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 would think it would be able to be used with a platform bed with no box spring. it depends on the setup of your platform bed. there is an opening from the floor up to approximately 16.5" from the ground where hopefully your platform bed would be able to block the opening so then that way only the upper part of the wood frame and shelf would show.

If you have a platform bed I would say no. We use it on my sons bed & it's a platform. It is still in great shape & I've slept on it with him & it's comfortable.

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!

You have to use a boxspring with this bed. However I hacked it by going to Home Depot and buying planks that I could lay down in order to turn it into a platform bed.

I have a platform bed so I don't use anything under it. I'm sure a traditional box spring would work.

I would assume that you can though it is a platform bed so a box spring is unneeded. That said I can't imagine how using a box spring would do any damage though it may not look very good as your box spring would be exposed unless you have a giant fitted sheet or some type of skirt

Hi, if the platform bed has metal bars or wooden slats/boards that are very strong, then you do not need a box spring, just the mattress will seat there. I have mine on an LL Bean platform bed that also has a center support beam. The King size platform bed has two support beams. I've read that some people add a cut to size, plywood board on top of the slats for extra support because they think that the platform will sag over time, especially with the weight of two people. I hope this helps.

You can use a box spring if you want a higher bed or a platform with wooden slats or a bunkie board (usually used for bunk beds) for a lower profile. I purchased a wire grid bed frame threw a bed skirt on it and you'd never know!

No you dont you need a platform bed frame. We bought one from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001GQ87NY/ref=ya_aw_oh_pit

The platform bed doesn't come with a mattress it is just the platform frame. If you want a mattress and box springs this isn't the way to go . Hioenthis helps.

Well! My daughter has a platform bed and am able to use it. It is easy to set up and take down in any case. Hope I was helpful.

I would not recommend a box spring for this platform bed set. I have been using this set with a mattress only (Signature Sleep Contour 8-Inch Mattress, Queen ) and it works beautifully!

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 believe it is considered a platform bed, but you do not need a box spring. I don't use a box spring and it's perfect. You could use a box spring, but the bed would be kind of high then. I LOVE this bed frame and everyone who comes over and sees it wants to get their own! The only thing I'm not sure about, it's just been me sleeping in the bed. I am a little nervous about if it's strong enough to hold two ppl, but I have read the other reviews that say it's fine for two ppl!

You can add a box spring but you bed will be very tall. You will need a step stool. I only use a mattress.

Yes but you do need something like a platform bed to put it on. It won't sit in like the regular metal frame by itself that you use with a matress and a box spring.

I would imagine it could be used with a platform bed. It has two metal pieces that extend off from the legs that bolts to the bed frame. So I would say yes to answer your question but I can't say for a fact as I have a standard queen sized bed on a normal frame.
