I was thinking about buying a new mattress for my bed, but I was wondering if I should replace the box spring as well. Do box springs get damaged over time like mattresses do?

Technically, yes. Box springs are actually made to compliment the type of mattress you have. Each one is slightly different internally. A lot of companies will even void the warranty on your mattress if you don't use the correct box spring.
However, that being said, a lot of people don't just to save a bit of money. But, if you look at prices, the box spring should be the least of your worries. :)

The box spring is there to support the mattress or it will sag in time. Also there is no support for the mattress on the bed frame, unless you put it on the floor or use plywood. Then am sure the mattress would be too hard. The box spring frame does get broken and won't support any longer. The box spring should still be ok if not broken at the frame or the springs.

Some months ago, my husband and I went looking at new mattresses. The salesman said yes, box springs can wear out and should be replaced once in a while.
I imagine the box spring wouldn't wear out quite as quickly as the mattress.

They can be purchased seperately but it is best if you buy both and does not cost that much more for the set. Yes box springs wear out too .

Dont mattresses come with box springs. I think they come in sets.

Yes they do. They compress & are not all the same after use since we lay basically in the same areas of the bed. They are the support for the mattress.

Consider firm talalay latex with a wool fleece pad. Place a 1/4" x 4' x bed width masonite wood panel toward the foot end (not under shoulder area) of your present boxspring base for more pushback support.
