do I need a box spring also ?

No box spring is needed, but as stated in an earlier response, you will need a couple extra slats.

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.

No, but you'll need a solid platform of some sort to put it on, unless you're just going to throw it on the ground.

A box spring isn't needed. I went w/o one for a bit but it was kinda low.. So I added one later.

You first need a bed frame but yes you need a box spring, you only get the head and foot board of this bed and it comes in pieces that you have to assemble.

A box spring isn't necessary. The bed is designed to place the mattress directly on top of the frame.

You do not need a box spring. i simply went to Lowes and had them cut a few pieces of wood and used that instead. It worked well as a platform bed which was not too high for my 5 year old. Hope that helps.

No, this bed doesn't need a box spring. The surface that the mattress rests on is solid wood (not slats or springs like some beds) so a box spring isn't necessary. You could probably use on if you wanted , but it's not needed.

You will need box springs. This is so much more beautiful than the pictures show. Well worth the money.

Don't use a box spring. You'd need a ladder to climb up onto this bed if you did ;)

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.

You don't need a box spring. I bought a box spring before I got the bed. Now my mattress sits at what feels like 4 feet high. The bed comes with slats to make up for the box spring.

Yes, I use a frame under the box spring. Whether it's necessary or not, I couldn't tell you. I just have a regular metal frame, nothing fancy.

Yes you do need a box spring. Love the head board foot board. Very stationary

This bed is really made as a platform. So technically you don't need the box spring. We just have the mattress. You "technically" could put the box spring but I think the bed will be way too high. You may need a step to get into the bed with both. Hope this helps.

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.

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.

Box spring is definitely not needed. The bed is already tall enough as it is - we are joking about getting a small step ladder to get on it! :)

No box spring needed. I had to throw mine away. But the extra storage was worth it.
