I have found a local source that will make 2 sided mattresses that I am happy with. In talking with them, they mentioned that today the "box spring" doesn't really function for much more than a spacer. I am not happy with the metal frames I got when I last replaced some mattresses...too light weight...and they were bought from a hotel/motel supplier, supposed to be commercial heavy duty.
I am wondering if using a "platform" type metal frame that sits 14" above the floor will work just as well. Would save me a box spring, and are heavy weight rated. I am planning using foam toppers on the mattresses that I can change as needed (love the memory foam one we got for our own bed.) Anyone done something similar?
