How does the box spring work? Is it firm like a regular box spring?

This Box Spring has a steel frame. It is firm, just like a regular box spring. This box spring is able to be folded, which allows for a very easy setup.

You really don't even feel the box spring...or need it, its main purpose is for raising the bed to a normal level. It was interesting the way it was packaged but we've been sleeping on the bed for over a month now, and are very happy with it. We got the king-sized bed.

This is NOT a squishy mattress! Firm and comfortable from the get go. I have had it several months now and it is still firm and comfy. I would buy it again and will recommend it to you. Good luck!

It is pretty firm. I have it on a couch that is more of a formal not comfortable couch.

I would definetly not use a a regular box spring. you need a completely flat serface like a couple sheets of ply wood on top of your favorite bed set. its a great matress if you havnt picked it up already and worth way more then what you pay for it. extremely pleased

When you lie on it its quite firm. But as it has springs when you sit on it it might seem to be softer as all your weight is at one point.

There is no traditional style box springs. The base is a steel frame with metal 1.5 inch slats (preassembled & screwed into place) across the width about every six inches. The 4 sides fold down and "pop" into place. The bottom is empty. The sides of this "box" sit on your frame. It makes the "box" light and supportive. This whole support is wrapped in a cushioned cover that zips on and off for cleaning. Hope this info helps!

no...it will not firm up the mattress....you might put a piece of plywood between the mattress and box springs for that and if that is to firm then this memory foam will soften it and that might work for you

My mattress is by itself on a futon frame. Other reviewers have no box spring. Softness is fully adequate, but one is fully aware of the general firmness due to no box spring. No you do not need a box spring.Amazon offers several very inexpensive frames.

It's very firm! Beware if you want it to cushion...it's very supportive and not cushiony.

Hi WH! Hey, it is surprisingly firm. This is my daughters bed and she LOVES it. I spent one night on it and wanted to get a "squishy" matress pad :) hope this helps!

It is firm, but not hard firm like a regular mattress. I find it extremely comfortable to sleep on and gives great support. I would never go back to a regular mattress. It bounces back right after you get out of bed.

Yes it is firm, as a matter of fact I like it firm as well. Easy set up comes in one box delivered by UPS. Some reviewers don't like the firmness, the seat cushions especially have good support. The color is more camel than neutral like the picture.

It is firm but if you apply pressure it mashes down. It does pop right back up once pressure is released. You don't need to push down on it to use it.

Hi William B - This bed is both firm and soft. I had my doubts at first but this bed is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. I have back problems and when I lay in this bed I don't want to get up LOL. It is worth the money. It is shipped via fed ex and arrives in a two piece box. When I first saw the box I said O boy I made a mistake but I did'nt this bed comes already assembled all you have to do is take it out the box, unfold and your good to go. This is an awesome bed you will not be disappointed at all. Regards, Holly K-

This mattress is very sturdy and heavy, so I purchased a metal pedestal for it and it's perfect for this this mattress. If you asking, do you need a box spring my answer is no... Bear in mind that this mattress is very firm. My wife is not enjoying it as much as I am. If you are looking for a firm mattress then this one is great...

I think it is rather firm. I also noticed that after sitting on it, it would spring back up like a tempurpedic mattress

No, it's not "firm" it's memory foam so it forms with your body. It's very comfortable. I love it.
