Box spring bed too soft - What you can do about it!

If your box spring bed is too soft, it can quickly have unpleasant consequences for your health and lead to pain in the back, hips, and neck. Your body is not adequately supported, which can cause tension. Moreover, the spine may bend in the worst case.

The permanent solution for better sleep on a too-soft mattress is to purchase a new one. However, with these tips and tricks, you can counteract the uncomfortable lying sensation of your box spring bed at its core and improve the support function. In our guide, you will learn everything you need to know.

Enhance your lying comfort with a topper 

Box spring beds, due to their construction, offer a softer sleeping experience compared to other types of beds. With a topper, you can subsequently influence the comfort of your box spring bed. In many cases, this solves the problem. Typically, toppers are used on the bed frame to make the bed softer.

So if you are looking for something firm, you should pay special attention to the material of the topper. Viscose is rather unsuitable in this case and has the opposite effect. A cold foam topper provides you with firmer support for your weight and more comfortable comfort.

Note: Your body will adjust to each bed and individual mattresses anew, and this process can take several weeks. For this, lie comfortably in the middle of the topper. On the spring core of the box spring bed, for example, you will then enjoy a unique feeling of tranquility.

What you should pay attention to before purchasing

Are you uncomfortable on your mattress and nothing helps to achieve a better sleep experience with good ergonomics? Are you suffering from the hammock effect? Then it's time for a new mattress or a firmer topper to eliminate your sleep problems. This will ensure greater sleeping comfort in your preferred lying position. You should consider these factors when making a purchase:

Test the firmness before purchasing

You should test your mattress thoroughly before purchasing, by trying it out or even sleeping on it. This way, you avoid choosing a softness level that is too soft.

If you have questions about durability and more, feel free to seek advice on which mattress is best suited for you. With us, you can buy a new box spring bed that truly suits you.

Depending on body weight and material (such as foam), a different option is suitable for cozy nights in bed. These types of firmness levels are available for restful sleep:

• H1: Up to 60 kg
• H2: Up to 80 kg 
• H3: Up to 110 kg 
• H4: Up to 140 kg 
• H5: From 140 kg

In addition to choosing the firmness level, the sleeping position and potential stress are also selection criteria for the properties of your mattress or base. Particularly a side sleeper should opt for a softer option for better adaptation. Back sleepers sleep best on firmer variants.

In addition, people with allergies should ensure that the mattress has protection against mites.

Your mattress is sagging: Is it due to age?

After prolonged use by one person, the surface of your box spring mattress may become worn and a depression can form. The resilience and firmness of the sleeping surface diminish, even with high-quality materials, and back pain is possible. It then feels as if you are lying on a board. At this point, you should consider replacing it for a better sleeping experience in your beds.

Tip: According to experts, a mattress generally has a lifespan of 10 years. This is usually shorter than that of your bed's box. Therefore, you should consider replacing it sooner or later - at the latest when mold occurs due to insufficient ventilation.

During pregnancy, a particularly firm version with high strength is a great support, as sleep needs change temporarily.
