Talk:Box-spring

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It would be good if someone could add the history of the box spring. When did they first come into usage? What were they first made of? Who were the major manufacturers, etc.?

I would also like to know the various heights for a box-spring. Is 8 inch standard? Can you get 5 inch? 3 inch?

Also, how long does a typical box-spring last? Should it be changed with the mattress?

And it might be smart to let consumers know that they do not necessarily need to buy the box spring with the mattress to retain whatever warranty they may have with the mattress. Trust the manufacturer for warranty details, not the sales force.
