    Box springs allow your mattress to be at an acceptable height to get into at night and they give it a flat, firm surface. They also absorb shock and reduce wear. Buying new box springs is always a good idea when you purchase a new mattress, according to themattresslink.com website. (See References 1) Your old box springs may be worn in areas and will age your new mattress faster by not giving it the proper support.

    On the Other: Special Mattresses

    Some mattresses do not require box springs, such as an air mattress that is only used for guests, or futon mattresses that have special frames that hold them. These take up little space and are very convenient to have as extra bedding.

    Bottom Line

    Getting new box springs will protect the investment you make in your new mattress. Mattresses are not cheap and are designed to last 10 to 20 years, so do not pinch pennies over a set of new box springs.
