I'm buying a new mattress. What's the difference b/w a boxspring and a split box spring?

Answer 1

larger mattresses offer what is called a split box spring... where it is in two pieces instead of one. This is done for ease of moving it in and out.
They sit on the bed frame and give no troubles at all... you won't know a difference once it is set up.

Answer 2

I'm not positive on this but I believe a split box spring is one that comes in two pieces and is for bigger beds (ie., king and california king, also possibly queen). The only advantage to this is that it's easier to transport when you move. You can't tell the difference when you're laying on the bed because the mattress is still one piece. A split box spring looks like two twin box springs next to each other, I think.

It should still be under warranty, contact Serta. If it sags more than one inch, they should replace it. I assume you bought the mattress and box springs together. If not, it voids the warranty. It shouldn't sag like this after only four years, especially a no-flip mattress, unless you used different box- springs not made for that mattress. Are you sure it is no-flip? Or, could it be a 'flip-if-you-want-to" mattress? They do exist but salespeople usually sell them as no-flip. If it has pillowtop on both sides, go ahead and flip it. Or, you could rotate it for better comfort. I would definitely contact Serta if under warranty. The split box springs should not cause this, so long as they are Serta and made for your mattress. Always buy box springs and mattress together. Each mattress is built in a different way. You actually NEED the proper box springs to get the most life out of your mattress. Plus, the warranty again. If you buy new, I suggest the Tempurpedic. It has a 20 year warranty, and they don't wear out. They also offer a trial period. If you don't like it you can send it back, no questions asked. They are, by far, best for your back and comfy. The drawback is that they are hard to get used to and expensive. They are not really that expensive, considering you get a long, long life out of them. You just have to pay more in the beginning. If I can help, email me.

Answer 5

Standard Split Box Spring

Answer 6

A split box spring is easier to move into small spaces. Instead of having one large wooden frame you'll get two sections. You can get these for queen,king, and California king size beds. I have a queen size bed and I'm very happy to have a split frame. You won't be able to tell the difference under your mattress. The only thing you'll notice is how much easier it is to get into your room.

Answer 7

A split box spring is for hard to reach areas or if the bedroom is around a tight corner, for example. You can't bend a regular box spring without busting it or wrecking the wall. 2 pieces is much easier.

Answer 8

Mostly price... you wont "feel" much of a difference.

...and one thing I noticed that is a plus, when we "rotate" bedding, it sure is a lot easier when they're split!
