The Right Box Springs, Colorado Springs, For Your Mattress

Box springs, or foundations as they are also commonly called, provide both height and support underneath a mattress. Traditional innerspring mattresses do best with a box spring or foundation underneath them, as each type of mattress and box spring are designed and manufactured as a set. This means that the box spring is laid out and provides support specific to how the mattress is constructed, and where the coil or innerspring system is placed inside that mattress. A box spring or foundation provide on average 40% of the total overall support in a mattress set, so having the correct box spring underneath your mattress makes a big difference in the amount of support, and probably comfort, you gain while resting.

Not every type of mattress requires you absolutely must have a box spring or foundation under your mattress, but at Colorado Springs Mattress Store, we always recommend using your foundation if at all possible. You will have improved comfort from your new mattress, and extend its life and ability to give you a restful night of deep sleep. Many of our quality lines of mattress systems come with a foundation free as part of the package. Most others have a very minimal cost for the correct foundation or box spring for that particular mattress. As with all our high quality beds, you can easily add the box spring or foundation to a financing agreement.

Ask Us About Your Mattress Warranty and Why You Need a Foundation

Many manufacturers warranty their mattresses only if the correct box spring or foundation is used underneath their particular brand and construction of mattress. The reason is that a box spring made for another design of mattress can actually cause break down and damage to a different mattress over time. The weight distributions are different, coils and cross members are in different places, and covering at different points and thicknesses. Mismatched sets do not provide you the optimum support, or the best durability for your mattress.

It is especially important when utilizing a memory or latex foam, gel foam, Euro or pillow top system to have the right foundation under the mattress to augment the support and prevent unnecessary wear. Many memory, latex, or foam mattresses cannot be used successfully on a slat frame system, but can be used directly on the floor or a platform foundation. Some of those same mattresses are compatible with adjustable frame beds, and usually do not require a foundation.

Is Getting On and Off the Bed a Challenge? A Box Spring Foundation Can Help

Besides correct support and wear, another important consideration for using the recommended box spring is the overall height of your bed. Generally speaking, latex, memory, and gel foam mattresses, even on a platform base with legs, are anywhere between 7 – 9 inches lower than a standard bed with a box spring on a frame. If the ease of standing and sitting on your bed is a consideration, keep this in mind when picking out a system. Nearly all foam or latex beds can be placed over a quality box spring if the additional height is important for your comfort. Many box spring systems come in different heights to accommodate the type of bed frame you may have, thereby achieving a comfortable height just right for you. The common heights are approximately 9 inches for a standard foundation, and between 5-6 inches for a low profile type.

Customer Reviews

Thank you for helping us find the perfect mattress! I can’t believe how much better I’m sleeping with the latex foam mattress than with my innerspring mattress. I wake up without the stiffness and most of the back pain I’ve been living with for over 5 years. On top of that, being pregnant has brought on a whole new set of symptoms for restless nights – until now. I’m sleeping great and thanks for your great service.

I researched this and other air-mattress companies for weeks before our purchase. I only found “ONE” compliant (that was resolved) over the entire internet! I know why! You get personal customer care, no pressure sales, and NO email ads!! Juan was just wonderful, I exchanged several email and phone conversations prior to our purchase, he was patient, thorough, and friendly! We are looking froward to getting our bed and having better nights sleep.

Me and my husband purchased one of these mattresses from you about a year ago. Since then, we have been sleeping great and we wake up feeling refreshed. One of our priorities was to purchase a mattress that would be worth the money and provide us with years of quality and comfort. We feel that this purchase has been well worth the money and our mattress still looks like it did the day we bought it. There is no sagging or indentions to be found. We are more than satisfied knowing we made the right decision. Thank you!

I honestly do not know what exactly I have been reacting to in the new mattress, but it is certainly severe and leaves me unable to breathe without medication. From the first night of moving into the spare bedroom recently (an ancient mattress), I could breathe again and have not had the bronchitis, allergy symptoms or sinus infection which had become the norm for me for the past 2 months.

For years I spent many nights tossing and turning. I would sleep, but awaken without feeling rested. Since my husband and I bought our new mattress I find myself more rested. The mattress has also helped by giving the support necessary to alleviate my back problems. We are very pleased with our new mattress.

I can’t thank you enough for relieving my body that has suffered so long. Just a few days a good sleep on the new bed have stopped the pain in my hips and my energy is increasing. I wish I know about the latex mattresses when I was much younger. It was worth every penny.
