Platform Bed Slate

Do I need a box-spring with a platform bed?

I have a platform bed. The bed has slates, not all one flat surface — the slates are wide wooden pieces, with spaces in between them. For about a year now, I’ve just had a futon mattress on top of it, but it’s not the most comfortable thing in the world (the mattress, that is), so I am going to replace it.

My question is,
when I buy a regular mattress for the platform bed, do I need to use a box-spring with it?

You do not have too but you can if you want. In my opinion futon mattresses pretty much s*%k however get yourself a good mattress and put it on the platform bed and you’ll be just fine I promise . Box springs for the most part today are more of a platform than a flexible box spring like they used to be and serve no other purpose other than to lift the bed into the air or keep it from falling through a wood or steel frame. http://www.stlbeds.com/articles/2008/05/07/what-is-a-boxspring-and-what-does-it-really-do/ What is a Boxspring and What Does it Really Do?
