Does this bed require a box spring?

The bed comes with the bed frame, but not a box spring. Usually the box spring is purchased with the mattress.

You do not need a box spring. i simply went to Lowes and had them cut a few pieces of wood and used that instead. It worked well as a platform bed which was not too high for my 5 year old. Hope that helps.

Correct, no box spring required. We've had this bed for years now and have had 3 different mattresses on it with no problems at all (some made for bunk beds and some not). Great bed!!

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.

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.

No box spring needed. I had to throw mine away. But the extra storage was worth it.

It has slats on the bed frame and you only need a mattress and a mattress board. It does not require a box spring and would probably look disproportionate.

Yes--we do not use a box spring--the wooden slats are intentionally bowed, to give flexibility, but slightly flimsy (we needed to use small pieces of cardboard to keep them in place--was not hard to do) but we are happy with the looks and durability of the bed.

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

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.

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

A box spring isn't needed. I went w/o one for a bit but it was kinda low.. So I added one later.

You do not use a box spring with this bed. It would make the mattress too high. There are round metal rods that support the mattress. You need a mattress and that is it. I did place a thin board atop the metal rods to keep the shape of the mattress, but the board is not necessary.

This bed is really made as a platform. So technically you don't need the box spring. We just have the mattress. You "technically" could put the box spring but I think the bed will be way too high. You may need a step to get into the bed with both. Hope this helps.

yes. My wife and I sleep on this bed without box springs. We bought a platform metal bed frame from Best Price Mattress through amazon for it to rest on.

Yes, you need a box spring. It only comes as headboard, footboard, and the frame. It's very nice. We're extremely happy with it.
