Can this mattress (king sz) be placed over box springs? I don't have a platform & think it might be too low on a platform (bed spread would drag on the floor?).

Hello, Yes I have it placed on top of a set of Sterns & Foster Box springs. Best buy on a mattress I ever received! Very Firm though , so beware if you do not like firm.....

I would think so. I have mine on a metal platform because I put storage bins under it.

First I want to say I really love this mattress. I have a bad back and it gives the support I need.I bought this mattress and I also bought a metal frame from Amazon. with the frame, the box springs on top of the frame and then the mattress it works perfectly. To answer your question if you use a queen size bed spread on your king size bed it probably won't drag. But a king size bedspread would definitely drag. you can measure from the floor across your box spring to the floor on the opposite end and add 16 inches (side to side and top to bottom 16 inches to both).then search for a spread that has those dimensions.

would likw to know this also, I put it on top of my mattress, it makes the bed very high, but is extremely comfortable. I have no box spring, just the frame, as this is a craftmatic bed. Please let me know what you think as well.

I bought this for my daughter and she has a queen sleep number bed. It fits nicely on her platform bed, it won't hang down much on a normal bed with box springs. I doubt it would cover the box springs 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!! :)

I just used a mattress - a thicker memory foam one. I don't think there is room for both box springs and a mattress.

Hi, I like a really high mattress do you think I can use a box spring and matress?Will it hold the excess weight of the box spring? Thank you for your help!

Wow, that sounds like a nice idea, but I'm really not sure. The mattress fits exactly on top of this platform so the platform might slip down inside the frame like a box spring would, but you might have to remove any hardware on the inside of the wooden frame that is built to hold the box spring in place because this hardware will interfere with the metal platform as it has legs to rest on the floor. I would check on the return policy and give it a try because this platform is a brilliant alternative to a box spring. It was easy to set up and way comfortable.

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.

you can but i wouldnt suggest it, you will hear the wood hitting the wood and its going to be to high. not good. Box springs in the cost of mattress sets are very inexpensive, maybe see if they would let you take the boxspring back possible or try it and see what you think. Those are my thoughts. Hope all this helps. If noe of this works i have hundreds of others beds for sale, hows that on our full site. 6102773747 Good luck. Linda

Not at all. I put my mattress in a bedbug cover and laid down a skirt for the frame, popped the bed right on top. I even got under the frame with my wife laying on the bed to check if a box spring could prove beneficial and it would probably make the bed sag if you were to use one. The support of the frame is phenomenal, and no box spring would be better. Not to mention you'd need to jump to get into bed with one, the platform is pretty high, and if you use a deep mattress your already pretty high off the ground.

I suppose you could though the platform bed is designed to support just the mattress. I put a memory foam mattress on mine but it set too low. I put a base under it and it fit perfect. I'm certain a box spring would as well.

I suppose you could put a boxspring on top of it, as long as the boxspring and the mattress did not slide around each other. The way it's designed though, you don't need a boxspring. The boards/slats have some flexibility. Mine is very comfortable with just a mattress.

Personally I would not try this. I had difficulty encasing the mattress and the zipper ripped. Now knowing how fragile the cover is I don't think it is a good idea to try to stretch it over a box spring .

I have this mattress on a metal platform instead of boxspring and it works fine. Keep in mind this mattress is REALLY heavy :(

You should be fine. We actually placed ours on a standard box spring as well. Simply the best money ever spent on a mattress! Enjoy

No, due to the height of the rails. The rails are not tall enough for both a mattress and box spring, the mattress would slide right off due to not being contained by the rails. But the bed frame is made to not need a box spring at all, which is how I use it with no problems.

This cover only goes over the mattress. I haven't found a need for one to go over my box spring at this time.
