In the Scandinavian box spring bed, a so-called topper is also placed/The mat made of virgin wool, horsehair, cold foam, viscoelastic material or latex is to increase the sleeping comfort and the mattress underneath should be spared boxspring-5 Box spring beds stand on feet to ensure the necessary air circulation Advantages of box spring beds The layering of the three mattresses gives the bed a comfort height that makes it easier for older people to get in and out. The elaborately designed backrest makes reading or breakfast in bed very pleasant. A box spring bed ensures a steady air circulation through its mattress and thus does not allow liquids to penetrate, but dissipates them through the air. In addition, it is almost impossible for reclining chairs to be created in bed. In contrast to a conventional bed with a combination of mattress and slatted base, you cannot adjust the hardness of the box spring bed via the slatted slat. Good box spring beds are offered in different degrees of hardness – usually from H1 (very soft) to H4 (very firm). Fake box spring beds and alternatives A good box spring bed is an investment for life. However, since it is very expensive, more and more fake box spring beds are offered at a reasonable price lately. However, they only mimic the design with a high headboard and upholstery, but do not use feathers in the box, but only a simple wooden panel – no comparable comfort! If you don't like to reach so deep into your pocket, box-spring mattresses may be an alternative. They consist of two Bonnell or spring cores, which are located in a mattress and can be up to 35 cm high. We can recommend e.g. the popular mattress "emma", which we have already presented here. A boxspring slatted base has an additional suspension made of Bonnell springs and a foam cover. This double suspension creates a similar feeling of lying as with a box spring bed. https://5e3bc5f396934.site123.me In a box spring bed test*, in which criteria such as the sleeping climate, skin-friendly materials, durability and a balanced price-performance ratio were examined, the declared test winner is the box spring bed "Storebror" from Lövgren – it convinced the testers despite its low price with excellent quality and noble Scandinavian design/All images: Bett Storebror/Bild-Credits: Dormando
