Is a mattress which is on a box spring, harder when placed flat on the floor as opposed to on a bed frame? My old bed (head and footboards with metal rails and 3 metal slats across the rails) has gotten so rickety and squeaky it was driving me nuts so I took it all apart and put the mattress and box on the floor. Is it my imagination or did it seem much firmer, to the point of uncomfortable. I was awake quite a bit although I did get some sleep.. For those who remember this is a brand new beautyrest mattress/box (bought about 3-4 weeks ago) that I'm still breaking in and tryiing to get just right, so I don't expect it to be perfect. It's just that I wouldn't have thought putting it on the floor, since it's on a boxspring (such as they are these days!! what junk!), would make a difference in the firmness. It seemed to. But since I'm still messing with mattress pad/topper configurations..I don't know. Any thoughts? Am I just imagining this? |

If you want - you can kill the squeak with petroleum jelly!

Too bad because the solid oak head and footboards are still nice..except the slots where the rails go in are worn out or something I guess, causing the ricketyness and squeaking. Nothing lasts forever. http://www.bedframeparts.com/hookplates.htm http://www.meritindustries.com/bed.htm This message was modified Oct 18, 2010 by TC2334
