Can this platform hold a mattress and box spring? Is it strong enough?

We have 2 of these beds. We only use a mattress without a boxspring for our kids. These beds are well-made and strong. Our boys jump on them and no damage at all. They can def handle a boxspring.

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

All you need is a mattress. The platform is very well supported. As a matter of fact, a box spring would make the bed so high that you would need a ladder to get up to it.

Yes, this platform comes with everything you need to attach a headboard and footboard. You can use a box spring if you'd like, but the platform is meant to replace a boxspring while providing the proper support as to not damage the mattress.

There are many wood slats that go across the bottom, and I would imagine they could hold the mattress. You would likely want to put a large board underneath, though. As the other commenter said, it would be pretty low if you didn't have a box spring. My box spring comes up to the top of the footboard.

I would say no unless the wood platform is on top of a bed frame that has something to secure the strap to. Not sure an air mattress would have enough weight to hold the Bed Rail in place as the strap passes between the mattress and box spring and attaches to a bed rail. Something must secure the Bed Rail from moving when the patient tries to pull himself up.

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.

I guess so. Mine is on a platform frame which is just flat with no support. Just keeps the mattress raised from off the ground really

Yes, it needs a box spring. There aren't enough slats on the bottom to support just a mattress.

That should work, although this mattress doesn't need the box springs. A platform, such as plywood, works fine.

I would say not, it will make it too hight and not stable for box spring and mattress on it. I think this tine is intend to use instead of box spring. That just my opinion

The foam part of the bottom of the matress is pretty supportive. If you have a platform style bed with "slats" you don't need a box spring. If your bed does not have something like that you would need a box spring

The platform is a series of slats over a solid area above the drawers on the sides - about 1/3 of the total mattress area on each side and slatted only over the center 1/3. It is quite solid. I have a 12 inch memory foam mattress and it supports it well.

Not sure what "great strength" is. Probably much more than I have. You would be much better off deciding on the amount of lift before putting the box spring and mattress on it. You also have to adjust the center support which is under the center of the bed. If you need to adjust the angle at some point just remove the box spring and mattress first. It will make things so much easier. Hope that helps. Good Luch.

As long as the mattress is not super thin it will be fine. It has slats for support so there is no need for box springs other than height.

I would not recommend a box spring for this platform bed set. I have been using this set with a mattress only (Signature Sleep Contour 8-Inch Mattress, Queen ) and it works beautifully!

It is a really tall bed, so no, I wouldn't use a box spring, or you'll have to literally climb into bed.. It's not necessary, either, as there are wood support slats to hold up the mattress.
