Box springs and foundations are one of the most critical aspects of your sleeping environment. Commonly referred to as a “bed”, these products provide support for your mattress. They ensure that the weight is distributed evenly and can help prolong the lifespan of your mattress.
Box springs are made out of wood and feature a fabric cover. The way they are constructed is designed to provide even support for your mattress. If you decide to buy a box spring, it’s important to purchase a frame to rest it on. Leaving your box spring on the ground prevents air circulation and reduces its lifespan.
Box springs used to be the most common type of bed foundation in the western world, but they are rapidly being replaced by more modern platform beds.
If you decide to buy a platform bed, you can rest your mattress directly on top of it without the need of a box spring or a frame. Many platform foundations are adjustable, meaning that you can use a remote control or app to elevate or decline your upper and/or lower body, making it ideal for reading or watching TV in bed.
