Do you need a box spring for the mattress? How tall would it be with a box spring?

I don't have a box spring and the bed is very tall! My 7 year old daughter can hardly climb in it! With a box spring the headboard would be partially covered!

It would be way to tall with a box spring. It has slats you put on the bed to act as a box spring. Without a box spring we still have to climb into it lol

It would be too tall. I will say though. We bought an Icomfort mattress with gel and it is awesome!!! Best bed I ever slept on. Ours is 36" tall with the mattress. I also added plywood over the slats for extra support. Hope this helps.

No box spring needed at all. I'm 6'1" and it was quite tall no box spring. My fiancé being 5'4" had to practically "jump" into the bed with no box spring. Hope this helps.

You do not need a box spring if you don't want one. We have a sleep number mattress and it stands about 3.5'.

No a box spring is not needed we purchased a nice mattress to go with it.... The bed is very tall and sturdy we love it!

No - the bed base is very tall - we got a pillow top mattress, which brought the bed to chest-high on me - I am 5'5". Add box springs and you'd need a ladder to get into it.

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! :)

The need for a box spring depends on the type of bed frame you have. My bed frame has the bars across from top to bottom to support the mattress so I don't use a box spring, however I do use a Mattress Support folding bed board to give my mattress extra support. With the mattress support boards it is a very comfortable mattress!!!

There is no box spring required. We bought a memory foam mattress and no box spring, it works great for our daughter.

You really don't need a box spring I put the mattress on and it just the right height I think a boxspring would be too high for the child

No, you do not need a box spring. I have my mattress on a plain plywood board and it works fine.

The mattress does not require a box spring, but I have a bed frame which is designed to work without a box spring. If the bed frame is designed to use a box spring, then you will need a box spring. This is because a box spring bed frame will not 1) have the 12 - 15 lateral support bars the mattress requires, and 2) mount the bottom of the foam mattress about 18 inches from the floor.

You could use a box spring but it isn't necessary. I will make the bed pretty tall.

No box spring required, and it would be too tall with one. The mattress rests mostly on the solid cabinets and partially on slats that span the void between the drawers and the headboard.

It requires box springs. I highly recommend you buy thin box springs unless you are really tall. Between the box springs and the mattress, it sits high....but, I LOVE this bed! Had a few issues with the slats falling out, so we had to use wood screws to secure them tighter, but holding up now.

Depends if you want the height. I bought one to use on a trundle to pull out from under the bed so I don't need a box spring, but if you are putting it on a bed frame I would use a box spring to give the accurate height and comfort. Hope this helps. Great Mattress!

Hi Kerri, I agree with Drea...the bed would be way too high with a box spring. It's quite high with just the mattress itself. It is a nice sturdy bed with plenty of room underneath for storage or a trundle though.

We didn't buy box springs. You don't need them bc they have slats and box springs would make them too high. The mattresses were standard twin. I hope that helps. The bed is a good sturdy one that can fit easily if space is limited.

you do NOT have to have a box spring. I don't, and the only think I'm not 100% happy with is that my pillow slides up at night under the head board. but depending on how thick your mattress is, that may not be an issue. mine is 8".

This is for the mattress only, Box spring not needed, I put mine on a plywood platform. Bob

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

Yes you need a box spring, I'm not sure about the weight capacity, that would also depend on your mattresses
