Do I need to have a boxspring with this bed?

No, you don't need boxsprings. And if you want the mattress to fit very snuggly, you might want to buy the longer twin mattress.

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

Correct, no box spring required. We've had this bed for years now and have had 3 different mattresses on it with no problems at all (some made for bunk beds and some not). Great bed!!

The bed is the frame. If you are asking about a box spring, yes, this bed requires a box spring. We bought a low-profile box spring but you can easily use a regular one and it still won't cover up the headboard. There is only a 5 inch difference in a regular box spring and a low-profile.

The headboard attaches to the bed frame, which is not supplied with the headboard. If you have one of those new taller bed frames, you wouldn't need a box spring, but if you have the older and more traditional short bed frames, then a box spring is required.

You need only Platform frame. No need for boxspring unless you want to make it too high.

No it doesn't come with a boxspring. It's just a mattress. I've put mine on a slatted bedframe from Ikea(similar to a platform bed) and it seems to work just fine that way.

You need something because the mattress will sink between the slats. A box spring will set the mattress way to high for the bed design though. I just flattened the box after I unpacked the bed pieces, and laid it over the slats. Worked perfect!

There is no bed frame with this headboard you must provide your own. Yes, you will need a box spring.

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

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.

No box spring needed. Use a reg twin mattress on both girls beds. Had them over a year now they are great! Very comphy

You first need a bed frame but yes you need a box spring, you only get the head and foot board of this bed and it comes in pieces that you have to assemble.

Yes a box spring is needed. The foundation are slats which would be placed too far apart for just a mattress. Also the bed would be super low with no box spring

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 have this bed in my guest bedroom without the boxspring and its perfect. I am truly happy with this bed. The mattress has not sagged and its not damaged.

No. The bed needs a box spring and matress set. I really like the bed. Iti's quiet and sturdy, besides being lovely to look at.
