The Wooden Frame<br />
Different types of box springs use<br />
different types of wood. Higher<br />
end box springs are made with<br />
hardwood, which can last several<br />
years. Less expensive box<br />
springs are typically framed with<br />
plywood, which can start to deteriorate<br />
in as little as two years.<br />
The Coils<br />
The coils in a box spring are<br />
usually the reason a box spring is<br />
past its prime. The coils are the<br />
main component of a box spring,<br />
absorbing most of the shock that<br />
occurs when there is movement<br />
on your mattress. If your box<br />
spring is sagging, that’s a clear<br />
sign that the coils are the issue.<br />
The Fabric<br />
Just like the fabric on your<br />
clothes, the material covering<br />
your box spring can deteriorate<br />
over time. Frequent moving of<br />
the box spring, broken coils, and<br />
repeated pressure on the box<br />
spring could cause the fabric to<br />
tear.<br />
HOW YOU KNOW YOU NEED A<br />
BOX SPRING REPLACEMENT<br />
If your sleep is becoming more<br />
uncomfortable, you can see your<br />
box spring sagging, or there’s<br />
other visible damage, it’s time to<br />
replace your box<br />
spring. It’s also<br />
a good rule of<br />
thumb to replace<br />
your box spring<br />
at the same time<br />
you replace your<br />
mattress.<br />
