Do You Need a Box Spring for a Twin Bed?

Artwork

No, a twin bed doesn't always need a box spring. It depends on the type of bed frame and mattress you have.  Memory foam or latex mattresses work best on platform beds with slats that are close together. Innerspring mattresses, on the other hand, may need a box spring for support.
