What kind of platform is suitable for this bed? Now I have a mattress over box spring and I would like to put the DreamFoam on the box spring?

I would say any platform is suitable really... We used this mattress for our camper. The mattress is laying over wood and is still comfortable. The box spring will be just fine!

I put this in my RV and I love it. But it's a short mattress I don't know how well it would work over a normal length box spring. That could be a problem.

I think this would work but I am not 100% sure. We bought ours for our RV. The base (platform) is wood. It feels like your are sleeping on a regular bed. I saw other reviews that said they used it in their guest bedrooms and it was great so I am assuming they put it on the box springs as well. Hope this helps.

We use ours in our RV and it's just on a plywood frame that's typical in RV's, but it would be just fine on a box spring or any other firm or semi firm platform. This is a wonderful mattress and worth the money we spent on it. Both my wife and I sleep like a baby when we're camping now.

Mine is in my camper and it has a plywood platform. I would use this mattress on a box spring as well though.

eI current have the mattress on a platform but it is suitable for either. I do like the mattress, very comfortable.

Any platform will work, same as any other mattress. Like many others, we are using it in our RV. It is very comfortable.

I have our dream foam on a wood platform but I see no reason why a box spring wouldn't work.

This will ONLY work WITH a boxspring. This is not a platform bed.. It just looks like one :) I have a boxspring and it's perfect

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.

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.

Not sure we had a box spring we just put it on top of that. No problems. It is a good mattress.

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.

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

I purchased the following support fairly inexpensively (wood frame, not box spring.): DynastyMattress 8-INCH Thick Wood Box. It works very well. You could cut yourself a sheet of plywood to fit, instead. You need something flat and supportive for the mattress. This is a VERY well made bed, especially for the price. I bought two. Had to go to the hardware store to replace one screw that had a thread problem. Easy.

You wouldn't want to place a box spring on top of the frame. The frame has slats that connect from the middle board to the frame which strengthens the frame all over. Also, the slats are purposely bowed upward just a little to allow for flex. My mattress comes up out of the frame and it's 8". With a box spring it would be super high. I got the queen and got a memory foam mattress. A regular mattress would suffice as well. Hope this helps!

foam mattresses should be placed on a flat surface such as plywood or a platform bed. it is better NOT to use a box spring.

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.

I did so with the memory foam mattress I purchased for my daughter's bed without problem. Mine is on a platform foundation. Realize that the box spring configuration is less firm. I have no idea about the long term effects of putting one on a box spring. My daughter loves hers.

You can try...I had to re-enforce the middle support. it was cheap and flimsy and honestly broke within days. I think it would look a little funky to have the box spring under the mattress on this bed. it's made to be used without a box spring.

As a platform bed, my mattress only has cushioning on one side. The other has a wood frame which rests on the platform. Any mattress would probably be fine, as the box spring would support the mattress over the platform feature.

Platform style beds are the best. But i kep my boxspring from my old bed and set the ned mattress ontop. I was 4+ feet in the air

It's made for a box spring and mattress, but you could use any type of platform under your mattress. Just be aware that if your platform and mattress will be substantially lower than a regular box spring and mattress would be that you should contact us at 1-866-753-8001 so we can adjust some of the measurements to fit your needs. Since our beds are custom built, making a few adjustments is normally not a big deal.

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!
