Editing Box-spring (section)

== Purpose ==

The purpose of a box-spring mainly lies in the trade-off between ventilating the bed through the bottom and the structural stability of the box-spring itself.

===  Other Purposes ===
The box-spring has a variety of advantages and purposes. Purposes include:
* elevating the mattress above the ground, increasing the ease of getting into bed and getting out of [[bed]];
* Providing ventilation and allowing body moisture to escape, reducing the growth of mold and mildew due to moisture retention;
* Creating a relatively flat and firm structure for the mattress to lie upon;
* Enhancing aesthetics or design-style value.
