A headboard may be used with the Ascent Adjustable Base and can be attached using adjustable headboard brackets (not included). The following Purple bed frames come with headboard attachments: the platform bed frame, and the Purple Foundation.

Platform bed frames already offer the kind of support the box spring would typically provide, and an adjustable bed can’t accommodate a box spring because the box spring can’t, you know, adjust. If you’re using a platform bed frame or an adjustable bed frame, you’ll likely want to choose a mattress that doesn’t require a box spring in order to provide you with the right kind of support and comfort. But why would you want to use anything other than a Purple mattress, anyway?

If you have a memory foam mattress, poly foam mattress, or Purple Bed, no box spring is required on most modern bed foundations. However – some more modern and innovative mattresses, like those from Purple, are designed to be used without a box spring so long as you have a strong, supportive bed frame. Depending on the design of the mattress, using it without a box spring can lead to serious harm.

In fact, many mattresses won’t honor their warranties unless you use them in tandem with a box spring, so make sure you know what your mattress manufacturer requires. Purple’s high-quality bed frames are designed to securely support your mattress without a box spring.įor the most part, however, you’ll want to use a box spring with a traditional bed frame and innerspring mattress. As for other bed frames, this depends on your particular bed frame and your specific mattress. None of the Purple™ Bed Frames require an extra box spring or foundation.
