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? |

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
