box springs
Bed frame support
Box springs are a type of bed foundation consisting of a wooden frame containing metal springs, covered in fabric.
They sit beneath a mattress to provide support and absorb shock.
The construction elevates the mattress and extends its life by distributing weight.
The mattress came with a matching set of box springs.
Modern alternatives include platform beds and solid foundations.
