does this need a boxspring underneath it?

You do NOT need a boxspring underneath it, just a platform. You can't just place the mattress on a bedframe, it will fall through, unless you created some sort of platform with a lot of slats or something. We purchased a metal platform from Amazon that works great with this mattress, or you can purchase them as a set. The platform looks kinda flimsy but it is sturdy enough to hold me and my husband. Together we weight about 450 pounds. The memory foam is great! You never feel the platform and it resumes it's shape quickly when rolling over. We highly recommend this mattress.

No, a frame and/or boxspring, if needed must be purchased separately. However, this is a great mattress at a very reasonable price. We just replaced our mattress as there was nothing wrong with our boxspring.

Depends on how you want it to look. In the picture it doesn't look like they used one. But I have a boxspring.

No, you don't have to but it is not needed. I have never used a box spring with mine.

No box spring is needed. Ours is sitting on plywood and is still very comfortable.

Nope. The wooden slats are only a few inches apart so a box spring isn't necessary

I think you would need a king boxspring. Otherwise there would be not support in the middle to hold up the twin boxspring. Sincerely, Russell West Wrest Furnishings

Box spring is not required. You can use a box spring if you feel that the mattress is too low from the ground.

I believe it is necessary to be put between a mattress and box spring. After my husband's stroke we used it to help him sit in the bed on the edge. It did need the straps under the mattress to maintain its stability.

You really don't need a box spring I put the mattress on and it just the right height I think a boxspring would be too high for the child

There is a slatted base. The only reason you would need a box spring is if your mattress is really thin, just to keep it from being so low to the ground aesthetically, but not for functionality.

No. you could get some plywood and put that on top of the support system, but the spacing of the support system alone is too wide to support your mattress without a box spring or plywood under the mattress.

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.

We used a boxspring. It had rails so if you only wanted to use a mattress I assume you could use a piece of plywood below it.

A boxspring isn't necessary, the mattress sits on a platform. The picture shows bed without a boxspring

No. I bought a frame platform without a box frame. It's nice because it sits 14" up from the floor so there's room for storage underneath.

Yes it includesthe boxspring. It is not a very comfortable mattresses though. It does not feel like there are enoughh springs and the spring that are there are not very strong. When i sit on it the bed sinks all the way to the boxspring. And i am not a heavy person. Spend the extra money for a sealy or a serta. I wish i had.
