Box Springs, Box Foundations & Bed Bases

What is a Box Spring?

A box spring is the base of a bed frame, usually made of a wooden or metal frame that is covered in fabric and supports a mattress. It is designed to absorb shock and provide a supportive, even surface for the mattress. It is also designed to create better air flow through the base of a bed and avoid the build up of mold and mildew. Most box springs are kept on an elevated surface such as a bed frame to stop the transfer of moisture from the floor, up into your bed fabric. Box Springs are also a great way to get just the right height for your bed, making it easier to get in and out of your bed.

What is the difference between a Box Spring and a Box Foundation?

A box foundation is a type of mattress support system that looks like a box, made of either wood or metal, and is designed to provide additional support for a mattress. The box foundation typically has solid and rigid sides, which do not move or flex when pressure is applied. A box spring, on the other hand, is a type of mattress support system that consists of a metal frame and a fabric-covered spring unit. Box springs are designed to provide additional support and cushioning for a mattress, and their springs are designed to flex and adjust to the weight and shape of a person's body.

What is the standard height of a box spring?

A Standard box spring is anywhere from 7" to 9" height. If you are wondering which height box spring to choose, add up the height of your mattress, your frame or base, and your box spring. This is the height you will be "climbing" into bed at. Are you comfortable at that height? If it is too low or too high, consider changing the height of your box spring. Direct Bed offers 2" , 5" , 7" and 9" box spring options. We also have custom sizes if you want another size. If you are looking for a custom height box spring, please call one of our sleep experts at 1 844 475 3378.
