Has anyone used this bed with a box spring and mattress?

I believe that you could use both a box spring and mattress with this bed frame if you wanted too. It would make the bed much higher though and the only consideration would be that the frame could support the weight. This type of bed is usually made for just a mattress which avoids the need for a box spring because of the supporting slats on the frame which is what I was looking for. With a good firm mattress like we have it is just as supportive as one with a box spring and we don't have the extra cost for one like we would have with the standard bed. I find that with just the mattress it is easier to make up the bed and turn the mattress occasional as it is suggested. I love this bed frame.........it is also high enough to store items under it in storage bags or they even make bed "drawers" that slide under the frame.

The frame is actually quite high as it is, so I wouldn't recommend using a box spring.

I was one of the "one-star" reviewers, so I wouldn't recommend this bed at all. But its very tall even with just a mattress on it, since the slats are not sunken down below the rails of the bed. Be advised, this bed frame itself can't even be slid across a carpeted floor without breaking. Its hardly no match for a mattress by itself, so I can't imagine it would hold up with the weight of a box spring also.

I did not, but you definitely could. The added box spring would just make the bed very tall.

I don't have a twin, I have a Queen but yes, you will need a box spring. Otherwise the mattress will sit much too low.

The bed comes with easy to read instruction,need another person to help you to assemble it. amazon has a very reasonable price for this bed. I do recomend this bed,you dont need a box spring.

I tried with out a box spring but it was sinking inward without it. After getting the box spring i haven't had any issues.

Hi, you sure can se a box spring with this bed. Just keep in mind that we suggest a maximum weight of 500 pounds on it to last long. Thank you so much!

Hey I own this bed, and you do not need a box spring, it is made for use with just a memory foam mattress

Yes, its the frame as well as bars that support the mattress. You would not use a box spring with this bed frame, just a mattress.

Yes--we do not use a box spring--the wooden slats are intentionally bowed, to give flexibility, but slightly flimsy (we needed to use small pieces of cardboard to keep them in place--was not hard to do) but we are happy with the looks and durability of the bed.

I purchased a nice memory foam mattress with no box springs. It works just fine and is a very nice bed. It did come a little scuffed up from shipping but I didnt want the hassle of sending it back. It does come with support slats which are wood. They look flimsy, but surprisingly not at all.

Yes you can put a box spring but i'm just using it without a box spring and it look good so I would say that it would look good with a box spring so give it a try.I like my metal bed frame.

yes Bonnie you can use your box spring with this mattress, but it will make your bed higher than a regular one ! I like mine that way , enjoy !

No box spring needed. I bought one and the bed fit perfectly. the box spring might make the mattress to high

We did but I had to go to Home Depot and buy some 2 by 4s to put the things that go under the mattress on. It's not ideal but it's doing the trick. It would work best with a bed with a box spring.

The only drawback to using both the box spring and mattress is that the decorative head and footboards would not be seen. Other than that, they should fit. However, I am an average size adult and I sleep comfortably on this bed with only a mattress.

I wouldn't recommend doing that. It's a good bed but I just have a mattress on and I can't imagine the slats supporting a box spring and a mattress

I have a boxspring with it. because there are slats and not a platform, I do not think a mattress alone would work very well. Great bed - looks beautiful and appears way more expensive then it is. I highly recommend it.

I only use a mattress with this bed. I think using a box spring also would make it feel too high. I think it is made to use with just a mattress and no box spring.
