Reading comments most say it's heavy. Does it require any special mounting box to support the weight? Don't want the thing crashing down on my bed!

No, I do not believe it's heavy enough to come crashing down, although you can't just hang this straight to drywall. Hope this was helpful good luck and God bless

It is heavy. But, ( keeping in mind I'm not a liscensed contractor) we just put it up normally and it seems perfectly sturdy. I'm not worried it will fall. There is a support chain that secures the weight.

We have the queen size bed and it is very sturdy and heavy once the mattress is in place..... We have not experienced any movement whatsoever. The wood slats below the mattress support the frame and mattress. Because there is no box spring needed with these types of bed we suggest a very good mattress and a reasonably firm one.

We have it on my daughter's bunkbed with no box spring and it is still very firm! You don't necessarily need a box spring, but some sort of platform would help or it would be very low to the ground...(only 5-6 inches in height).

A box spring is optional (not necessary). Bed comes with a slat support system. Thanks, ModHaus

I can't tell you how heavy it is. It would require some strong anchors, I guess. It doesn't take up much floor space as it is.

Not a lot. Maybe a couple of pounds. Mounting has more to do with stability than with supporting a lot of weight.

I'm using it with just a platform bed..no box spring. It's incredibly comfy and it is so much fun to release it. My only advice it is to do it in the room where it will wind up.

My twin bed has a headboard that I think gives the bed more weight. I don't sit at the end of the bed only on the side. Ive had no problems with the frame or tipping.

It is quite heavy. At least I cannot lift the package by myself. The crystals account for a lot of the weight. An electrician installed it for me. I believe he used a normal junction box.

It depends on what you are wanting it for. If you need it to support weight of someone using it to get out of bed, then it needs to be secured with the straps. There are rails that extend pretty far underneath the mattress for stability, but if one were pushing on it, it would move some if it wasn't secured with straps. The weight of the mattress also makes a difference in how secure it would be. I'm actually using mine on an upper bunk in our RV, so I cannot use the straps. However, we don't put any pressure on it.

Yes, it seems like not but you really need it, there are 4 horizontal slats, which means insufficient support, it looks terrible with a box so I recommend you to buy more slats if you get it, otherwise forget it

You should definitely have a base for it we put it on a bed frame with storage underneath so we didn't need the box spring but if you don't have a sturdy bed frame then I would recommend a box spring.I really hope this helps!

It needs some support. We have it in a RV which is on a closed in wooden box that has storage underneath. We don't have a box spring under it and it's quite comfortable. But it would slip down through just a metal frame.

Bulky yes, heavy no. Just keep in mind you may need someone to help you hang it up when placing it.

I would definetly not use a a regular box spring. you need a completely flat serface like a couple sheets of ply wood on top of your favorite bed set. its a great matress if you havnt picked it up already and worth way more then what you pay for it. extremely pleased

Mine has the bed pushed against it holding it in place. It is not attached. If you are putting the bed there it is a heavy bed and should hold. They recommend and give screws to hold it. Not gonna stay in place without the bed.

I used a box spring for this. If you choose not to use a box spring, you would need to get something to support the mattress. Also, in my opinion, the headboard/footboard would look too high because the mattress would be so low. Hope this helps!
