Could I use a low profile box spring with this bed since I already one or does it only accomodate mattress?

I imagine you can because it will sit on top of planks. Functionally it should be fine. I use a mattress only though. You will want to be careful of the total height because it will take away from the look of the headboard. Also, you will need to completely cover the box spring because of how it sits inside the frame. A bed skirt will not work with this frame. Hope this helps.Ryan

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.

A low profile will work better than a full size box spring. I have a full size and it is too high it covers too much of the headboard.

I tried it with my queen regular height split box spring, i found it was to tall off the ground and it covers to much of the headboard. A low profile headboard would be better or a mattress atleast 10 inches high/pillow type works the best:-) just bought a new 14 pillowtop today. Looks great

I just got two of these beds, you could use a box springs. We choose not to however it works either way.

I own this. It only needs a mattress. In fact, the lip of the bed frame is only about two inches, so a mattress on top of a box spring would be difficult to keep steady.

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

I did get a box spring only because I wanted the bed alittle higher and when I bought the mattress it came with a box spring mattress but you do not need one

You need something because the mattress will sink between the slats. A box spring will set the mattress way to high for the bed design though. I just flattened the box after I unpacked the bed pieces, and laid it over the slats. Worked perfect!

You can use it with just a mattress if you would like. My daughter has both the box spring and the mattress because she likes it a little higher. It really depends on your preference :) Enjoy it!!!! My daughter loves it!!!!

I have three of these mattresses. Each are on slats. You can use box springs just fine. As to advice on which one, sorry, but I'm not a fan of box springs so I can't help there.

You wouldn't want to use a box spring for it would make the bed too high and probably add unnecessary weight. I love this bed! We have a tempurpedic matress and it all sits high enough that my 6ft husband does not "drop" down on in when he sits.

You do not use a box spring with this bed. It would make the mattress too high. There are round metal rods that support the mattress. You need a mattress and that is it. I did place a thin board atop the metal rods to keep the shape of the mattress, but the board is not necessary.

I don't think it will be to low, if that is your preference. I got a higher box spring and it looks great, it just depends on how high you want it to come up the headboard.

The beauty of this bed is that is does not need a box spring. It is a platform bed. I did not use a box spring but i would think that you could if you wanted to .

No, we just put the mattress on it. If you put a box spring, the mattress will be too high. The picture is what our little girl's bed looks like with just the mattress.

yes Bonnie you can use your box spring with this mattress, but it will make your bed higher than a regular one ! I like mine that way , enjoy !

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.

Its meant to take a box spring. You might be able to use it with just a mattress (there are center supports) but it would be pretty low.

Hi D, The mattress is comfortable and being used as a single mattress on an adjustable bed - with no bottom board or box spring. But as each person's needs are different you should consult with the seller as to best way to use the mattress. M.P.
