Do you need to assemble the better than box spring?

Yes. The frame needs to be assembled, but it's really simple and won't take more than 5-10 minutes. No tool required.

You certainly need some type of support structure. If you have a platform bed, then you do not need a box spring. If you only have a frame, you need a support structure, the most common being a box spring. I mean you could use a piece of plywood provided there was enough support. Personally, I bought a box spring and a frame.

For me, I use no box spring. My bed seems perfect without it. If you feel you need box springs you can always order it later.

no, I bought a bed frame made for this product. reasonably cheap, much less than a box spring

Yes, unless you have a bed frame that does not require a foundation or a boxsprings. For example, if you have a daybed that springs are build into the frame you will not need boxsprings or the foundation.

Don't use a box spring. You'd need a ladder to climb up onto this bed if you did ;)

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

My frame did not come with a box spring. It doesn't have much support, just enough to hold the mattress. In short yes.

Yes you do and I recommend this one I got off of Amazon: Night Therapy Platform Metal Bed Frame/Foundation Set(SmartBase + Metal Brackets for Headboard & Footboard + Bed Skirt - Queen) - No Box Spring needed . It is one amazing frame support for under the bed. I ordered that and put mattress that I also ordered from Amazon on it and it is great.

You need only Platform frame. No need for boxspring unless you want to make it too high.

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! :)

Nope. The wooden slats are only a few inches apart so a box spring isn't necessary

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.

We just use a bed frame but the frame has to have multiple slats across the center to hold it so it can't just be a standard bed frame. So ultimately to answer your question no box spring necessary if you have a bed frame with cross member support.

A box spring or a platform bed is necessary. I bought a platform bed similar to the one in the main picture

You do not need a box spring. The wood slats are fine. I have a memory foam mattress on the slats.

I do not believe you need a box spring. I have the matress on a Bunkie Board in a bunk bed.
