Yes, the matching prepac bed is a platform bed that has drawers underneath wooden slats, and the mattress sits right on top of the slats.

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.

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.

This bed is really made as a platform. So technically you don't need the box spring. We just have the mattress. You "technically" could put the box spring but I think the bed will be way too high. You may need a step to get into the bed with both. Hope this helps.

You do not need a box spring. i simply went to Lowes and had them cut a few pieces of wood and used that instead. It worked well as a platform bed which was not too high for my 5 year old. Hope that helps.

No. You would need something with a solid platform in order to bypass a box spring. A bed 'frame' is not a platform.

If the platform bed is on a metal bed frame, but I tend to think platform beds are on a flat wooden frame, so no. It will probably not be compatible.

It is a really tall bed, so no, I wouldn't use a box spring, or you'll have to literally climb into bed.. It's not necessary, either, as there are wood support slats to hold up the mattress.

I guess you can but we do not. We put this on an old waterbed frame (like a platform). Just have the mattress on, no box spring.

I have it on a platform type bed with only a mattress, no box springs. There's a strap that comes with it that normally goes around a box spring, but I just put it around the slats or for you, where your springs would be. Worked for me.Hope this helps :)

My frame did not come with a box spring. It doesn't have much support, just enough to hold the mattress. In short yes.

That should work, although this mattress doesn't need the box springs. A platform, such as plywood, works fine.

It doesn't need a box spring, I bought a platform bed frame for mine and it's fine. If you put it on a box spring you're going to need a ladder to get into bed, depending on frame height. Technically it doesn't need anything under it if it's inside a bed frame.

No, not unless you put a piece of plywood on it first. Also, without a box spring your mattress would be really close to the floor.

On a platform bed you would be fine without a box spring, but on a regular bed you need a support system (either a box spring or a slat platform). I would suggest something thick enough that your mattress is slightly above your bed rails to avoid busted knuckles when making up the bed!

I used the box spring already on my bed. I would not recommend using no box spring at all.

Yes you could put it on a box spring, but we had ours on a platform bed. It's a very sturdy mattress. :) very comfortable!! :)
