How does a box spring function?
A box spring provides support to a mattress and its made with a wooden frame and either springs or metal rods. The box springs job is to provide support to the mattress and enhance the life of the mattress while the mattress provides support to the human body. In a complete bed set, box springs are typically placed on top of a wooden or metal bed frame that is connected to the headboard and foot boar. Some people also use mattress and box spring together without the complete bed.
Different types of box springs
Box springs vary in height. First kind are low profile box springs, which are shorter and the second kind are standard box springs which are taller but provide the same amount of support. Low profile box springs are between 5 and 5.5 inches and standard box springs are 9 inches in height. The difference in height between the two is completely aesthetic, and there is no difference in the amount of support they provide for a mattress. Whether you lay your mattress on top of a standard or low profile box spring, you can count on it getting the support it needs to maintain its comfort for as long as it should.
