Can this be used without a box spring? I have a "better than boxspring" frame.

I says somewhere... I think on the instructions that come with it that it should not be used with a box spring. It should be used with a platform bed or slats like IKEA beds have.

You will want to place it on a solid surface - a platform bed of some sort, in order for the warranty to be effective. If you have a good frame you should be able to place some lumber cut to size on the frame and make your own platform.

I used a platform bed frame that has multiple slats and no need for a box spring. It is firm and very comfortable, perfect for that platform bed.

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.

The bed frame don't have the support to hold a box spring so the box spring will move a around on you when you lay it on the frame. So my opinion would be just to uses it with just a mattress. But I love the bed frame.

Yes. This frame will support a box spring if you want to use one. But, there is enough frame support that a box spring is not required.

I think so. I have a set of bed frame to go with it. It will be a little low without a box springs or a frame. Hope it's helpful :)

We used it on a platform style bed (waterbed frame) and did not use a box spring. I guess it would depend on the type of frame you are using.

Yes, you will still need a boxspring, I use this myself, just letting you know it isn't easy to move the bed around, it doesn't have wheels

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.

No. You would need something with a solid platform in order to bypass a box spring. A bed 'frame' is not a platform.

I guess you can but we do not. We put this on an old waterbed frame (like a platform). Just have the mattress on, no box spring.

You could use a box spring, but it isn't necessary. This bed is a platform bed. There aren't "slats," but a solid piece of plywood.

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.

Depends on the bed frame. We use a frame with a very tight and very supportive base and a box spring was unnecessary. On my daughters old bed, the bedding was only supported via 3 skinny bars running across the bed frame. I would not use any mattress with that bed without a box spring.

You don't need box spring. But it's poor quality. Mine wood support snapped and I'm not big

You don't have to use a box spring. You can use a platform of some sort to support it, or you can buy a foundation for it as I did for another mattress. There's a few ways to set it up so that it's right for you.

You do not HAvE to use a box spring. We like our bed to be high off the ground so we chose too. It works either way and looks great!
