Without a box spring the mattress won t have adequate support.
													
																	Can you use a box spring with a platform bed frame. 
									
	
		
	
																	Our guide helps you choose the best bed base. 
																	Hi i m trying to eliminate my squeaky metal frame that holds my new box springs and king mattress. 
																	Both a platform bed and a box spring are bed bases but a platform bed doubles as a bed frame. 
																	Memory foam mattresses are also able to be used on a platform bedframe. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	The box spring sits on top of the bed frame and then the mattress sits on top of the box spring. 
																	A box spring or a platform bed enhances the comfort and support of your mattress. 
																	Finally a box spring foundation is a must if you re using a standard metal bed frame or any bed that provides only a rim around the perimeter to hold the mattress perhaps with a few cross pieces of wood. 
																	I want to purchase a king size foundation platform then place the box springs on top of the foundation understanding that the foundation is supposed to be in place of box springs. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Next there s the platform bed. 
																	If you already have a box spring that you plan to use with a new platform bed you should measure it to be sure it will fit properly. 
																	Box springs do not allow air to circulate freely. 
																	You do not need a box spring or a special mattress for a platform bed. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	The answer is no. 
																	Platform beds are essentially just beds without box springs. 
																	Box springs have a wooden frame evenly distributed springs on the inside and a cloth covering stretched over the whole thing. 
																	This provides adequate support while still allowing maximum airflow to your bedding. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Platform beds allow air circulation making this a good option if you have a memory foam mattress. 
																	Due to its supportive design any mattress can be placed directly on a platform bedframe without the need for a box spring or foundation. 
																	It works as a box spring and a bed frame simultaneously. 
																	You can position a box spring on a bed frame and store things underneath however depending on the floor surface this might not be a good option. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	This is one of the best aspects of using a platform bed.
