Can I use my existing box spring and put this mattress on top of it?

I did so with the memory foam mattress I purchased for my daughter's bed without problem. Mine is on a platform foundation. Realize that the box spring configuration is less firm. I have no idea about the long term effects of putting one on a box spring. My daughter loves hers.

Yes you can. The double size mattress I bought replaced my daughters old and sagging top mattress. We put it right on top of the box spring and she loves it!

If you bed is at a normal height and you out this on top of your existing mattress it will be about taller.. its better if you just set it on top of the base board only; that way ill be at a normal height and have a better base to stiffen the bottom part of your new mattress providing better memory foam support on your back

Yes you can. I put ours on metal bunk beds and you can't even tell. These mattresses are so comfy. My teenage girls have them on their bunk beds and you know if they didn't like them everyone would hear about it.lol.

It is a really tall bed, so no, I wouldn't use a box spring, or you'll have to literally climb into bed.. It's not necessary, either, as there are wood support slats to hold up the mattress.

No, not unless you put a piece of plywood on it first. Also, without a box spring your mattress would be really close to the floor.

I have my box spring and mattress on top. It's very sturdy but you'll be high up

I highly recommend using a box spring. If you don't you will probably ruin your mattress.

I don't see why not. The bed might be a little more firmer since the box spring does add a small smidge of flex. The bed that I have is sitting on the box spring from my last bed simply because it would be too low without it.

I'm not sure whether you can or not. I have mine on a box spring. My advice to you would be to call the company. They are very helpful.

You could, but it would make it very high. I bought this bed in order to put a trundle pull out under it. I am 5'4" and when I am standing next to the bed, the top of the mattress (without the box spring) come up to mid thigh on me. Any higher and it would be hand to get into.

Definitely does not need a box spring. In fact you should not use a box spring. The bed is very thick. Place it on a frame and it will end up higher than the old frame/box spring/mattress combo. And I like the higher profile.

You wouldn't want to place a box spring on top of the frame. The frame has slats that connect from the middle board to the frame which strengthens the frame all over. Also, the slats are purposely bowed upward just a little to allow for flex. My mattress comes up out of the frame and it's 8". With a box spring it would be super high. I got the queen and got a memory foam mattress. A regular mattress would suffice as well. Hope this helps!

you can but recommended that you add a sheet of plywood between box spring and mattress to avoid/prevent sagging.

You CAN put this on top of your box spring, but it's a very thick mattress. You will need something underneath it to support (like slats or a board) it.

I just used my existing box springs. If you are not going to do that, I am sure it would need solid support beneath.

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

Yes. I use this in place of the bedframe that originally came with the mattress and box spring. I also don't use the box spring any more. Works great

You can use a regular mattress and a box spring is not needed. Your bed will sit at pretty much the same height it would with a standard frame and box spring. The storage space underneath is great.

I've had this wonderful mattress for about 6 months so far and I just placed it on top of my old box spring with no issues at all. I believe you can buy a special base for these mattresses but I couldn't afford it at the time and now don't see a need for it.
