Pillow top queen mattress and box spring

Q: Is it better to have box springs with a mattress?

For the most part, box springs arent really necessary. However, box springs are a good match for spring mattresses because the coils in a box spring will align with the coils in your innerspring mattress. This makes the mattress feel softer and can help isolate motion and enhance its support.
