Best Box Springs

While you may have the best mattress in the world, it doesn’t always guarantee the most comfortable sleep. If your mattress is not performing as well as it felt in the store, it’s probably because it lacks a box spring. A box spring is basically a mattress foundation that provides support and stability to your bed. It prevents wear and tear as well as sagging. Moreover, it raises the height of your mattress, making it easier for you to get in and out of the bed. But just like the perfect mattress, finding the right box spring for your bedroom isn’t easy. Below are some tips to help you figure out which box spring is best when you go out shopping.

#1: Measure your mattress.

Box springs come in the same sizes as that of mattresses. These are twin, double, queen, king, and California king. Which means that the size of your box spring will depend on the size of your mattress. Make sure that both have the same length and width. This way, all parts of your mattress get the necessary support. Plus, there’s no overhang. More importantly, the box spring doesn’t stick out, making your bed look awkward. Another consideration you should take into account is the size of your bed frame if you have one. Your box spring should fit your bed frame. Otherwise, one of them will have to go.

#2: Consider the height you want.

Box springs come in two standard heights – 9 inches and 5 inches. The 9-inch box spring can make an already high profile mattress even taller. A low-profile box spring, on the other hand, can make your bed too low if your mattress is not thick enough. In short, you need to take into account your desired bed height which is the height of your mattress, box spring, and bed frame (if you have it). Take note that the height of your box spring has no impact on the amount of support it can provide. So, make your choice solely based on how high you want your bed to be.

#3: Split Box Springs for Easy Maneuverability.

Unlike your mattress, you can’t bend or squish your box spring in order to get it through narrow passageways. If you are getting a queen-sized box spring or bigger, it would be best if you get a split box spring. A split box spring comes in two sections instead of one whole piece which makes it easier to fit through hallways, tight corners, and doors. Yes, this type of box spring is more expensive. But the maneuverability more than makes up for it. Especially if you want to take it with you when moving out.

#4: Choose the materials that will suit your needs best.

Box springs are available in a variety of materials. Generally, they are made of wood with steel reinforcement for durability and support. The frame is then covered with fabric. Some will feature a skid resistant fabric to prevent the bed from sliding. Others may use hypoallergenic fabrics or organic fabrics. Some use fabrics that are designed to repel dust, mites, and mold. You’ll find box springs with natural fillers and some that provide extra support for sleepers with back problems. Every sleeper is different. You will need to consider your lifestyle as well as your personal needs when choosing which materials work best for you.

#5: Don’t ignore the box spring included with your mattress.

Some manufacturers offer box springs along with their mattresses. One good thing about this is that box spring will fit the manufacturer’s warranty. Since they most likely have the same warranty terms, maintaining both will be easier and a lot cheaper. Another benefit to this is that you may get the box spring a lot cheaper than the retail price. Manufacturers often sell them together as a promotional offer.
