When it comes to buying a new mattress, there's a long checklist of choices to make. Aside from type, firmness rating, and size, you may be wondering whether or not you need a box spring. Before advances in the mattress market, a box spring was essential to supporting your bed set-up. Created to prevent your innerspring mattress from sagging, or sinking, having a stable bed base aimed to increase lifespan and sleep quality.
These days, most mattresses are accommodating and comfortable enough to be used without one. Though it is still advised that all mattresses would benefit from some type of support. If sleeping on the floor isn't really your thing, then there are foundation, platform, and adjustable bed bases to choose from too.
