I like that new designs don't need an additional box spring. In my experience, a box spring just ends up being an extra cat scratching post.

[@JaKamps]

I've been seeing you around the comment sections for a number of videos recently. Seems like we're both looking for a new mattress! Any luck so far? I was thinking Purple or Layla, & need to know more about what I need to put them on.

[@sachs3968]

We don't have a box spring because we have a slatted platform bed frame. I actually like it without a box spring, especially when we moved frequently - one less big item to worry. This video confirmed that I don't need a box spring. Good questions and great answers! Thank you!

[@cloroxbleach5687]

I love how he jumped into the video

[@Virtessafun]

That is good to know. My furniture is needing a serious update though and a whole new bed is high on my wish list!

[@chelsweea]

I was just thinking about this when looking at mattresses so I appreciate all the info. I was in between whether or not to use one so it's great to hear what it does and doesn't do.

[@iHabika]

Can you still use a box spring on something like a nectar mattress? I LOVE my bed frame however it needs a box spring that I already have. I don’t want to have to buy a platform bed for it because I haven’t find any that I like, I just want the bed frame that I already have. I jut ordered a nectar mattress.

[@1980maranda]

I just use a platform. Never cared for box springs. Glad the new mattresses are thicker!

[@robertochoa8616]

I wish I didn't have a box spring. It's more I have to load up every time I move, but I would still buy some sort of base for a nice mattress.

[@Batfringe]

Very informative and your voice is so soothing!

[@et9570]

This was the most straightforward video regarding beds ive seen this far- i try to make educated purchases but when it came to buying a new bed- man did i feel ignorant. Thanks for this

[@TownGirl04]

Thanks. I have old fashioned and need the boxspring.

[@michaelchevillot4557]

Nice video - I use a Box Spring for the extra height. I am so used to it, that the last time I slept on a bed without one;it was really off putting and did not lend to a good night's sleep. You are 100% right about having a Box Spring elevating you further from the floor for being cleaner and healthier for the user (especially if there are furry pets in the home). I hope that everyone in SLEEPOPOLISLAND is happy, healthy and safe. Take care.

[@aliceminx1596]

Glad I watched this. I never used a box spring with my platform beds and was always wondering if that was the wrong thing to do. This answered a lot of questions for me

[@jtlinhisprime]

Thanks

[@izzyisfitt]

With how big modern mattresses are a mattress + box spring + frame would be crazy tall. My dog would never be able to jump up and idk if I'd count that as a positive or a negative :P

[@gregmeissner9960]

THIS is the best, most candid and concise video on this subject. You have answered my questions 100%, thank you!

[@Sleepopolis]

You're very welcome!

[@TheSunshineplace10]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@Sleepopolis]

You're welcome!

[@artriumph]

Great video. Can you tell me if I need a box spring for a metal bed frame with 1 approximate 4” support in the middle? Thank you.

[@coleenosmond3035]

I only use a platform bed frame so i know that i dont need a box spring based on the info from the manufacturer of the mattress and since most mattresses have support built in. I just made sure that i bought a tall platform so i didnt have to drop into bed. This was great information :) thanks for another educational video

[@jimshim]

I have a metal frame that just has some of the medal going across. Not across and vertical. Can I get away with not using a box sprint? Every mattress I want that’s nice is at least 11 inches in height. If I was to get one it would be way too tall! And I don’t feel like getting a whole new bed frame since the one I have is nice.

[@puffin4364]

I have slept without a box spring, just a mattress on the floor, and I prefer having a box spring for the height and support.

[@knightillustrations724]

I came for the knowledge but stayed for that soothing voice!!

[@Dnizzle25]

Thank you for the info now i can make a better decision on what imma do about this bed!

[@pcmacintyre]

Very informative. I am looking at a platform bed to ditch the box spring.

[@poweralleys1]

Good information especially involving all the newer types of mattresses out there

[@coffeeandcommunity]

I'm so glad I have a bed frame now that doesn't need one, it's one less piece of furniture and crap that I have to haul when I move.

[@lizzychurchill9490]

I have a plain metal frame and I have a box spring of course. But it also is a bit thicker than the ones I have had in the past, so it's a bit taller, which is great for me because I am on the taller side.

[@iam_vlo]

THIS IS SO DAMN HELPFUL I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE IT! I'm picking up a Casper Nova but they only get up to 12" in height - I prefer sleeping higher, so I'm going to pick up a low-profile box spring :) Thank you again!

[@mob7782]

don't have this but am very interested in purchasing ...

[@jaguarlady1]

oh wow sharing this with my love because his box spring just broke, and he only has a simple metal frame so he'll need a replacement, thank you!

[@Meredith47161]

I don't have a box spring. Just a mattress that's shot. Love the Purple and the Puffy. Good information tho !

[@aliciarice9617]

I really only bought one as to not void the warranty should I need it replaced

[@rm-dc6tx]

We have had a platform bed for over 20 years. While it does wear out mattresses faster, the new designed mattresses can eliminate the need for a box spring.

[@sammyrosenzweig2545]

Thanks so much for this informative video! i am looking for a new mattress and was wondering whether i would need a box spring so this was of great help

[@nikkiowens128]

Very helpful

[@Sleepopolis]

Glad it helped

[@vacationistheanswer]

Thanks for the great info....I like the box spring for the height and added support.

[@craigdorler3616]

This is very clear and helpful. Thanks!

[@libertykim6438]

But what about comfort? I put my foam mattress on the floor and by back hurts waking up. It was better on the box spring.

[@RbAgsts718]

Can I use my old box Spring??

[@Sleepopolis]

If it is still in working order then yes it's still OK to use your old box spring.

[@rachelpurdy3854]

Do box springs go bad Or get to old to use ?

[@robinweidner2402]

Well since I bought a platform bed, I find I no longer need a box spring. Thanks for the reviews

[@dataluskazan4006]

thanks that was helpful

[@Sleepopolis]

Glad it helped

[@jennm2309]

I’m buying a slatted bed frame king size. Do u think adding the box spring would be too much weight on the bed?

[@MrDonny27]

I can be your box spring

[@LegacyStar]

I don't use a box spring in my current bed setup since my frame is 14 inches tall and my mattress is 12 inches. That makes it more than tall enough for my needs.

[@flynnaz]

As always great information. I really learn a lot from this channel. Thanks for spreading all the sleep knowledge

[@carriemel1]

Thank you for this video. I am always wondering about this.

[@sethkarim5786]

I don’t think you need a box spring unless you are using old school innerspring mattresses. I haven’t used a box spring since i moved to all-foam/hybrid mattresses and never slept better

[@bhaynesk]

thank you

[@carolinedeal8634]

This was a very helpful and clear video, keep it up!

[@dianeevans4099]

Wow, very informative. I will always need my box spring unless I put more slats on the bed frame. I do like how high it makes my bed and makes it also harder for my dogs to jump up on it. Great video!

[@sammyrosenzweig2545]

Thank you so much ! i was wondering if i need a boxspring/ what it would do for me. really appreciate the info

[@maddlove7269]

I have a mattress over a year old I do not have a box spring but, I'm wondering if I need one cause where I sit on my mattress, it is gettin flat & my mattress is on metal board. What should I do?

[@barrymargolin6962]

Thanks for the information. In my opinion, a box spring is great for height variance and ease of getting in and out of the bed and the longevity of a mattress. As the cost of a mattress has increased, the cost and investment should be protected, for better sleep.

[@craigslocum9172]

I have a memory foam mattress, but I also use a box spring because I like the height of the bed with both

[@Petunia31]

Side sleeper. Bought (only) a mattress to get by after a move, it’s been directly on the ground for a week now. Hips are killing me and sleeping even worse than usual. Which would be the better investment, box spring or supportive frame??

[@Sleepopolis]

Supportive frame probably because you would still need to put the box spring in a frame

[@angie00718]

I have a box spring on one bed and not on the other, different beds but both comfortable

[@clarisemason5527]

Thanks. Finally clear that I don't need a box spring.

[@buneface]

This was a really helpful video. It would be wonderful to have a great mattress that really doesn't need a boxspring. I know that the one we have no is helpful to supporting our old mattress.

[@sheizm888]

Thanks. Made my life easier now that I understand

[@Sleepopolis]

Glad it helped!

[@bobbicobalt8436]

This is such an interesting topic. Great info, Cody. I have always hated the slats across the bed rails that go underneath the boxspring and platform beds make more sense. But, I love having a bed high off the floor. I actually had a pet ramp for my lab to use to get on my high bed w/out having to leap onto the bed on her own power. I can see how manufacturers want their foam mattresses on the floor or a solid platform and not on a box spring mattress.

[@gus1gus112]

I look at what the mattress manufacturer recommends. My latest mattress, a latex mattress requires slats, with 3" or less gaps between each slat. Needs to breath. Thanks for the useful information.

[@emersonsamaniego6781]

thanks for help :)

[@thegameprofit6636]

Talk about answering my questions 👍🏾

[@ProfeDylan]

Great info!

[@gabrielarosado7195]

I didn’t know my slatted platform bed didn’t need a box spring although it’s not really a box spring it is a bunkie board( is that how it’s spelled?)

[@theskincareskinny5006]

I like having a box spring, but have never tried the mattress and platform bed combo... I like the way it looks though!

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

To answer the question certain bed types do require a box spring others do not I personally don't care for box springs of platform beds both are just to damn hard I use an old bed frame that has the wire and spring that supports the mattress and offers a much more comfortable sleep

[@jenniferphillips3195]

Good information on box springs. I wouldn't have thought about how box springs can be the reason they voided a warranty until I looked into this more. I do like the height the box springs give a hybrid bed though. Makes it a bit hard to climb in, but the height makes me feel more luxurious, that's just me though.

[@floridaboyy850]

I never knew that, now wonder they try and always get you to buy it, I always like the platform beds. I am always finding out new things, lol

[@aaliyahsaunders3804]

I don't feel like my box spring is a necessity but I do enjoy the added height that it gives :)

[@jca65lb]

Are you Chip from Napoleon Dynamite? JK, this was an excellent video.

[@jimmorack1124]

i used to, but not anymore!

[@lorieoneil5423]

box springs make the bed taller, makes the structure flat and helps with motion, mattress now days have support built into them all except metal frames have enough support for a mattress. I have a box springs because I like the taller bed.

[@TikiShootah]

So that's what a box spring does...my goodness we lived in caveman time. Now mattresses have all that built in. What blows me away is bed can be in boxes now. Never owned one yet, but the concept....it's like explaining a smartphone while in the 70s and 80s. A bed...that doesn't take 4-5 ppl to move?!

[@007martini]

I prefer box springs. Esp for support and height.

[@llltrac9143]

I like box spring because I kept jamming my toe into the bed frame.

[@YasmeenorSapphire]

I’m always not sure how to clean them. I do like height though when I sleep.

[@AndreaGarcia-qd2dc]

I have a low profile box spring. I srill think I'd keep it when I get a new mattress, but I wouldn't buy a new one.

[@logancougs]

It good to know I will probably never need one again

[@maddlove7269]

* A metal frame I meant to say.

[@steph0maddox]

I need a new mattress

[@karenbergenholtz5640]

Yay

[@comesthru]

Box springs are called foundation and do not have any springs, And that for many years.

[@jorgechaux2506]

The best

[@soxster101]

Where's Logan when we need him!

[@cindyjobabymetal87METALVERSE]

actually don't place the box springs or the mattress on the floor due to bedbugs you're best off getting a collapsible frame anyway if you're going to do that crap

[@deniseecurtain7797]

sorry to say I have a olden days metal frame., womp-womp

[@sergiopabon1387]

You look like you are wearing a disguise. Thanks for the info
