Can you use this on a platform bed where the mattress rests on slats rather than a box spring?

Depending on the spacing of your slats. If located so that they are spaced the exact same as the bars, yes. If not, then no. Best to measure the slats locations and then compare to the width of the item first.

We have not used it with a slat bed we have a box spring but i do know it says right on the box and its information that it can be used for slat beds. We were going to get a slats bed before we decided on the box spring and we had already found this before we switched.

You might be able to....I bought a box spring for my bed with a pillow top mattress and I didnt need the boxspring because it sat to high so I use the platform as the base...

I currently have mine on a storage foundation from Ikea that uses slats. As long as the slats aren't far apart on the platform bed, this mattress should be fine.

I suppose you could though the platform bed is designed to support just the mattress. I put a memory foam mattress on mine but it set too low. I put a base under it and it fit perfect. I'm certain a box spring would as well.

This will ONLY work WITH a boxspring. This is not a platform bed.. It just looks like one :) I have a boxspring and it's perfect

I have mine on a box spring but my daughter has hers on the metal frame they suggest you buy for it so I would say yes, this will work on a platform bed.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use the box spring. I'm using two painted pallets for my xl twin bed. Enjoy your bed.

Yes this could be used as a platform bed. It doesn't come with slats (obviously) but the bottom portion has a lip where you could let slats sit.

it depends. if you have a regular spring mattress you're good to go. the slats are about as far apart as they are wide. i have a memory foam mattress and would have needed a box spring but opted instead to buy a large plywood slab the size of the bed.

No, it has wood slats, so you can just set a mattress on top like a normal platform bed.

It would work without one on a platform bed ... but really it is designed to be used with a box spring or some kind of foundation . I have had it for almost a year .... used my old box spring that was fine and I am quite satisfied ... you need to use a mattress cover ... would recommend a thick one ... I use one that is thick and springy ... it works great ... the mattress itself is quite thick ... feels very firm at first but overtime softens up ... it was a great buy !

It depends on whether you will be using it with a box spring on not. The bed is very firm so I would say you could go for a platform vs a box spring.

If you have a platform bed with adequate slats, you do not need anything else. If you have a normal bed frame, you definitely need a box spring.

We do not use a box spring. Ikea bed slats should suffice. Check the softness of this bed before purchasing which is on higher side

I added my box spring for height, however the slats are close together I imagine that if the foam mattress is thick enough it would be fine.

I bought this for an old wooden bed that used slats. They were lost, so I bought wider wood ( 6 ", I think) from Menards and used more pieces so that they were closer together and worked pretty much like a platform. No box spring. Enjoy your mattress!
