How to get a boxspring off the floor.
A benefit of a box spring is the added height to your bed.
My partner and i share a hand me down queen mattress and a wooden box spring.
Money is really tight.
Is there a cheap way we can get mattress and box bring off.
However this means you need to take into account the total height of both the box spring and mattress.
Other than placing your mattress on the floor a platform bed is the lowest profile option for your mattress.
I want to get the box spring and mattress off the floor without buying a bed frame.
The two most common box spring heights are a standard 9 inch box spring and a low profile 5 inch box spring with the popularity of memory foam toppers and high profile deluxe mattresses the addition.
You could also set a box spring directly on the floor and place your mattress on top but most often people choose to put a box spring on a metal bed frame in order to lift the sleeping area higher off the ground.
Plan for your desired bed height.
Platform beds typically stand only about 18 high as compared to an average bed height of 25 or antique beds which can sit as high as 36 off the floor.
By comparison a standard box spring and mattress elevates the mattress a mere 16 to 18 inches off the floor a little beneath the height of a chair seat.
We re sick of sleeping so close to the floor but we don t have the disposable money to buy a bed frame at this moment.
