]]> Comment on Do I need to buy a box spring also when I buy a "Serta 8-inch Queen-size Memory Foam Mattress"? by Melissa M http://www.topfoammattress.com/queen-foam-mattress/do-i-need-to-buy-a-box-spring-also-when-i-buy-a-serta-8-inch-queen-size-memory-foam-mattress/comment-page-1#comment-1152 Melissa M Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:55:59 +0000 http://www.topfoammattress.com/queen-foam-mattress/do-i-need-to-buy-a-box-spring-also-when-i-buy-a-serta-8-inch-queen-size-memory-foam-mattress#comment-1152 I hope that I have caught you before you purchased that frame from overstock.com. 1. Metal frames do require a boxspring (also known as a foundation.) 2. That metal frame does not have a center support, which is required on all queen mattress sets. (if there is no center support you will void your warranty.) Now if you are just wanting to save money by not buying the boxspring, I would suggest switching to a lower priced boxspring. The serta warranty only requires that the mattress have proper support, and therefore any boxspring they carry, will provide adequate support. If the reason you do not want a boxspring is because of the height you can purchase a lo- profile boxspring. It will be the same price, but they are only about 5 inches tall, instead of the standard 9 inches.<br><b>References : </b><br>Store manager, mattress store I hope that I have caught you before you purchased that frame from overstock.com.

I never have a problem with my memory foam mattress feeling too firm from this. The only time it happens is if we leave for a few days with the heat turned down to 55 degrees.

Since memory foam is temperature sensitive, it will become firmer in a cold room

Memory foam mattresses made from American foam don’t tend to sleep hot like those made from foreign foam. There are also waterproof mattress protectors that not only aid in cooling you while you sleep, they are also dust mite resistant and anti-microbial.

You may be tossing and turning, primarily, to lose heat but you may also be developing pressure points from your current mattress that will be greatly diminished by memory foam. You may toss less with memory foam which will allow you to wake more refreshed.
