Uses |
Standard Profile |
8” - 9” |
The standard profile box is the most common height for a foundation. |
Low Profile |
4 ½ ” - 5 ½” |
At this height this box spring can make your bed a bit easier to get into. |
Split |
8” - 9” |
This foundation, at a height of 8 to 9 inches, is often used when a bit of maneuvering is necessary for a king and queen size mattress. All king and California king mattresses use a split box spring. |
Standard Frame |
7 ¼” |
A standard frame is a steel frame that must have center support in king and queen sizes. |
Low Profile Frame |
4 ¼” |
This is a steel frame that lowers the height of the mattress so as to not cover a low-sitting headboard. |
