Thinking of using a too firm mattress as a box spring

We bought a really firm mattress in March, that we've decided is too hard, even with a topper. 

We replaced it yesterday ~ I'm wondering if we'd be better off using that really firm mattress as a box spring instead of the box spring that came with the firm mattress.

I called the store and the salesman told me it was a bad idea.

I concur  that this is not a good idea - too likely to sag and not give you the support you want.
