Question # 2 you answered "only the mattress". Does that mean one needs 2 bags or you don't recommend putting the box springs in one of these bags?

It depends. If you are moving across the country, or storing your bed for any period of time, I would put the box spring in a bag.

The bag fits the mattress only. You need to buy another if you want the box springs covered as well. These bags are so strong you wont be disappointed. Many of the other brands tear when you try to use them. These are tops !

I bought two. One for the mattress and one for the box spring. Clear tape to ensure both are sealed good.

I bought 2 bags. I put my box spring in the 2nd bag. Sealed with clear packing tape

The mattress comes with a cloth bag to store it in so no need for the original box. When deflated and rolled inside the cloth bag it is comparable to a stored sleeping bag, maybe slightly larger. Hope this helps.

No need for an extra mattress, in fact it's unsafe to use an additional mattress. I ordered the organic cotton sheet recommended as an add on and it's fabulous!

There is only one mattress bag per package. I bought two, one for the box spring and one for the mattress. I also wanted to make sure that my mattress and box spring would be completely enclosed so I bought my bags one size larger so I wouldn't run into any suprises with the fit when I moved. (Bought king/queen size for my full size bed & box spring)

The bed is not meant for using a "Box spring" you just put a mattress down, 2 mattress' no box springs.

Yes, that is what i used & u don't need the box spring, just the twin mattress.

This doesn't come with a mattress/boxspring, the only thing you are ordering is the platform (you shouldn't buy it if you don't want the platform!). Sorry if I misunderstood you.

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!!

The bags are pretty strong. I placed my mattress several time in the same bag and it was fine. But I do not know how it will go when it is placed in garage where is a chance to break a bag if there is something sharp.

I don't think it necessarily needs a box spring, but your mattress would be more comfortable with one. Box springs help displace the pressure of the springs in the mattress. The platform will keep the springs from bouncing and you end up with spring in your back. This is from personal experience. Can always get a box spring later if the platform isn't to your liking.

Only one bag. We had a tempur pedic king bed and it barely fit around it. There is also no tape, or anything to close the bag.

I bought a rather thick mattress but no boxsprings because I wanted comfort. It wasn't the cheapest nor was it the most expensive, I guess middle of the road. I also put pillows on the backside.

Just the mattress. You need a good solid foundation for any foam mattress. We have a daybed and put a piece of wood across the springs. It works well.

For me, i just put it on the floor and sleep from there. Box springs is up to u as a preference. Honestly, i wish i bought a firmer mattress. This is a bit soft for my taste.

I have a full mattress on my bed, so that's the box spring and the mattress. However, it will allow for just a mattress alone. Beautiful bed and strong.

you are only buying the split base, NOT the mattress. The base arrived in 2 boxes as one shipment. One base in eachbox.

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.
