Information AboutBox-spring |
|
A box-spring is a hard sturdy wooden frame, covered in Cloth , containing Springs or some other form of Torsion . Usually the box-spring is placed on top of a wooden or metal bedframe which sits on the floor and acts as a brace. The box-spring is usually the same size as the much softer Mattress which is placed above the box-spring. Working together, the frame, box-spring, and mattress make up a bed. It is not uncommon to find a box-spring and mattress being used together without the support of a frame underneath (with the box spring placed directly on the floor). The box-spring serves three main purposes: To help raise the mattress's height, making it easier to get in and out of Bed ; to help absorb shock and reduce wear to the mattress; and to help create a perfectly flat and firm structure for the mattress to lay upon. Some beds do not need a box-spring, but most traditional frame or Four Poster Bed s require one. SEE ALSO |
