Box Spring Alternatives

RE: Box Spring Alternatives By wwdotsis (4) Contact Do you have access to the plastic milk crates that grocery stores recieve their milk packed in? The milk manufactors ship 4 gallons of milk in each crate. The crates are very strong and turned upside down and connected with pipe cleaners are zip ties are very strong and will create a flat surface for the mattress to lay on. I don't know how many it would take to create the surface needed to lay your mattress on but it would work. The crates are usually available at any grocery store just ask them if you can have them.

It's build out of 2 x 4's that are bolted together. My mattress sits directly on top of 2 pieces of plywood. I've added a piece of memory foam (then egg-crate foam) to the top of my mattress & put a stack of 6 inch tiles that are taped together under the legs for extra height. You can also use bricks or concrete blocks (or even a stack of magazines that are taped together) under the bed to lift it up. I've had this bed since 1987 & I just love the way the mattress doesn't sag like it would on box springs! It's not hard like you'd think. Posted on 05/18/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
