King Split Box Springs

A king box spring is almost always built as two split halves (each 38″ × 80″ — the same footprint as a Twin XL) that sit side by side under your king mattress (76″ × 80″). The split design makes a large king foundation easy to deliver, carry up stairs and set up, and it's exactly what a split-king adjustable base needs so each side can raise and lower independently.

How to Choose the Right Box Spring Profile Height

The most important decision when buying a box spring is selecting the correct profile height for your bed setup. A standard-profile box spring (7–9″) pairs with a metal bed frame to bring your sleep surface to a traditional 24–26″ height — ideal if you don’t use a headboard or footboard. A low-profile box spring (4–5″) is designed for thicker mattresses (12″+) or platform-style bed frames where you need to keep overall height in check. For the lowest possible profile, NM® platform foundations stand just 2″ tall and work well inside panel beds or with extra-thick pillow-top mattresses.

All box springs at National Mattress use solid wood frames built from kiln-dried spruce, pine, or fir (SPF) lumber with steel wire support grids and non-skid top fabric to prevent mattress shifting. Split box springs are available in Queen and King sizes from every brand — essential when a one-piece foundation won’t fit up narrow staircases or around tight corners. Every box spring ships with a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty, and NM® and Springwall models are manufactured in Canadian factories.

Frequently Asked Questions About Box Springs

What size box spring do I need for my mattress?
Match your box spring size to your mattress size exactly — a Queen mattress requires a Queen box spring. National Mattress carries box springs in Single/Twin, Twin XL, Double/Full, Queen, and King sizes. For King and Queen, split box springs are available when one-piece delivery isn’t feasible.
Do I need a box spring, or can I use a platform bed instead?
A box spring is required when using a metal bed frame without built-in slats. If you have a platform bed or slatted base, a box spring is optional but still adds height and shock absorption. Most mattress warranties require either a box spring or a compatible foundation — placing a mattress directly on the floor can void coverage.
What is the difference between a standard and low-profile box spring?
A standard-profile box spring is 7–9″ tall and brings your bed to a traditional height when paired with a standard bed frame. A low-profile box spring (4–5″) reduces overall bed height by 3–4″, which is ideal for thicker mattresses, shorter sleepers, or anyone who prefers a lower sleep surface.
Does my box spring need a bed frame?
Yes. A box spring should always sit on a bed frame or inside a panel/sleigh bed for proper support. Queen and King box springs require a frame with a centre support bar to prevent sagging. Placing a box spring directly on the floor restricts airflow, which can promote mould growth and void your warranty.
What brands of box springs does National Mattress carry?
National Mattress stocks box springs from seven brands: NM®, Springwall, Serta, Sealy, Beautyrest, Stearns & Foster, and Tempur-Pedic. Prices range from $50 to $520 depending on brand, size, and profile height. NM® box springs start at $105 and offer the widest selection with standard, low-profile, and platform options in every size.
Do box springs from National Mattress ship free across Canada?
Yes. National Mattress offers free express delivery across Canada on orders over $199. Since most box spring and mattress combinations exceed this threshold, delivery is typically free. All box springs arrive fully assembled — no setup required.
