Do I need a box spring, and will the bed sit too high?

No box spring is required; this mattress's 1000-coil core supports itself on any flat, rigid foundation, platform, or slats under 3 inches apart. Keep in mind it already stands a tall 16 inches, so if you add a foundation, a low-profile 4-to-5-inch one usually keeps the bed at a comfortable height. A tall 8-inch box can make a 16-inch mattress higher than many people find easy to climb into.
