Find more about mattresses

A mattress is a piece of bedding typically consisting of multiple layers of foams and fibers, along with an innerspring unit used to provide support to one's back during sleep. Mattresses are usually used along with a box-spring, made of metal springs or torsion bars on a wooden frame, which supports the mattress and reduces wear and tear.

A box spring is a wooden frame, containing springs or some other form of torsion and covered in cloth. It is placed beneath a mattress. A box spring raises a mattress making it easier to get in and out of bed, and it reduces wear on the mattress.

Some beds do not require a box spring, but most traditional metal-frame or four-post beds do.
