do you need a box spring for a child bed? thx

Probably not. Ours is on a platform frame and it's working fine. Use a box spring only if there's no support under the mattress, like with a plain metal frame.

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

I am not sure, but this mattress was bought for my toddler son's twin bed which came with slats and we just put the mattress on top of that. The bed is very comfortable, even for an adult.

No, we just use a platform for them. Super comfy for my little guys. I have them in my older sons' room as well. My oldest spn's room becomes our guest room so he sleeps on the mattress as well. He's 6ft, 200 lb and finds it comfortable as well, and it's held up beautifully!

It all depends on how high you want the bed. The mattress doesn't require one.

No, this bed doesn't need a box spring. The surface that the mattress rests on is solid wood (not slats or springs like some beds) so a box spring isn't necessary. You could probably use on if you wanted , but it's not needed.

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.

For me, I use no box spring. My bed seems perfect without it. If you feel you need box springs you can always order it later.

The need for a box spring depends on the type of bed frame you have. My bed frame has the bars across from top to bottom to support the mattress so I don't use a box spring, however I do use a Mattress Support folding bed board to give my mattress extra support. With the mattress support boards it is a very comfortable mattress!!!

No. The bed needs a box spring and matress set. I really like the bed. Iti's quiet and sturdy, besides being lovely to look at.

No box spring needed. Use a reg twin mattress on both girls beds. Had them over a year now they are great! Very comphy

No, you do not need a box spring. I have my mattress on a plain plywood board, and it works great.

You don't have to use a box spring. You can use a platform of some sort to support it, or you can buy a foundation for it as I did for another mattress. There's a few ways to set it up so that it's right for you.

A box spring isn't necessary. The bed is designed to place the mattress directly on top of the frame.

Don't use a box spring. You'd need a ladder to climb up onto this bed if you did ;)

There is really no reason to use a box spring at all. There are slats that go across the bed frame and that is all you need. If you did use a box spring, you would be rather high and your mattress might slide off trying to get in and out of bed.

Box spring is not required. You can use a box spring if you feel that the mattress is too low from the ground.

The trundle that I have it on has a spring base so I am not using a box spring with it. As I remember bunk beds usually have either slat supports or spring supports so I would say no a box spring shouldn't be needed

Yes a box spring is needed. The foundation are slats which would be placed too far apart for just a mattress. Also the bed would be super low with no box spring

We used a bunk mattress which is thick and has a board on the bottom so we didn't use a box spring. I am not sure.

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