Does the Silk & Snow Mattress Need A Box Spring?

Derek Hales

Published

No, you do not need a box spring, but you do need a solid, non-flexing foundation.

Silk & Snow mattresses require consistent, flat support to prevent sagging and ensure the warranty remains valid.

To ensure that you don’t void your Silk & Snow mattress warranty, your best options are:

  • Platform Beds: A solid wooden or metal surface.
  • Slatted Frames: As long as the slats are no more than 3 inches apart. If they are wider, the foam can dip between them, causing permanent damage.
  • Adjustable Bases: Silk & Snow mattresses are flexible and fully compatible with motorized adjustable frames.
