Do I need a foudation (box spring) with this mattress?

I use a frame for it. But I do not think it is necessary to add on a foundation. The bottom of this mattress is quite firm, and the top is comfortable-soft.

I had a platform base so I did not need a box spring. The mattress is very comfortable!

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.

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.

No, this bed doesn't need a box spring. The surface that the mattress rests on is solid wood (not slats or springs like some beds) so a box spring isn't necessary. You could probably use on if you wanted , but it's not needed.

I do not believe you need a box spring. I have the matress on a Bunkie Board in a bunk bed.

No it doesn't come with a mattress and you do not need a box spring. Without it, it does sit low to the ground.

This mattress is very sturdy and heavy, so I purchased a metal pedestal for it and it's perfect for this this mattress. If you asking, do you need a box spring my answer is no... Bear in mind that this mattress is very firm. My wife is not enjoying it as much as I am. If you are looking for a firm mattress then this one is great...

This mattress only require a flat and secure foundation. This includes a traditional box spring, a slatted bed frame, or even the floor-just as long as it is resting on a flat and secure area.

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.

You could... but this mattress doesn't need a box spring anyways. I bought a fold up bed frame that you put the mattress on. It only cost like $59.00 and takes a couple of minutes to set up, its light weight and sits up about a foot high so you can store things under the bed. It would look a lot nicer than sleeping directly on the floor. Stay cleaner too.

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.

you won't need the box spring but I did get a cut piece of plywood under the mattress to firm up the top and foot ends.I just love mine

Yes you can use a regular mattress and absolutely no box spring necessary. I use a 12 inch foam mattress from Costco and its the best sleep I've had. Save yourself a lot of money.

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!!!

I honestly don't think a box spring is necessary, even though the slats are suprisingly sturdy and fit well and secure in the base of the bed. I actually bought this frame because I wanted a bed withouth a box spring. Hope that helps!
