box-spring

Bed frame insert

A box-spring is a bed foundation consisting of a wooden frame containing springs, covered in fabric, designed to support a mattress.

The springs absorb shock and extend mattress life.

Box-springs sit on a bed frame, with the mattress on top: The old box-spring squeaked every time she turned over.
