Hello, I have checked out your site for the last few months, and it is a really intelligent place to visit for info on mattress purchasing. I recently bought a new bed frame (still in  boxes) that can be set up two ways, one allowing for boxsping and one without. I also ordered a mattress (Shifman) and boxspring and now I am wondering if I really need the boxspring. I believe the  bed has about 8 horizontal slats. Do I need the boxsping? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Would save a bunch of money without boxspring.

Many thanks
