About this deal

Most people are concerned with how much weight can this bed frametake before it breaks. Is it 500 pounds? 1000 pounds? 2000 pounds? Well, it depends. Most box springs will easily handle anywhere between 500 and 1000 pounds, while some will even hold up to 3000 pounds– although we can't really see the point behind those ones. They were mostly used with innerspring mattresses, which are not as popular as they once were. In fact, they're the least popular option nowadays, trailing the likes of latex mattresses, hybrid mattresses, and of course, memory foam mattresses.

We all know how toasty it can get during the summer, so having a bridge like a box spring between the floor or another bed frame can do wonders for breathability and airflow. There are other types of supports that you can use under a mattress, including platform beds and foundations. Determining what can be used instead of a box spring depends largely on the type of mattress you have.

The harsh truth is – unless you're particularly attached to an innerspring mattress – you don't have a need for this bed frame. Whatever the case is, you're much better off investing in a different bed base and a different mattress.

Step 1 - Insert the rod through the hook of the spring and the hinge until it just enters the coiled section of the spring. It is obvious that there are some benefits to box springs, but we just have to ask ourselves – are they outdated? Do we really need them? And oh, they're both covered in cloth. Neither of them are “naked”. When do we need a box spring system?

One way is to create a web of interconnected springs and place them within the confines of a wooden frame. The other way is to create a metal frame, and instead of using the springs – you place a metal grid on top of it.

A more traditional box spring is another story. Creating a wooden frame takes, and a solid foundation takes time and skill, and properly connecting the springs is nothing short of an art. One of the techniques for making a wooden box spring is called 8-way hand-tying, which requires you to connect the springs using an intricate web of strings, securely tying the springs into place. The spring shown in this guide is intended to be fitted without any modification and suits rods up to 5.5mm diameter. If, however, the dimensions of this spring are not suitable for your letterbox we also offer springs in coil lengths of 20mm, 26mm, 34mm and 39mm which can usually be cut to size (see Letterbox Springs).Both employees and self-employed workers will pay less in National Insurance from next year, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has announced in today's Autumn Statement. Autumn Statement: State pension confirmed to rise by 8.5% from April 2024 – while some benefits will go up by 6.7% Remember that extra weight can cause a higher level of wear and tear on a box spring, and heavy mattresses are not well-suited to box springs. Read the weight guidelines for your chosen box spring before purchasing to make sure it will work with your bed before you spend any money.
