Can a box-spring mattress be used on an IKEA bed frame?
Yes, for many of our bedframes you can!
The majority of IKEA's bedframes are designed in a Swedish-European style, with wooden bed slats to provide firm posture support for the mattress. If you combine the IKEA bedframe with a box spring mattress, then no slats are required. With a box-spring mattress, you can attach legs instead of combining them with a bedframe. Regardless of the bed base, the midbeam is always mandatory if the bedframe you have chosen requires one.
