If you have made a decision and to go with a box spring after all. It’s important to keep in mind several factors that will help you choose the best box spring for your mattress. These are:
Size of the Box Spring: Ensure your box spring is the same length and width as your mattress. Luckily, box springs come in regular mattress sizes. This means you will get twin, full, queen, and king sizes, easily.
Ease of Movement: Consider a split box spring if you have narrow hallways in your home. This will make the product easier to move. But ensure your bedframe offers support in the middle, before getting a split box spring. There are three types of split foundations; split king, split cal king and split queen.
Is the box spring included? If you are shopping for both a mattress and a box spring, consider asking the mattress salesman whether the mattress comes with its own box spring? Some box springs are usually included in the mattress purchase. Or come with a discount if you purchase both.
If you are looking for a box spring without a mattress, consider revisiting the store you bought the mattress from. To check whether it has a recommended box spring for that specific brand of mattress. Same applies if you purchased online, though most online mattresses don’t make it a requirement to have there specific foundation.
Check the warranty terms for your box spring. Most mattress companies require the use of a box spring for the mattress warranty to be valid. Failure to use one, voids the warranty.
