Do you long for perfect sleep too? Then the boxspring bed should not escape your attention. It differs from conventional beds by its unique construction, which combines two mattresses. The upper part can also be fitted with a topper. However, not every bed that presents itself as a boxspring has this construction. How to tell a true boxspring from a “non-boxspring”?

Boxspring: it’s a sophisticated design with a spring base

Let’s be clear about terminology. When choosing a boxspring bed, have you come across names like American or Continental? Then know that they are one and the same bed, but referred to by different names.

The boxspring bed is named after the unique construction of the frame, the boxspring. At first glance, you can’t tell the difference between a continental bed and a classic high bed. Both have a frame and legs. But that’s where the similarities end. With a classic high bed, you’ll also choose the mattress and the mattress. In the case of a boxspring, only the mattress, as the mattress is replaced by the boxspring.

The sophisticated frame design makes the boxspring bed the most comfortable on the market. What parts does it consist of?

  • Boxspring – it is a spring base, which is embedded in the bottom of the solid frame and forms a sprung bed base. With exaggeration we can say that it is an imaginary grid. The springs serve as a ventilation and orthopaedic base for the upper support mattress.
  • Support mattress – the support mattress is selected according to the user’s requirements. It is made of various materials. You can choose natural materials, foams or springs.
  • Topper – this is a thin top mattress that makes sleeping and resting even more comfortable. It has a removable cover so it is easy to maintain. In addition, it protects the supporting mattress from dirt or damage.

With its unique combination of all parts , the boxspring bed offers the perfect rest. Thanks to the spring part, the pressure exerted on the supporting mattress is better distributed and ensures a healthy spinal position during sleep.

Another advantage of the continental bed is the height of the sleeping surface. Depending on the height of the supporting mattress, the sleeping surface can be 50-70 cm above the floor. This makes the bed easy to lie down in, but also comfortable to get out of. You do not put unnecessary strain on your knee joints.

Additional advantages of the high loading surface:

  • at a height of 50 cm from the floor, dust no longer swirls, which is appreciated not only by allergy sufferers,
  • you are protected from draughts, which are most intense near the floor,
  • with the heat rising, even the biggest of winter shivers won’t be cold in bed.

Is there a continental bed with storage?

On the market, you can come across beds with a high sleeping surface, which are presented as boxspring or American beds and also boast storage space. Is it really a true boxspring? No!

Due to the construction of the American bed, where the bottom part is filled with a spring system, there is no space left for storage. Therefore, always check whether the bed has springs in the bottom of the solid frame. If it doesn’t, or has storage space instead, it is not a true boxspring bed. Such a bed is essentially deprived of the most important part that has a significant impact on sleeping comfort.
