Is this a platform bed

No, it is not a platform bed. There are three cross rails to support the mattress.

Hi, I'm not really sure what a platform bed is. There are two bolt holes on each leg that could be attached to another board with holes lined up . May have to use longer bolts if bed board is thick. It is a really nice looking headboard. Connie

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.

no; it is just the bed. You can put a regular mattress on this, and also a foam mattress, but only if you put a more solid platform on the frame.

I believe it is considered a platform bed, but you do not need a box spring. I don't use a box spring and it's perfect. You could use a box spring, but the bed would be kind of high then. I LOVE this bed frame and everyone who comes over and sees it wants to get their own! The only thing I'm not sure about, it's just been me sleeping in the bed. I am a little nervous about if it's strong enough to hold two ppl, but I have read the other reviews that say it's fine for two ppl!

No. It's just the mattress. It's supposedly suitable for sleeping on a platform bed without using a box spring. ( or a bed frame with proper supports all the way across, not the kind with just rails ). Although it's shown on top of a box spring, they describe it as not needing one if you don't have one, as long as the frame you put it on has enough support across it. ( such as the Pragma bed frames that are foldable and have wire mesh all the way across the frame. )

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.

As long as you have a foundation. This is not a platform bed, the slats are made to support a boxspring, not act as one.

You certainly need some type of support structure. If you have a platform bed, then you do not need a box spring. If you only have a frame, you need a support structure, the most common being a box spring. I mean you could use a piece of plywood provided there was enough support. Personally, I bought a box spring and a frame.

It needs to be sandwiched securely since it comes in 2 pieces. I don't think it will work on a platform bed unless the bed portion is completely flat and solid.

It did not come with one as it appears this unit is intended only to be a platform bed which normally I've not seen with any headboard. If the company has one I have not seen one available for purchase, but you could try contacting them to ask before purchasing this unit.

Yes but you do need something like a platform bed to put it on. It won't sit in like the regular metal frame by itself that you use with a matress and a box spring.

No, it is particle board. Very nice looking in appearance but poor quality. Really regret purchasing it.

It needs to be attached to metal bed rails. I am not sure of the construction design of a platform bed.

I use this mattress on a platform bed. The foundation on my bed is wood. I love my mattress.

No, the bed comes exactly as shown in picture. Not sure why it says 4 side rails. The top bunk has them on both sides but not the bottom.
