I love this bed.. it’s beautiful and it looks exactly like it does online!  All the reviews I read said it needed a box spring.. LIES!!! It doesn’t need a box spring, it comes with slats and it holds our mattress nicely so I’m not sure why a box spring is needed  We got a 14’ memory foam mattress and the height is perfect, if we put a box spring you would only  be able to see half of the headboard.  Are we going to ruin the bed by not having a box spring!! I mean it seems sturdy enough and we didn’t feel a box spring is needed.
