Fact #1. Box springs provide two key benefits. The first is that they elevate the bed. This makes it easier to get into and out of, especially for the elderly or infirm. The second is that they reduce mattress wear. This is because of the springs. The metal coil absorbs shocks from getting on or off the mattress.

Fact #2. There are also peripheral benefits. A mattress laid directly on the ground can't be used as a makeshift couch. Watching TV, or even just hanging out, is harder without a box spring. They also take impact better. The springs are meant to absorb shocks. Plus, they support a mattress on a bed frame. Putting one directly onto a frame is going to cause significant sagging. This is bad for the long term usability of both bed and frame.

Fact #3. The market for box springs is versatile. Sleepers with chemical sensitivities can find hypoallergenic models. People who expect they might need to move can opt for a split box spring. You can even make choices in the height or density of coils, per your preference.

Fact #4. Springs have been in mattresses for over 150 years. That might seem impressive. But the earliest known evidence of bedding was found in South Africa. It's somewhere around 77,000 years old. It was a collection of plants used to soften the ground for sleep. But it also included plants that kept away certain insects, like malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

Fact #5. The phrase "sleep tight" used to be literal. Beds laid directly on the ground attracted mice and other pests. In the 14th century, the best way to lift up beds was with ropes. Those ropes would become loose over time. Thus the need to tie them again, so as not to fall out onto the ground.
