So you’re ready to invest in a new mattress and improve your sleep once and for all. You’ve taken the sleep quiz, you know which Helix model is the perfect fit for you, and you’re all set to place your order.
But what kind of support do you have prepared for your mattress? Can you just keep using your old box spring once your Helix mattress arrives?
Unlike a traditional innerspring mattress that includes a more rigid internal design, Helix mattresses are made primarily with various layers of foam. Beneath the foam layers are hundreds (in some sizes, more than a thousand) of individually wrapped steel coils. This hybrid mattress design, as it’s known, requires sturdy support to avoid dipping or sagging in the surface of the mattress.
This sturdy support is so important, in fact, that it’s required in order to maintain the warranty on your Helix mattress.
So, let’s take a look at the types of bases and foundations that are required in order to properly support, and maintain the durability, of your new Helix mattress.
Speaking of Bed Frames! The Helix Bed Frame is made with hardened steel and is designed to provide additional height to your sleeping setup. It will sit at the bottom of your setup and support your Foundation, adding 7.5 inches to your overall bed height.
Please note, though, that the Helix Bed Frame has gaps of space larger than 5 inches between each support rail and cannot be used alone with your Helix mattress.
Last but not least, let’s take a look at the Madison Bed Frame, which offers all the functionality of the Helix Foundation with a touch of the minimalist aesthetic that can complete any bedroom decor.
The Madison Bed Frame, like the Foundation, uses sturdy wood slats with just under 5 inches of space between each slat to properly support each layer of your mattress.
The Bed Frame is 13 inches tall and has a tool-free assembly, plus two beautiful wood finish options.
