No the wooden slats that come from the bed are sufficient enough. In fact if u use a box spring then the mattress will be too high.

The be has strips of wood to support the mattress. You will need a bunk board of piece of wood to hold that type of mattress.

You may need a thin piece of wood to put under matters just so it does not sink thru the slats. The slats are aboit 6 inches apart all across the bottome.

You will need to support your mattress, with either box springs, or a box. A box looks like a box spring, but it is no more than a spacer / mattress support ...

I bought a rather thick mattress but no boxsprings because I wanted comfort. It wasn't the cheapest nor was it the most expensive, I guess middle of the road. I also put pillows on the backside.

No box spring needed...we just put our son's memory foam mattress on the wooden slats. I would like to add that the bed frame sits about 12 inches off the floor so a box spring and mattress would make the bed very high.

For best results, a flat platform frame or foundation is needed. We have used box springs on a standard metal frame with memory foam and were happier once we switched to a platform type frame with the mattress directly on top of it. We have this mattress directly on a wooden bunk bed frame and it is great!

No, but you do need something flat. They make frames designed to support a memory foam mattress. Here's an example: Handy Living Queen Wood Slat Bed Frame There are many types, the important thing is that it offers enough support without being solid. The bottom of the mattress needs to breathe.

Hello Mr JohnIt does not come with a boxspring. However, I bought the "DynastyMatttress 8" Queen Size Wood Box Foundation for memory foam,..." And by the way, it is the best Matress I have ever had. Also, have in mind that I bought the queen size matress. Regards

No you don't need a box spring unless you just like your mattress to sit really high. I have a memory foam mattress and I thought I would sink right through because I don't have a box spring but the frame alone was very supportive.

We didn't buy box springs. You don't need them bc they have slats and box springs would make them too high. The mattresses were standard twin. I hope that helps. The bed is a good sturdy one that can fit easily if space is limited.

If memory serves, their larger beds have a large, elevated beam running down the middle, annyway. So, six_one, half dozen the other... W/a memory foam bed, I doubt you'd feel much of a bump in the middle. Another reason to never buy another box spring mattress.

It is only the "top" mattress with a nice mattress protector no boxspring or frame included; memory foam needs a solid base so no boxsring, put plywood or solid slats on frame or between mattress and boxspring if using one

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.

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.

the memory foam mattress is 12 inch high and probably will make your bed quite high to get into. We didn't use a boxspring with ours and you certainly don't need one with this mattress, it just your personal height preference that you like for a bed. One of the responders stated that it will void the warranty, which is not quite true, the warranty states that the foundation must be even or flat which I would assume your boxspring would be.

No! I have a really thick memory foam mattress on mine and it fits perfectly. No box spring needed!

It supposed to replace the boxspring and you can use a regular mattress. It doesn't really work with a memory foam mattress bc the memory foam squeezes through the wires.

I wouldn't think so. Memory foam mattresses generally either need a platform base or a special box spring. Do not try and use a traditional box spring with a memory foam mattress as you will not get the full support of the mattress. I tried for a month using a standard box spring then switched to a memory foam box spring and there is a definite difference, slept much better on the special box spring.
