WHAT DOES BEDSPRING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

bedspring

Box-spring

A box-spring is a type of bed base typically consisting of a sturdy wooden frame covered in cloth, and containing springs. Usually the box-spring is placed on top of a wooden or metal bedframe which sits on the floor and acts as a brace. The box-spring is usually the same size as the much softer mattress which is placed above the box-spring. Working together, the frame, box-spring, and mattress make up a bed. It is common to find a box-spring and mattress being used together without the support of a frame underneath, the box spring being mounted directly on casters standing on the floor. Queen size box-spring on metal bed frame The purpose of the box-spring is threefold: ▪ to raise the mattress' height, making it easier to get in and out of bed; ▪ to absorb shock and reduce wear to the mattress; and ▪ to create a flat and firm structure for the mattress to lie upon. The first rectangular spring-cushioned wire frames to support mattresses did not have wood rims or cloth covers. These were called bedsprings. More and more box-springs are being made out of wood, then covered in fabrics.
