Do you need a box spring or are the wood slats enough?

Hey I own this bed, and you do not need a box spring, it is made for use with just a memory foam mattress

What's flats are definitely enough. Bucksprings would make the bed extremely high.

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

You will need either a box spring, platform or a piece of plywood. I have mine on a box spring and I feel that it's too springy.

Yes a box spring is needed. The foundation are slats which would be placed too far apart for just a mattress. Also the bed would be super low with no box spring

You will need a box spring, only three slats come with it. I recommend this bed for guest only and not regular family usage.

You don't need a box spring. But make sure you get all the parts they're supposed to send you!

No box spring needed...we just put our son's memory foam mattress on the wooden slats. I would like to add that the bed frame sits about 12 inches off the floor so a box spring and mattress would make the bed very high.

I have a slatted bed frame, similar to an Ikea bed frame and no, you do not need a box spring. I agree with another reviewer that this mattress is very firm and I also have put a topper over it. I'm not a heavy person but when I sleep on my side, I can feel the slats on the bottom of the bed on my hips. I don't have this problem any more with the topper but it was an extra expense I wasn't expecting.

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

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

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!

We used the box spring without the wood slats . We are purity hard on the bed with the kids jumping up on it. The frame is really strong..

You can use a regular box spring, or an Ikea bed with the slats will hold fine.

We do not use a box spring. Ikea bed slats should suffice. Check the softness of this bed before purchasing which is on higher side

No need for a box spring, the slats are very sturdy. Besides, if you put a box spring on, I would think the mattress would tend to slide off when it is slept on.

No box spring needed. Just a solid foundation. Some people use a sheet of Masonite on their bed frame.

Yes--we do not use a box spring--the wooden slats are intentionally bowed, to give flexibility, but slightly flimsy (we needed to use small pieces of cardboard to keep them in place--was not hard to do) but we are happy with the looks and durability of the bed.

Nope! Mine is on 1x4 wooden slats. It's quite a bit cheaper than a box spring. Also stronger. Hope that helps.
