We need a new bed. We’ve always had beds with box springs, but we’ve noticed the trend for no box springs. If you have no box spring, is the bed comfortable? What brand do you like?
I guess we would need a new frame if we go without a box spring. And I would have to stop using my box spring skirt. lol?

We just bought a new bed that can be used without a boxspring. However, even though we have a deep mattress we found that without the boxspring it was too low for us. Our current box spring made it too high so we had to play musical box springs until we hit the right height.
The bed has an upholstered frame and headboard so we ditched our bed skirt and puffy duvet for a more modern coverlet/bedspread that covers the mattress and boxspring but shows off the frame and really like this update.
Good luck with finding your new bed!

We don't have box springs.. we used to have a Sleep Number bed until it bit the dust. We use that frame and works fine.

We have a bed with slats that does not require (and the headboard and footboard would be too short with) a box spring. We chose it because we didn't think we could get a non flexible box spring up our small staircase. We also got one of those king mattresses in a box that expands. I do use a dust ruffle. It is a pain to put on without being able to slide it between the box and mattress, but it works.

We don’t have a box spring for our tempurpedic mattress; the mattress sits on the adjustable platforms. The bed isn’t bouncy—I can’t even feel DH getting in and out of bed. I love it and hate hotel mattress now.
The bed frame hides the bases so there’s no need for a dust skirt. The guest room has a similar set up, but the bed frame shows. I use a black skirt because DD has some of her old stuff under there.

I have a metal like platform bed without bx springs and yes it's comfy. It's even an old mattress. I replaced my tall bed with this platform last year and have zero regrets.

Also check to see if not having box springs affect the warranty

Yeah, that would be another change. We have a tall bed right now. I am short, so I don't need a tall bed, but I am used to it. |

3 of the 4 beds in our house lack boxsprings - my bed is the exception.
DD17's twin bed has a bunkie board under the mattress
guest bed 1 is a vintage wooden frame with wood slats and a memory foam mattress in a box
guest bed 2 is a different vintage wooden frame with wood slats and an Ikea mattress - it's a hybrid with springs and memory foam

I never saw a box spring before I came to the US ,in Europe I don’t think nobody has them and our beds are very comfortable too.

I don't even really understand the purpose of a box spring ... so I guess my opinion is that my non-box spring bed is comfy without it! Our mattress is from a Canadaian company called Zed Bed, and it's a foam one.

I haven’t had box springs since 2008. No problems with comfort here, I have a Westin Heavenly Bed.

Our mattress is from a Canadaian company called Zed Bed, and it's a foam one. It is for indoor trampoline practice for the kids. 🤣 Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I’ll check them out! |

I loved my sleep number and until I can afford another I’m using a mattress and a frame with slats and it’s fine.

I have a latex mattress and use a frame with wood slats (no box spring). I love the frame because it's high enough to put storage boxes underneath.

We recently got a new bed for DS. I ordered a box spring with the mattress and at first wasn't sure if that was a mistake because it wasn't needed with the frame. However, we do like it better with the box spring/foundation since it makes it a more normal bed height.
