The popularity of box-spring beds has increased considerably in recent years. The bed system is known for its high level of sleeping and lying comfort and is also popular due to its impressive appearance. Nevertheless, many customers ask themselves why the box-spring bed is actually so good and what advantages it offers. We show you the advantages of the box-spring bed and how it differs from a conventional bed.
The structure of the box spring bed
Even at first glance, it is noticeable that the box-spring bed is visually different from a standard bed with a slatted frame. The box spring bed usually consists of three parts:
– Box spring: The box spring, also known as the spring core box, forms the basis of the box spring bed. This is a sturdy wooden frame in which a spring core is installed.
– Mattress: The mattress rests on the spring box and is available in different versions. Ideally, the mattress should be matched to the suspension of the box spring in order to achieve the highest possible level of comfort. Mattresses with spring core, pocket spring core, visco or cold foam can be selected according to requirements.
– Topper: As an additional layer, the topper increases lying comfort and offers the advantage of a continuous lying surface on double beds.
Incidentally, the base of the respective model indicates whether it is a genuine box spring bed or merely a standard bed that is modeled on the popular bed system in terms of appearance. A box-spring bed always has an innerspring box – if there is only a slatted frame in the base, it is not a real box-spring bed.
Double suspension increases comfort
With box-spring beds, users benefit from significantly higher point elasticity and, as a result, greater lying comfort. The bed adapts perfectly to the body and enables an ergonomic lying position thanks to the double suspension provided by the spring core box and the mattress. For healthy and restful sleep, the bed should support the body in the right places, but also allow it to sink in where necessary. For example, the shoulder area should be able to sink in, while the lower back must be supported. In this way, the natural shape of the spine is promoted even when lying down and back pain and tension are effectively prevented. Additional options, such as an electrically adjustable headboard and footboard, also contribute to the comfort of the box spring bed.
The look of the box spring bed – elegant, luxurious or sophisticated
Many users choose the box-spring bed not only because of its comfort. The bed system is also visually impressive. The box-spring bed has an extremely high-quality and luxurious appearance thanks to the classic design of the protruding headboard and the upholstery around the frame and headboard. Depending on the material and design of the cover, it adds an elegant touch to the furnishings. The height of the bed also contributes to the imposing appearance of the box-spring bed and enriches the bedroom with its sophisticated effect. The height of the bed also makes it easier to get into bed, which will particularly please people with back problems and the elderly.
However, even the best box spring beds do not always have the perfect design to harmoniously round off the bedroom interior. For this reason, many retailers and manufacturers now offer the option of individually configuring box spring beds. This means that every user can find the right box spring bed for their needs – both in terms of comfort and design. Depending on the manufacturer, for example, the material and color of the cover, the look of the headboard, the design of the bed legs and the size of the respective model can be selected individually.
