wonderfully with memory foam mattresses. Use a platform frame of some sort for the best results with memory foam mattresses. Good luck!

Absolutely! I bought a memory foam mattress (can't remember the brand) and it is very comfortable without a box spring. I really like the platform.

My frame did not come with a box spring. It doesn't have much support, just enough to hold the mattress. In short yes.

You will not be able to use 10" mattress unless you take the wheels off the trundle bed. Hope this helps.

You wouldn't want to place a box spring on top of the frame. The frame has slats that connect from the middle board to the frame which strengthens the frame all over. Also, the slats are purposely bowed upward just a little to allow for flex. My mattress comes up out of the frame and it's 8". With a box spring it would be super high. I got the queen and got a memory foam mattress. A regular mattress would suffice as well. Hope this helps!

Purchased this bed frame for my son in Queen size. Yes, can be used without box spring.

You don't need a box spring. I bought a box spring before I got the bed. Now my mattress sits at what feels like 4 feet high. The bed comes with slats to make up for the box spring.

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 purchased a 10" memory foam mattress on amazon. Works well, my son says it is the best mattress ever. Mattress was delivered to front door with free shipping due to Amazon prime.

The mattress is very tall which makes it even taller on a box spring. As I remember it comes with 10 years warranty, therefore a box should be sufficient.

Yes, its the frame as well as bars that support the mattress. You would not use a box spring with this bed frame, just a mattress.

the memory foam mattress is 12 inch high and probably will make your bed quite high to get into. We didn't use a boxspring with ours and you certainly don't need one with this mattress, it just your personal height preference that you like for a bed. One of the responders stated that it will void the warranty, which is not quite true, the warranty states that the foundation must be even or flat which I would assume your boxspring would be.
