What is the difference between a solid foundation and a boxsprings?
A boxsprings is a unit that contains springs or other types of torsion elements. These elements allow the boxsprings to deflect or flex when weight is applied through the mattress. As solid foundation is made of wood and does not have the ability to flex or deflect. They appear the same from the outside. It is important to know which is under the mattress you are considering and why. Both have their uses under different mattress types.
