Just loose the box springs...you'll never miss them.

Second this. Box springs are worthless and add no comfort.

How would loosening the box spring lower the bed?

Yeah, no ****. This one has to be damn near at the top of my pet peeve
list.

Yes.

Then there's "breath" for "breathe".

This could go on forever. The following is copied from a discussion just
this morning;

... noone is saying someone died. Just that they could of. Your not to smart
judgeing from your first statement and I'm sure NASA is much smarter then
you.

"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo."

Forget the homo-what you may call its.

Back on topic.

We bought a new set (box spring and mattress) recently. Noticing how
deep the two items are elected to put it on the carpeted floor.

Advantages: You don't need one of those metal 'bed frame things with
large casters on each corner, etc.) They so often stick out and are a
hazard to feet, especially bare ones! There is no space under the bed
which can accumulate dust/cobwebs etc.
Bed including the central wooden 'spine' of the box spring is firmly
supported directly on the floor. Not on the central metal piece of
aforementioned 'bed frame'.

Disadvantages:There is no toe space around the bed, so until one
learns not to stub toe getting into bed! The lack of space (gap) under
is loss of storage space. We found an unused kitchen table and its
legs laid flat and also a tin box with some older money under the old
bed! Which now have to be stored elsewhere!

Son bought a new bed almost same time, but it came with bed frame
included; won't say 'free bed-frame' although Sears advertise it as
such! But his cost quite a bit more than ours which appears to be the
almost the same product, but from a big box store?

So FWIW; put the bottom of the box-spring on the floor and save a few
(maybe about six) inches of height. Age 75 here no problems, in on or
out of bed!
