Most boxsprings or foundations could probably handle such a gap running side to side not so sure it could handle it lengthwise though. Additionally there are other factors to consider like the construction of the foundation that I haven’t seen or the combined weight of the individuals that will be using the bed. My answer is be on the side of caution and add the additional support and additionally you should never have an issue if warranty ever comes into play.

We are going to have it elevated on 15" wide cubes on each side, running the entire length of the bed. This will leave 30" in the center, unsupported. Would we need some time of center support for that? I just have a question-We have a queen mattress and low profile bed frame that we just purchased.
