Does this mattress need to be used with a box spring, or can we use it on a platform bed?

I currently have mine on a storage foundation from Ikea that uses slats. As long as the slats aren't far apart on the platform bed, this mattress should be fine.

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 don't have a box spring it's on the moveable frame, so I would say yes to the plate form.

You don't need a box spring if you have a platform bed. If it's for a regular frame bed you need box spring.

I have this mattress on a metal platform instead of boxspring and it works fine. Keep in mind this mattress is REALLY heavy :(

No it is not on a platform. No it does not have box springs. You are only getting the memory foam mattress.

Platform. I don't think you're supposed to use a standard box spring. Either a "base" or a platform bed. It also says never lay them on the floor. ?!? But seriously this is my second one. We upsized to a king. I wouldn't trade them for anything.

If you have a platform bed with adequate slats, you do not need anything else. If you have a normal bed frame, you definitely need a box spring.

I don't use box springs- I have an IKEA bed utilizes slats, and this mattress sleeps fine on it. You can use box springs or not.

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

I don't have a box spring. I just have the mattress on a platform bed. I don't have any problems, it's a heavy mattress and so comfortable!

Platform bed should be fine without a box spring for support as long as it is constructed with thick enough wood. The mattress itself provides plenty enough comfort as is, although I did put a quilted cover on mine for a little bonus.

Not sure we had a box spring we just put it on top of that. No problems. It is a good mattress.

Our bed does not require a box spring. Our mattress fits directly on the slats of the bed. It works great!

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 .

Hi, if the platform bed has metal bars or wooden slats/boards that are very strong, then you do not need a box spring, just the mattress will seat there. I have mine on an LL Bean platform bed that also has a center support beam. The King size platform bed has two support beams. I've read that some people add a cut to size, plywood board on top of the slats for extra support because they think that the platform will sag over time, especially with the weight of two people. I hope this helps.

It was a mattress only on top of a hospital bedframe which had springs in the frame. I don't believe box springs would be necessary. It is a nice heavy foam....comfortable and does not squish down easily.

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

I only use a mattress with this bed. I think using a box spring also would make it feel too high. I think it is made to use with just a mattress and no box spring.
