does it need a box spring ?

The furniture piece I purchased was strictly headboard only; there was not frame other than the legs for the board. Because of the height of our own pillowtop mattress and boxsprings my husband raised this higher than the limit it originally came with. He did the work and had it done quickly so it wasn't hard to figure out.

No , it is only a headboard that attaches to the bed frame. You must already have the mattress and box spring on the frame in order for it to fit without much of a gap.

Yes. There would be a gap between the headboard and the mattress because of the height of the headboard if you didn't use a box spring with it.

A box spring is optional (not necessary). Bed comes with a slat support system. Thanks, ModHaus

No box spring needed. Just a solid foundation. Some people use a sheet of Masonite on their bed frame.

Yes, you need a box spring with this! There are 4 slats that go across and that is not enough for the mattress.

No it doesn't need a boxspring. It includes wooden slats to hold the mattress.

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.

Yes it has to have a box spring. You would be way too low with just a mattress. You can get a good box spring at Big Lots for hardly any cost if you have one of those stores near you.

Definitely does not need a box spring. In fact you should not use a box spring. The bed is very thick. Place it on a frame and it will end up higher than the old frame/box spring/mattress combo. And I like the higher profile.

no, i really think you need the box springs for support. a great mattress, but it needs a foundation.

No! I have a really thick memory foam mattress on mine and it fits perfectly. No box spring needed!

No, you will need to buy a twin size mattress for it. No box spring needed.

It really doesn't need a box spring. It just needs a solid / firm base to rest on.

No. The bed needs a box spring and matress set. I really like the bed. Iti's quiet and sturdy, besides being lovely to look at.

Yes, you'll need either a box spring or another foundation of some sort. A mattress would fall through without it.

No it does not need a box spring unless you have an active child that like to jump and plop on the bed

I do use a box spring but one is probably not required as long as you have something flat to sit the mattress on.

Depends what kind of frame you have. If the frame has cross beams that support the mattress throughout then you don't need a box spring. If your frame supports the mattress only on the edges then you need a box spring.
