Flat Mattress Foundations

A flat foundation, also known as a box foundation or box spring (without springs), provides a solid, supportive base for your mattress. It helps maintain mattress shape, improves durability, and ensures even weight distribution for a more comfortable sleep.

Flat foundations are compatible with most mattress types, including memory foam, innerspring, and hybrid models. Always check the mattress manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure proper support and warranty compliance.
