Hi Juliana -- This question was asked once before and got some very helpful answers that you can see here:

You can also see a similar version of this question that relates specifically to whether foundations are needed for platform beds.

If neither of these answer your question, please post back here with some more details on how your situation is different. The experts here can definitely provide some helpful advice on this topic.
