Does the box springs sit directly on the log frame or the support beams? My box springs and matteress sit so high you can't see the headboard.

The box spring will sit on the side rails and the support beams...they are the same height

My box springs sits on both the frame and cross support beams. With the box spring and mattererss both on it is even with the footboard.

It doesn't require a box spring. It makes the bed extremely high if you do. I don't remember there being a substantial gap between the headboard and bed. I would have noticed if there is, that type of thing bugs me.

I used a box spring and the head board and foot board are not as high as shown in the pic therefore verylow profile.

The original box springs do NOT work well, you need a flat surface so there is not sagging - we removed the box springs, put in 2x4s and plywood and that works wonderfully well on the original frame

I have a box spring on this frame and the only issue I have is that the box spring moves around easily if you try to move your mattress, etc. We are going to solve that by putting screws through the frame into the box spring.

No I don't think so. We are using the box spring with it because it was more comfortable with our mattress, but the bed is pretty high now. We also got the headboard and we had to make a stand to raise the headboard because we are using the box spring.

This is just a headboard. We attached to a bedframe we already had. We did use a box springs under the mattress.

I initially used it without a box spring and had a plywood board across the slats..but, after a few months I was over it and decided to get a box spring. Unless you have a very thick mattress there is a pretty big gap between the mattress and bottom of the headboard. I feel it's much better now.

I have mine attached to a full-size bed. It's maybe 2-3 inches wider than the full-size frame on both sides. I just centered it behind the frame and it looks fine. Note that the headboard is made to fasten to a conventional bed frame. Since I bought a platform frame (to avoid the need to buy a box spring), the frame did not fasten the way a normal one would. My husband bolted a board across the bottom of the headboard and bolted the platform to that.

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.

You bed boards. I bought some and Im nit using them decided to stay with my box spring. I can sell you the boards they are still in the box. I also love the bed

You will need to buy the attachments for the head & foot board - they do NOT come with this frame.If you use a box-spring, your bed will be very high.

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.

I use it as my box spring for a memory foam mattress so I had nothing to attach to it. It sits higher then a traditional frame and there isn't anywhere to attach a headboard. It is a very good frame though.

Right at 25 inches, using a bed/frame with a pop up trundle...no box springs, just a mattress. My daughter doesn't prop her pillows up against the shelf; so she doesn't have any problems with it. I did not bolt the headboard to the bed frame because the holes don't line up, so I could jack it up some if needed. She puts stuffed animals, nail polish, IPod dock, fan, etc. on her shelves and hasn't had any problems at all. Hope this helps.

The headboard attaches to the bed frame, which is not supplied with the headboard. If you have one of those new taller bed frames, you wouldn't need a box spring, but if you have the older and more traditional short bed frames, then a box spring is required.

There is a center support beam. I am using a split boxspring, just measure and make sure it fits on the frame. There is not problem with my box springs, no wiggles, etc.
