What is a box spring?
A box spring is a bed base containing metal coils inside to promote airflow. A box spring's purpose is to create a barrier between the mattress and bed, helping to extend the mattress’s life by absorbing some of the shock. A box spring also offers more support and adds height to your bed.
Box spring vs platform bed
When choosing between a platform bed and a box spring, it often comes down to personal preference and design aesthetic. A platform bed offers a sleek, modern look with its low-to-the-ground design, creating a minimalist appeal that complements contemporary spaces. On the other hand, a box spring adds height to your mattress, giving your bed a more traditional feel. The construction of a box spring, typically made with a sturdy wooden frame and springs or metal coils, provides additional support and can enhance the overall comfort of your mattress. Whether you prefer the streamlined appearance of a platform bed or the elevated presence of a box spring, both options bring unique characteristics to your bedroom design.
What is a box spring cover?
A box spring cover is a protective layer that wraps around your box spring, keeping it clean and free from dust. Beyond its practical purpose, it also adds a polished look to your bed by coordinating with your bedding. Box spring covers are typically tailored and simple, offering a neat, unfussy appearance that blends seamlessly with any bedroom decor. They’re a great way to protect your box spring while giving your bed a more cohesive and finished look.
With a range of colors and patterns, our box spring covers can help blend in the box spring or make a statement.
New design
The new box spring cover design features only the sides, with a small lip that sits on the box spring. This creates a sleek, minimalist look while still providing coverage for the visible parts of the box spring.
The benefit of this design is that it stays secure and in place longer. Without a fabric across the entire top, it is less prone to be slipped out of place by a shifting mattress or when bedding is being changed. If it does shift out of place, only a small portion of the upper lip will be revealed and, as the lip is in the same fabric, it will not stand out.
Cleaning
Cleaning the box spring cover is simple and easy. To keep it looking fresh, just lightly vacuum the sides to remove any dust, hair, or debris that may have accumulated.
