Can i put an air mattress on a box spring.
As most box springs come with a cover you won t need any fabric to prevent the springs or wood from puncturing your air mattress and to ensure the proper grip.
I seen an air mattress at costco and am thinking of putting it on top of my box springs.
This type is also known as a pragma platform.
If this can t be done can i just buy a mattress only and place on the box springs i have now.
From my experience putting an air mattress on a box spring that is placed directly on the floor can work too.
However if your box spring is too dilapidated resting a new mattress on top can cause discomfort and shorten the life of your new purchase.
The mattress is worn out and has to go.
If you do not want to go through the hassle of these diy projects you can simply purchase ready made air mattress bed frames.
Your existing box spring if you already own a box spring chances are you ve considered just placing your new mattress on top and calling it a day.
After all doing so is the easiest way to save money.
