Is anyone using a box spring with this frame?

I agree with everyone else however I have not had a problem with it becoming loose.

No box spring needed...we just put our son's memory foam mattress on the wooden slats. I would like to add that the bed frame sits about 12 inches off the floor so a box spring and mattress would make the bed very high.

Personally, I wouldn't. The bed became loose after a few years (the bed was used by a 100lb girl), we fixed that, but I think a box spring would add unnecessary weight. Also, like someone else stated, with a box spring, the bed would be very tall.

No I didn't get a box spring. I did purchase a frame and put a thick board on it to give the mattress support and it has been slept on by several people who say they love it. Be sure yu get the right size frame as the one I purchased was a little short and the mattress hangs over the end but with the board the same length as the mattress its ok.

Yes, however these frames do not come with the brackets to keep the box spring in place. You have to purchase them separately.

We used the box spring without the wood slats . We are purity hard on the bed with the kids jumping up on it. The frame is really strong..

I actually have a cali king mattress and it feels fine without a box spring. I haven't had any issues with the support from the frame itself.

My box springs sits on both the frame and cross support beams. With the box spring and mattererss both on it is even with the footboard.

We bought the frame and all, we also kept our box spring and placed it on top. It moves around and we have to slide the Heavy thing around without moving the box spring. (Can't be done, so we fuss over the thing once a week.)

You do not use a box spring with this bed. It would make the mattress too high. There are round metal rods that support the mattress. You need a mattress and that is it. I did place a thin board atop the metal rods to keep the shape of the mattress, but the board is not necessary.

I do use a box spring but one is probably not required as long as you have something flat to sit the mattress on.

We have been using ours with a low profile box spring since april and so far there has been zero problems! The bed is holding up great and we couldn't be happier with it! One word of advice, if you want to see the headboard at all on this thing, don't use a standard box spring! We have a very short low profile box spring and we can barely see the headboard, and that was a big reason we liked this frame so much! Lol.

Hi, I did not use a spring box, instead I used a support box. Hope this helps.

Not quite sure, but i can tell you that i was pretty surprised that the frame seems to be well made. It does not need a box spring and it has metal bars that go across the entire center of frame. Very sturdy.. i love this frame and for the price you can't go wrong. Only complaint is that if you lean over one side of the bed the matress slides, mine has a few inches of frame sticking out on each side so it can lead to some bruised shins!But mine is a king...

I used a mattress and box spring for my son with this bed frame. It works well, you just don't see as much of the headboard.

I have a box spring on this frame and the only issue I have is that the box spring moves around easily if you try to move your mattress, etc. We are going to solve that by putting screws through the frame into the box spring.

Hi Kerri, I would not suggest using a box spring with this bed. It would be too high. It's an awesome bed btw. Easy to assemble.

I don't have a box spring. I just have the mattress on a platform bed. I don't have any problems, it's a heavy mattress and so comfortable!

No, we don't use one. I believe it is made to be used without a box spring. The slat supports seem well made, stable, and supportive.
