Boxspring beds buying advice: what should I look for when buying a boxspring bed?

Boxspring beds are in vogue – not only in the USA or Scandinavia, but also in Germany. A wide variety of manufacturers have adapted to this trend. That is why you will find many different box spring beds on the market at very different prices. To find the right box spring bed for your personal needs, we recommend that you take advantage of expert advice and try out for yourself what suits you best. As experts for box spring beds, we at FENNOBED give you some advice here in advance for buying the right box spring bed.

Check the structure

Due to its special appearance, the box spring bed already stands out visually from the slatted bed. Some manufacturers have taken advantage of this and charge an overpriced price for beds with a slatted frame in box-spring look. Therefore, make sure that the bed really does have the typical structure with an innerspring box and box-spring mattress.

Avoid the price trap

The box spring bed mattress is the counterpart to the normal mattress in the construction of the bed. Thanks to a barrel spring system, it absorbs the pressure of lying down with pinpoint accuracy and adapts perfectly to the body – for uniquely floating sleeping comfort. Good quality has its price – you will hardly find a high-quality, durable box spring bed for 500 euros. Nevertheless, excellent box spring beds are also available at affordable prices. At FENNOBED, we manufacture in our own factory and can therefore offer you excellent value for money. Our MATRI bed collection includes the more affordable Kaino and Cassia box spring beds, the particularly comfortable Aurea Continental box spring bed and the electrically adjustable Suvia motorised bed.

Materials: Look for quality seals

You will spend many comfortable hours in your bed. It is therefore worthwhile to pay attention to the highest quality of all materials. At FENNOBED, we only use materials manufactured and certified in the EU by selected suppliers – this claim also includes our partners for textiles and accessories. In this way, our beds offer you a healthy environment and restful sleep for you and your family. Stiftung Warentest also recognised this and named our Continental Aurea box spring bed the test winner (Test 09/16). And of course, our quality promise applies to every box spring bed: We offer a 10-year guarantee on frame and spring breakage.

Optimal choice of firmness & springing

The right mattress firmness is crucial for a restful night’s sleep. However, how hard or soft a mattress feels depends not only on the actual firmness level, but also on the springing. A comfort topper also influences how your bed feels. When choosing your box spring bed, look for a Bonnell underspringing and a barrel pocket springing in the box spring bed mattress – because the high-quality, multiple springing ensures that you lie optimally supported. In order to determine the optimal combination of bed model, mattress and comfort topper, we recommend that you take advantage of the advice in a specialist shop and ideally try it out yourself.

Visit a shop specialising in box spring beds

Degree of hardness, materials and springing ¬- when buying a box spring bed, you can decide on many details yourself. To ensure that your box spring bed ultimately suits you and your needs, we recommend a visit to a shop specialising in box spring beds. Here you will receive competent advice and can benefit from many years of experience and expertise. Our staff will take enough time for you to incorporate your personal wishes into the composition of a suitable box spring bed. The possibility to try out different models is a matter of course for us. Unfortunately, this time-consuming and individual consultation is often neglected in large furniture stores. At FENNOBED you also benefit from services that most online retailers or furniture stores cannot offer you: We are still there for you after the purchase. Should something ever be defective on your box spring bed, we can provide you with comprehensive advice and replace individual elements if necessary. In addition, many of our showrooms offer you a cleaning service for comfort toppers and bed textiles.

Test a box spring bed

A box spring bed may look smart in a shop window or in a picture on the internet, but when you set it up at home, it no longer meets your expectations in terms of comfort and appearance. To avoid such time-consuming purchases, we recommend that you try out the comfort and quality of a box spring bed in advance. On site, you will also receive detailed and expert advice and can ask all your questions.
