do you need a box spring or foundation besides a bed frame for this mattress??

If you have a platform bed with adequate slats, you do not need anything else. If you have a normal bed frame, you definitely need a box spring.

We are using it as the mattress for our trundle bed and there is no box spring needed.

Honestly, i could only afford to get the mattress and i have it on the floor and its still very comfortable.

Uh, I got it for my son who, has a day bed / toddler bed and the only thing under the mattress is ply board. It's pretty thick and comfortable, I've laid down on it and its pretty good comfort wise on its own.

Its really thin. I just got a cheap bed frame, but I want to add another topper because it is so thin.

I have it on a platform bed and it is great, so you will not need a box spring, as long as it have support (platform, slats or even a sheet of plywood if you are using a traditional bed frame).

I would say use a box spring. However on my 6" memory I put wood slats(1x4) on my wood bed frame with a 3" space in between each slat. And I did not use a box spring... It depends on how high you want your bed to be. So... You either have to use the box spring or additional slats.

No box spring is necessary if you have enough bed slates. My bed frame has about 20 wooden curved slats so I do not use a box spring. On a typical bed frame that only has 3 or 4 supports, you most definitely would need something. There is also the option of using a platform bed frame which is a solid board.

For best results, a flat platform frame or foundation is needed. We have used box springs on a standard metal frame with memory foam and were happier once we switched to a platform type frame with the mattress directly on top of it. We have this mattress directly on a wooden bunk bed frame and it is great!

Yes you would need a foundation of some sort. I personally purchased an adjustable base and it works great. I demoed a few other high end mattresses before this, and I can say this is great.

You will need a box spring. The 4 or 5 thin slats are not enough to support a mattress. Otherwise a great bed. Easy to put together. Looks more expensive than it is.

When I bought this mattress I also bought Sleep Master Platform Metal Bed Frame/Mattress Foundation, Queen. This provides a nice foundation for the mattress, the mattress and frame are very light and easy to move, and there is storage space underneath the frame. If you have a standard frame built to take a box spring then you made need a box spring or lay some plywood on the frame first. But I just went for the mattress/Sleep Master frame combo. For $400 what the heck. I'm very happy with it.

U need a box spring or solid base. It's a great mattress but u still need support under it.

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

No, you will need to buy a twin size mattress for it. No box spring needed.

No you don't need a box spring unless you just like your mattress to sit really high. I have a memory foam mattress and I thought I would sink right through because I don't have a box spring but the frame alone was very supportive.

You can use the foam mattress. But if by "foundation" you mean a box spring, you do not need this because the bed acts as its own foundation and a rigid box spring would prevent the mattress from flexing and defeat the purpose of this bed's adjustability.

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, you do not need a box spring. I have my mattress on a plain plywood board, and it works great.

U need the frame. Although the box spring & mattress are tall enough without it.

The need for a box spring depends on the type of bed frame you have. My bed frame has the bars across from top to bottom to support the mattress so I don't use a box spring, however I do use a Mattress Support folding bed board to give my mattress extra support. With the mattress support boards it is a very comfortable mattress!!!

You don't need/use a box spring with this bed. But yes, a regular mattress is all you need.

You don't need a box spring. I bought a box spring before I got the bed. Now my mattress sits at what feels like 4 feet high. The bed comes with slats to make up for the box spring.
