Just purchased new bed...like sleeping in a watchtower. It is way too high!!! I removed the frame and put the boxspring/mattress directly on the floor. At least I don't have to take a running jump to get into bed! Any reason the boxspring cannot be on the floor, instead of the frame?

Buy an inexpensive regular size frame. They barely are off the floor. You can put your boxspring on the floor but wouldn't you rather have a more finished look for your bed than a dorm room look? You can also build a wood frame yourself or have someone do it for you to the appropriate size.

The main reason for a boxspring is to keep the mattress off the ground for warmth and for protection from moisture.

I did the same thing with my bed but when I bought the mattress the salesmen said it will void the warranty if the box spring is on the floor... I did not even know mattresses came with warranties so it didn't stop me!

Should be no problem. You might put a throw rug under it if it is on a bare floor to prevent scratching the floor.

Of course. the frame for a box spring is just wood or metal anyway.
