If I get this kind of bed frame do I add just a mattress OR do I add mattress plus box spring?

Answer
If it is a true "platform" bed, then it does NOT require a box spring. I have one, trust me. It will make it too high and ruin the look. A box spring is not necessary. They came out with those in the 50's when bed frames had no support in the center. It was needed then--it is not with a platform bed. They sell them still for those frames but mostly because Americans are so used to it and it is a BIG money maker. Most European beds are not like this. What you need to know:
A platform bed does not have "slats" like the other guy said. It has a full base to support the mattress. (Like a futon has.)
You will need though a extra deep mattress, at least 13".
The sales person WILL try to talk you into a mattress/box springs set. They ALL DID me. They will give you some BS that it actually costs less blah, blah.
They do make a "less deep" box springs that are only about 5" to better fit a platform bed. This is a complete waste of money. Don't buy into that.
Base on these pictures, the mattress is not setting down into the frame. It appears to sit ontop the platform because you can see the bedding is tucked in. Call or go see it in person. If the platform is level with the side--it's a platform.
I read ALL about this when I bought my bed and sales people tried to convince me to buy both. I didn't and my bed looks and sleeps wonderfully.
EDIT One other sales tactic is they will tell you that not using the box spring will "invalidate" your warranty. I have never needed a stupid warranty on a mattress nor has anyoneI have ever know. SCAM.
OMG that photo does NOT show a box spring!!!!!!!! It is a deep 17" (at least) mattress! Dude do you put your crib sheet over both your mattress and box springs? NO! Do you see a break in the sheet? NO!
