Can I put this mattress on top of regular box springs? I have a Beautyrest box spring set that is less than a year old, we hate the mattress.

If you put lay plywood on top of the box spring, it works fine. I believe it has to have a solid surface (the plywood) under it for the warranty to be good. We have two foam matresses..one tempurpedic and,the Dynasty, and both are on box springs covered by plywood. We love the Dynasty mattress.

Yes you could put it on a box spring, but we had ours on a platform bed. It's a very sturdy mattress. :) very comfortable!! :)

I don't think it's recommended to do so. The mattress needs a firm base. I initially put it on a box spring, and hated it. Now it's simply on the carpet, and I love it.

I am currently using the mattress in a box spring but it isn't very firm and weight is not evenly distributed it is not a good mattress it will be in my guest room soon.

I put mine on top of our old box spring, worked fine. Bed sets a little lower with this mattress as it is not as thick as our old foam mattress was.

You can use a box spring with the Sleep Master frame. However, since the top of the frame is 14 inches, it is already at the standard height of a frame and box spring, so putting a box spring on top would increase the height of your mattress by whatever the thickness of your box spring is. We tried it just to see how high it would be, and for us it was just too high.

I suppose you could but (a) it's going to be a high bed and (b) the foam mattress might slide atop the box spring base. The whole point of this mattress is that you don't need a box spring. I bought the bed "box" to go along with it and it's perfect!!

Definitely. We originally placed the mattress on top of a platform but it was too low. This mattress works great with a box spring.

No, we just put the mattress on it. If you put a box spring, the mattress will be too high. The picture is what our little girl's bed looks like with just the mattress.

NO!!! My mattress seats on spring straps. It is a hospital bed. You do not a box spring to use the mattress as long there I something for it rest on. I hope this helps.

You would not be able to use the box spring. The platform on the bed means that it is already high enough and strong enough to support the mattress. Adding a box spring would make the mattress way too high.

We put ours on top of our boxspring so I recommend tossing the regular mattress.

Yes, you can. You may eventually want to change it over to just the basic frame that's designed for it (because of height, the box springs wearing down, etc.), but it should be fine placed on the box springs.

We put a sheet of plywood over our existing box springs and it's worked beautifully. You definitely need to support the mattress.

I put this mattress on top of another spring mattress originally, on a hard futon frame. However, the spring mattress just made the whole bed jiggley. Mattress is lower, but perfectly comfortable on just the hard frame. In every sense except added height, the futon frame acts just as a box-spring.

You might be able to....I bought a box spring for my bed with a pillow top mattress and I didnt need the boxspring because it sat to high so I use the platform as the base...

You can use your foundation, if it is good and solid. If it is really like the old box with springs in it, you may want to get a sheet of plywood to put on top of it and then put the mattress on it. If it is the box foundation that does not have springs you probably would not need the plywood. As long as your foundation is solid you do not need to get a separate foundation.

I highly recommend using a box spring. If you don't you will probably ruin your mattress.

You wouldn't want to place a box spring on top of the frame. The frame has slats that connect from the middle board to the frame which strengthens the frame all over. Also, the slats are purposely bowed upward just a little to allow for flex. My mattress comes up out of the frame and it's 8". With a box spring it would be super high. I got the queen and got a memory foam mattress. A regular mattress would suffice as well. Hope this helps!
