As this bed is labeled a "platform" bed, I am assuming it has slats and does not require a box spring. Is that correct?

No, it does require box springs. There are only three slats that comes with it and your mattress will droop between the slats. Also, the mattress is approx the same height as the footboard/siderails so you would be sitting on the footboard/sideboard not the bed.

It does not require the box spring. But if you do the bed will be very high

No. It's just the mattress. It's supposedly suitable for sleeping on a platform bed without using a box spring. ( or a bed frame with proper supports all the way across, not the kind with just rails ). Although it's shown on top of a box spring, they describe it as not needing one if you don't have one, as long as the frame you put it on has enough support across it. ( such as the Pragma bed frames that are foldable and have wire mesh all the way across the frame. )

The slats included are curved (the ones that support bed) we don't have a box spring on ours but it is a thick matress with no problems. If yours is 8", that is really a thin bed, I would prob ably get a box

No you do not need a box spring. It came with slats underneath. We added a few wooden blocks just to make it extra secure and a pretty thick mattress on the full bed.

We used a bed with a slat base and no box spring. It works well. We did not want to buy a box spring for this guest room.

You are correct. My daughter has this bed and it does not require a box spring. We love it!! Very easy to assemble.

It does require a box spring. Although you could easily make it a platform bed by laying down a sheet of plywood ontop of the, included slats.

If you have a platform bed with adequate slats, you do not need anything else. If you have a normal bed frame, you definitely need a box spring.

You certainly need some type of support structure. If you have a platform bed, then you do not need a box spring. If you only have a frame, you need a support structure, the most common being a box spring. I mean you could use a piece of plywood provided there was enough support. Personally, I bought a box spring and a frame.

The picture you see is without a box spring. The frame has curved wooden slats on the bottom that act as a box spring.

If you don't use a box spring, you need to buy slats for the bed frame which is what I did

There are no slats required. It has a heavy steel wire mesh that you set the mattress on. It does not require box springs. I bought it for my guest room and simply put a nice nine inch thick mattress on it, and it is quite comfortable.

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.

No it is not on a platform. No it does not have box springs. You are only getting the memory foam mattress.
