Set or Mattress Only
People often come in looking for a mattress only. With the tough economic times this country is facing it is generally a couple hundred dollars less to buy a mattress without a matching box spring and to continue using an old box spring. It may seem fine but it is very important to keep in mind that even though you are not directly laying on the box spring it is the main framework that keeps your mattress supported and ensures a good nights rest. You would not buy a home if it was missing all of its framework would you? Well think of the box spring in the same manner. It gives support, without it your mattress would fall through your frame. Your mattress would bend, dip and fall apart under even the slightest amount of pressure. A common complaint with mattresses is that over time foam will soften and dip. Quite often this dipping can be related to an old or broken box spring. So it is always worth the extra money to buy a new box spring when buying a new mattress. That box spring will help protect your investment.
