Can I just throw this on top of my old boxspring in my current bedframe or is it intended to be in a higher frame with nothing else under it?

It doesn't need a box spring, I bought a platform bed frame for mine and it's fine. If you put it on a box spring you're going to need a ladder to get into bed, depending on frame height. Technically it doesn't need anything under it if it's inside a bed frame.

You CAN put this on top of your box spring, but it's a very thick mattress. You will need something underneath it to support (like slats or a board) it.

Hmmmm - I'm going to say, "no." this is the issue: the frame itself is rather "wide". It looks like this frame (mine is a CALKING) is just a bit wider than my FORMER FRAME (which was wooden - and held the boxsping inside). I currently have a Sterns & Foster CALKING set on this frame - once I added the boxspring and mattress -It became HIGHER than a traditional bed set - but I LOVE the frame. Absolutley no "wobble/wiggle". Hope this helps.

No, it IS a bed frame. Won't fit into one. It's an unusual thing- not as high as a regular frame but definitely lifts the mattress off the ground a foot or so, a little higher than a regular box spring.

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.

the top of this bed frame has slats on top as well, but I think that it would be fine. If you put this frame together correctly, you will love it. I had a boxspring that was really creaky and noisy--not any more. this frame is very sturdy and quiet...

Yes. I use this in place of the bedframe that originally came with the mattress and box spring. I also don't use the box spring any more. Works great

Yes you can put your box springs and top mattress on the bed frame. IT is made for that. I had no problems with it.

The frame is only a little over a foot high, so if you use a box spring it won't make the bed too tall. However, the bed might become really firm. (Just my guess.)

That's an interesting question, but I don't believe that would be the case. The wires are on top but then there are strong metal bars which run opposite direction of the wires. While I cannot be certain that pressure won't force a tiny amount of the mattress through the cubed holes, I'm sure the mattress will be just fine on top of the frame. If you believe your mattress is marshmallow soft underneath, then I would recommend getting a box spring to alleviate your fear since few frames will then suit your purpose.

Ok, if by frame you mean headboard and foot board and side railings but nothing else then you can simply open this structure and put it inside that arrangement as you would any other box spring. You don't have to do anything else, just put the mattress above it and you are good to go.

I believe that you could use both a box spring and mattress with this bed frame if you wanted too. It would make the bed much higher though and the only consideration would be that the frame could support the weight. This type of bed is usually made for just a mattress which avoids the need for a box spring because of the supporting slats on the frame which is what I was looking for. With a good firm mattress like we have it is just as supportive as one with a box spring and we don't have the extra cost for one like we would have with the standard bed. I find that with just the mattress it is easier to make up the bed and turn the mattress occasional as it is suggested. I love this bed frame.........it is also high enough to store items under it in storage bags or they even make bed "drawers" that slide under the frame.

I was told that you could when I bought the box spring from Sleep Country. I was going to buy a platform bed with slats but decided not to be because the bed was to low.

Yes you may, but you don't have to place a box spring as this product can replace old box spring and bed frame.

Thanks for your interest in the bed. This is a platform bed so the mattress just sits on a platform. If you put a box spring under the mattress you would be too high. You could possibly remove the platform and set the box spring down into the frame but I cannot say for sure as I don't have one to look at in person.ThanksRussell WestWest Furnishings

If you are putting it on a frame, then yes. Get a low profile box spring. If you are putting it on a bed with a flat base, then no.

No. You will have to put shims or blocks under your bed frame. That's what I did

This is not a frame, but a replacement for a box spring. As such it should sit on the frame, you would not want to attached a headboard to it.
