Do you need a box spring with this or just a bed frame?

You will either need a platform frame or a box spring. The mattress may be firm, but it needs a solid base otherwise the weight of a body will push it right through an open frame. It's firm, but not rigid.

The bed comes with the bed frame, but not a box spring. Usually the box spring is purchased with the mattress.

The mattress does not require a box spring, but I have a bed frame which is designed to work without a box spring. If the bed frame is designed to use a box spring, then you will need a box spring. This is because a box spring bed frame will not 1) have the 12 - 15 lateral support bars the mattress requires, and 2) mount the bottom of the foam mattress about 18 inches from the floor.

Yes, you need a box spring this is not a platform bed just a frame. This also sits very close to the floor but with the box spring our bed is a perfect height.

Yes, you need a box spring. It only comes as headboard, footboard, and the frame. It's very nice. We're extremely happy with it.

The frame requires a box spring BUT we bought a mattress that came with a metal frame that fit inside the bed frame perfectly!

It depends on what kind of bed fame you are use so you might need a box spring.

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!

It depends on what surface you will be placing it. It requires a solid surface. We used a plywood base. If you are putting it onto a standard bed frame, you will need some type of box spring.

There is really no reason to use a box spring at all. There are slats that go across the bed frame and that is all you need. If you did use a box spring, you would be rather high and your mattress might slide off trying to get in and out of bed.

No, you do not need a box spring. I have my mattress on a plain plywood board, and it works great.

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

The bed frame don't have the support to hold a box spring so the box spring will move a around on you when you lay it on the frame. So my opinion would be just to uses it with just a mattress. But I love the bed frame.

You don't need a box spring. The foam mattress is awesome & the frame has the wooden slats! Great bed!

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.

Yes, its the frame as well as bars that support the mattress. You would not use a box spring with this bed frame, just a mattress.
