It's not a complete mattress, just a two inch foam topper to put on top of a mattress.

Jimmy, it's not a mattress, it's a mattress topper....and do NOT buy this thing, it is the worst purchase I ever made on Amazon. The thing has a TERRIBLE chemical smell that did not go away after I aired it outside for THREE days, and I threw it away without even trying to return it for a refund. I seriously doubt that it would work for a 270 pound man, either (I'm 230), and certainly not if you intend to try it by merely placing it on the floor without a box spring under it.

It's just a topper. We put it on top of our actual mattress. It works for us just fine. Our combined weight is more than 270. I'd suggest trying a thicker topper if you want to put it on the floor.

You don't use a box spring with it. The slats act as a box spring so you just put on a mattress only. My son is 4 and has been using this bed for a year now and it's perfect for him. We haven't had any problems. We got a nice mattress and I think it's more comfortable than our bed. My husband and I both lay on it with him to read stories and it holds the weight just fine. Hope that helps!

I would say yes. Very comfortable mattress. Im 330 lbs and I use it in my man cave in a loft bed I built with no box spring. I love it.

You do not need a mattress. We have our king on a platform bed. But I have a friend who bought hers, on my recommendation, and she uses a box spring, so it can be used either way.

As long as the mattress is not super thin it will be fine. It has slats for support so there is no need for box springs other than height.

This is like a memory foam mattress. I have it on a platform bed frame all by itself with no box spring.

The beauty of this bed is that is does not need a box spring. It is a platform bed. I did not use a box spring but i would think that you could if you wanted to .

My son is using his mattress in his dorm room with a plywood base kind of like a bunk bed. He is 5' 10" and about 173ish and finds the mattress to be very comfortable without a box spring. I hope this helped

You do not need a box spring. It is extremely comfortable based on memory foam. You do need a bed frame for support. I do not have a box spring but do use a wire frame which I also ordered from Amazon. Enjoy!.

I have the Queen version and it's fine without a box spring if you have a decent mattress.It's very light and easy to set up and pretty comfortable in our guest room

Hi, the bed is very flexible without a box spring. as soon as i sit on the edge of it, it sinks with my weight . i just tried to prop and bend the top, and was not succesful. It is just so thick

No, you will need to buy a twin size mattress for it. No box spring needed.

I just used a mattress - a thicker memory foam one. I don't think there is room for both box springs and a mattress.

You do not need a box spring. The floor of the bed is very stable with about 10 bars across.

i dont know the weight limit but i can tell you is that i have a queen size mattress on it woth out the box spring because if i put the box spring underneath the mattress the mattress becomes so high so i decided to take it off the box spring i mean

Absolutely! I bought a memory foam mattress (can't remember the brand) and it is very comfortable without a box spring. I really like the platform.
