Can I put a memory foam mattress on this? It doesn't have a box spring. Will it sink?

You would need something like a box spring mattress or just put suitable strong boards or lumber cut to fit the frame. You would definitely sink on just a plain foam mattress!

I wouldn't. Mine bent the first day I got it just from laying on it. Not moving or anything. I woke up on the floor. I wouldn't waste my money on this one. I bit the bullet and just got a more expensive one and its fantastic

You will need at minimum a box spring. Rails are designed to support box springs not the mattress itself. Your memory foam mattress will be destroyed on the rails without a boxspring to support it properly.

The bed frame don't have the support to hold a box spring so the box spring will move a around on you when you lay it on the frame. So my opinion would be just to uses it with just a mattress. But I love the bed frame.

I guess you can but we do not. We put this on an old waterbed frame (like a platform). Just have the mattress on, no box spring.

I don't see why not. We use it with a memory foam mattress. It also comes with a covering. We sit ours on a solid 9 point metal frame. Then cover it with a bed skirt. Our box frame is king size, so carrying into our bedroom unassembled was a plus. It is pretty solid and quiet. I used extra screws to anchor all the cross boards in place to make it as solid as possible. They only give you a minimal amount of screws from the factory. Easy fix

We have a box spring and a memory foam mattress on it. You could probably get away with some plywood and a mattress. The bed is very sturdy but comes in pieces and I mean every piece was put together. We love it though, it's gorgeous and pulls the room together.

It sinks a little but it is definitely not a memory foam. Like I said in my previous review, it seems to be that firmness is a very personal thing. Some people feel this is too firm for them.After my back went out again in January I placed a piece of plywood between the mattress and this foam and I have been sleeping like that ever since. For some people this would be unbearable but it works for me. I hope this helps.

Hi, you sure can se a box spring with this bed. Just keep in mind that we suggest a maximum weight of 500 pounds on it to last long. Thank you so much!

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

We have it on my daughter's bunkbed with no box spring and it is still very firm! You don't necessarily need a box spring, but some sort of platform would help or it would be very low to the ground...(only 5-6 inches in height).

Not sure we had a box spring we just put it on top of that. No problems. It is a good mattress.

Yes it has to have a box spring. You would be way too low with just a mattress. You can get a good box spring at Big Lots for hardly any cost if you have one of those stores near you.

You will need a box spring. The 4 or 5 thin slats are not enough to support a mattress. Otherwise a great bed. Easy to put together. Looks more expensive than it is.

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.

No, we just put the mattress on it. If you put a box spring, the mattress will be too high. The picture is what our little girl's bed looks like with just the mattress.

You can add a box spring but you bed will be very tall. You will need a step stool. I only use a mattress.
