What is a box spring?

A box spring is a support for your mattress and is typically constructed from a wooden frame, covered in cloth with springs in the middle. It is usually built the same size as the mattress it will support, sitting underneath the mattress and above the bed slats.

Do I need a box spring?

Most beds designs require a box spring for the mattress to sit on with the except of platform beds. The box spring fulfills three needs:

1. To raise the mattress higher off the ground so you’re not stuck in your bed like a turtle on its back.
2. To absorb impact and reduce the wear on the mattress.
3. To give the mattress a strong, flat surface to sit on.

Will I sleep better with a box spring?

Box springs has proven to be the ideal solution for mattress foundations over the long term as it provides a mattress equal support and can minimize impact/vibrations along with the mattress. It will certainly provide you with better sleep over time. Without a box spring, a mattress normally sits right on the wood slats unevenly taking away comfort and ruining the mattress support over time. If one of the wooden slats break it will cause nightmares.
