Mattresses Can't Perform Well Without The Right Boxspring

Every Mattress Must Have a Proper Foundation

When it’s time to replace your rickety mattresses, we know it might be tempting to save a little money by reusing your old boxsprings. But don’t, because each new mattress needs a new boxspring (also referred to as two words: box spring) that matches it in size, style and age.

Every mattress requires a solid foundation. Even a top-of-the-line mattress can’t perform at its best if you don’t use the appropriate base. While boxsprings may not show their age as much as mattresses, they do experience wear and tear over the years, making it difficult to fulfill their role as mattress support. The cloth may start tearing and the springs might poke through. You wouldn’t build a house on a shaky foundation, right? Neither should you spend a third of your life on a mattress that is not properly supported. A wonderful night of rest is hard to come by without a solid, substantial foundation.

People usually just think about mattresses when shopping for a new sleep surface, but boxsprings are equally important. You need to invest in a new one every time you purchase a new mattress. Even if your existing boxspring is technically the correct size, it is probably more worn out on the inside than you realize and can hinder the performance of your new mattress. (Some brands even require you buy boxsprings from them or else the warranty is void.)

Before making the purchase, consider how much space you have to maneuver in your home and/or apartment building. Mattresses are flexible, but boxsprings are not. Therefore if you have narrow hallways and stairwells but want a Queen mattress or larger, invest in split boxsprings. At Coast to Coast Mattress, we can help you find the right foundation for your new mattress. With luxury name brands at low prices, free and fast delivery, and everyday boxspring sale prices, you won’t have to go anywhere else to achieve a peaceful night’s sleep.
