Can I put a low profile box spring (4 1/2 inches ) and a regular height mattress 10 inches fit on top? I'd like to use the box spring we have on this

At 14.5 inches in combined height, the mattress would rise 1.5 inches above the side rails, and only 5 inches of the back rail would be visible (at the back rail's highest point). I hope this helps.

There is enough room. You just won't have as much side rail open afterwards

You could, but it wouldn't make too much sense. We have a 12" tall mattress, and there is only an inch or two of the armrest coming above them. If you have 14", it would definitely be at or above the height of the armrests. But you could do it, there isn't anything that would block it. Personally I don't think a box spring is needed, if you get a comfy mattress the wooden slats are very supportive.

You should be okay but call the vendor to be sure. I also have mine on 1x4 pine slats with 2" or so spaces in between the boards. I am sure you don't need a box spring though. The bed is absolutely fantastic!

We are. We have a low profile box springs and the bed is very tall. I don't think it would work well with a regular height box springs unless you cut the legs and made them shorter. But then, you would loose your underbed storage, so I don't know why you wouldn't just buy a standard metal bed frame then.

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

It is not tall enough to go below both a mattress and a boxspring. If you only have the mattress on top of the bed frame it can work. The rail normally fastens with a belt around the boxspring, but could be adapted to fasten to the bed frame.

I am not sure. We had a regular queen metal bed frame which we got rid of and put the regular box spring on the slats that were provided and the mattress on top. It became taller than before. The leather bed frame itself is very low.

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.)

Wow, that sounds like a nice idea, but I'm really not sure. The mattress fits exactly on top of this platform so the platform might slip down inside the frame like a box spring would, but you might have to remove any hardware on the inside of the wooden frame that is built to hold the box spring in place because this hardware will interfere with the metal platform as it has legs to rest on the floor. I would check on the return policy and give it a try because this platform is a brilliant alternative to a box spring. It was easy to set up and way comfortable.

I secured my mother's to the boxspring below her twin mattress...so it depends on the sturdiness and design of the wood platform, I suppose--there is quite a bit strap(s) to work with but I don't know the measurements of your platform. The best I can do is have you compare to a twin size boxspring. The product is very well made, by the way.

Yes Maggie, you can use two twin box springs and your King size mattress on top. The bed is well made and beautiful, but I made more supports under the bed myself to reinforce and stabilize the bed even better. Rolling over it had some movement and once I added extra center and overall support the bed has been amazing. A definite purchase.

You should be fine. We actually placed ours on a standard box spring as well.Simply the best money ever spent on a mattress! Enjoy

I suppose you could but (a) it's going to be a high bed and (b) the foam mattress might slide atop the box spring base. The whole point of this mattress is that you don't need a box spring. I bought the bed "box" to go along with it and it's perfect!!

On the lowest setting, the top of our mattress to the lowest rail top is about 19.5 inches. The height from the top rail to the box spring is about 25 inches, so you could do the math if you want to know an exact height with your mattress. Good luck!

would say yes, toss the box spring (I didn't have one). I'm not sure if you can put it on top, but even if you did it would make your bed really, really high (the height of your mattress & box spring + about 15 inches)

I added my box spring for height, however the slats are close together I imagine that if the foam mattress is thick enough it would be fine.

I suppose a box spring would fit. Without one, my mattress (average thickness) is about 20 inches above the ground, with an added box spring it might seem a little too elevated. I think the bigger concern is that the frame is made to conceal just the lower 2-3 inches of your mattress, so with a box you would need a duvet that covered the entire height of your mattress plus the box spring (minus 2 inches). The support system that is built into the frame is very effective, i found it more comfortable than when i was using a box-spring.

Definitely. We originally placed the mattress on top of a platform but it was too low. This mattress works great with a box spring.
