Does this frame require a box spring?

Oh it requires much more that.....the slats it comes with are very cheap and if yo crack one forget it. I still wouldn't trust the frame supporting anything without reinforcing it with a 3/4" piece of plywood or sheer panel (which I did) cut to the inside dimensions of the bed. Lowes will do this for you gratefully and with a smile on their face. They're the best. If you don't do this you may run the risk of....."Mommy, Daddy !!! I've fallen through and I can't get up" I've had zero problems by doing this. It was a cheap remedy. Also FYI......The paint job is iffy at best.

If your bedframe has substantial cross support such as slates, then you do not need a box spring, which is a separate purchase. My Dynasty mattress is on a metal slated frame which provides all the support needed.

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

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.

Yes, I use a frame under the box spring. Whether it's necessary or not, I couldn't tell you. I just have a regular metal frame, nothing fancy.

U need the frame. Although the box spring & mattress are tall enough without it.

It requires either a box spring or a flat frame. It is very comfortable and the price was great hope this helps

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 box spring. But it's poor quality. Mine wood support snapped and I'm not big

You are correct. My daughter has this bed and it does not require a box spring. We love it!! Very easy to assemble.

Not the metal adjustable sqaure frames, but with any platorm frame it would work. no box spring needed. We have ours on the floor bc we have a very active todler and it works fine like that too!

It doesn't need a box spring, I bought a platform bed frame for mine and it's fine. If you put it on a box spring you're going to need a ladder to get into bed, depending on frame height. Technically it doesn't need anything under it if it's inside a bed frame.

No. I bought a frame platform without a box frame. It's nice because it sits 14" up from the floor so there's room for storage underneath.

Yes, you need a box spring with this! There are 4 slats that go across and that is not enough for the mattress.
