can you use a box spring with this bed?

Yes. I tried having just the mattress and the bed was too hard. The box spring helped.

Yes but it's pointless. This bed acts as a boxspring itself. This and foam bed is perfect combo.

You do not need a box spring. i simply went to Lowes and had them cut a few pieces of wood and used that instead. It worked well as a platform bed which was not too high for my 5 year old. Hope that helps.

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

You can try...I had to re-enforce the middle support. it was cheap and flimsy and honestly broke within days. I think it would look a little funky to have the box spring under the mattress on this bed. it's made to be used without a box spring.

You can use a regular mattress and a box spring is not needed. Your bed will sit at pretty much the same height it would with a standard frame and box spring. The storage space underneath is great.

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

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!!

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.

Yes it can. I bought the bed a yea ago and love it! I use a box spring and a mattress (of course) and they work very well.

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

Yes you may, but you don't have to place a box spring as this product can replace old box spring and bed frame.

The bed frame don't have the support to hold a box spring so the box spring will move a around on you when you lay it on the frame. So my opinion would be just to uses it with just a mattress. But I love the bed frame.

I guess you can but we do not. We put this on an old waterbed frame (like a platform). Just have the mattress on, no box spring.

You could... but this mattress doesn't need a box spring anyways. I bought a fold up bed frame that you put the mattress on. It only cost like $59.00 and takes a couple of minutes to set up, its light weight and sits up about a foot high so you can store things under the bed. It would look a lot nicer than sleeping directly on the floor. Stay cleaner too.

You don't have to use a box spring. You can use a platform of some sort to support it, or you can buy a foundation for it as I did for another mattress. There's a few ways to set it up so that it's right for you.

This bed is really made as a platform. So technically you don't need the box spring. We just have the mattress. You "technically" could put the box spring but I think the bed will be way too high. You may need a step to get into the bed with both. Hope this helps.

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!
