Box springs are a specific type of mattress foundation. Like some other types of foundations, box springs absorb help excess pressure placed upon the mattress. In this way, the box spring plays an important role in both providing the sleeper with additional support and extending the life of the mattress.
See our Mattress Foundation Guide for more details on box springs, as well as other types of mattress foundations.
