Do you need a mattress and box spring or just a mattress?

Just the mattress alone. I recommend add a sheet of plywood on top of the planks and then add mattress for even flat surface for Mattress to rest on.

We just have a mattress because with a box spring the mattress is above the safety rail level.

All you need is a mattress. The platform is very well supported. As a matter of fact, a box spring would make the bed so high that you would need a ladder to get up to it.

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.

There is really no reason to use a box spring at all. There are slats that go across the bed frame and that is all you need. If you did use a box spring, you would be rather high and your mattress might slide off trying to get in and out of bed.

Yes you can use a regular mattress and absolutely no box spring necessary. I use a 12 inch foam mattress from Costco and its the best sleep I've had. Save yourself a lot of money.

Yes you will need one, we just used our old box spring. The mattress is firm but is still holding up for the price not bad.

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

I don't think it necessarily needs a box spring, but your mattress would be more comfortable with one. Box springs help displace the pressure of the springs in the mattress. The platform will keep the springs from bouncing and you end up with spring in your back. This is from personal experience. Can always get a box spring later if the platform isn't to your liking.

Just the mattress. We already had a frame and are using the box springs from our prior mattress set.

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! :)

Absolutely! I made the mistake of purchasing a mattress only and realized, as soon as the mattress was delivered, that a box spring was very necessary.

You will need to support your mattress, with either box springs, or a box. A box looks like a box spring, but it is no more than a spacer / mattress support ...

You can use a regular mattress and a box spring is not needed. Your bed will sit at pretty much the same height it would with a standard frame and box spring. The storage space underneath is great.

The box spring mattress that comes with the bed is the mattress. It's firm but very comfortable.
