The box spring provides flexible support for the mattress. Without it, your mattress would either fall through the frame, or would have to be supported by something solid, which would make the mattress itself feel very hard and it would also wear out a lot faster due to the pressure of being compressed between a person and a hard surface.

Do you need to replace your box springs when purchasing a new mattress?
If you have a set of box springs you should replace them when you get a new mattress as they wear out. If you have a foundation (rigid platform) and it is in good repair and sits flat you will get just as long a wear out of your new mattress as you will with a new foundation. It will probably void your warranty, but if you bu a decent mattress and take care of it you most likely will have no issues. You should not use a box spring with a bed designed for a foundation as it will wear prematurely. over 90% of the beds made today have foundations. Also a bed designed for a box spring should not have a foundation used on it. The innerspring on a platform and box spring bed are designed differently.

Do you have to put the box spring and mattress on rails?

Do you need a box spring with a platform bed that has slats 16 inches apart?
Yes. The mattress will sag between the slats. An unsupported mattress will not only lose its integrity, it can cause problems with your back, not to mention your sleep. Mattress warrantees may also be voided if not supported by a proper foundation. Many people purchase platform beds for their low profile. If a mattress and foundation set makes the bed higher then desired, there are low profile foundations available to put under the mattress. If any foundation rises the mattress higher then desired, a plywood deck may be used. Be sure to check your manufacturer warrantee on the use of decking. If all the above fails, there are mattresses available that have a frame build into the bottom of the mattress. These mattresses are widely used for bunk beds in twin and full sizes. Other than low profile, the other reason people buy platform beds is because it saves money on box spring. before saying no, i would suggest you give it a try, see if there is a sagging problem or if you will have trouble sleeping at night. If none of that happens, then a box spring may not be needed. Of course, if you have the budget and don't mind spending another $300, then buying a matching box spring is always a good idea.
