No, you do not have to use a frame with a box spring and mearttss. However the top of your bed will be very low to the floor, probably 15 to 18. I’ve had mine this way for the same reason you are considering doing so. You can also raise it up using 5 or 6 cinder blocks, or build a frame with cross supports to set it on.Some problems with not using a frame could be: colder air near the floor, and drafts in the winter; not having a headboard, since there would be a space between the top of the mearttss and the bottom of the headboard; and, finding blankets and bedspreads that hang properly.My queen size sheets work fine, but sizes vary by manufacturer, and some may hang on the floor. Queen size blankets also should fit well. Full size bedspreads work better on a queen mearttss/box springs without a frame. Quilts and coverlets should be bought in queen size; they are not supposed to fall to the floor. You can’t use a dust ruffle, but you can put a fitted sheet over the box spring to make it blend with the colors of your bedding, or room. Hope this helps.
