New Platform beds don't require a box spring, you can simply top with a standard mattress.

Standard / traditional bed do require a box spring with your mattress purchase. They'll help to stabilize the mattress and extend its enthusiasm.

You should NEVER re-use an old box spring with a bright mattress. You'll be wasting the money on a great new top mattress that isn't supported properly - shortening the life of the top mattress and your unknown investment!
