This is quite common in the houses that were built generations ago. The remedy is simple; Split queen box springs. You get the same foundation in 2 separate pieces. This makes it easier for you to maneuver the foundations through tight spaces and saves a lot of damage to the walls and ceilings as well! (King size and Cal-King size sets automatically come with split box springs because of their size.)

Call us to specify a "split box" spring on your queen size order, which is an option on queen size mattress sets. This means the box spring comes in 2 "halves", each of which is easier to move through tight spaces. (King size and Cal-King size sets will come as split box springs automatically, so no action is necessary on king size sets.)

With our independent status we have a range of lifts with slim rails and compact carriages, along with folding arms, seat and footrest, When folded away they leave plenty of room for other stair users. You can arrange to see a Stairlift at our premises or at any of the exhibitions we are attending.

Mattresses offer some give for negotiating corners and low or narrow stairwells. But box springs have a wooden construction and will not bend. Purchasing split-box springs allows for better access into space-restricted dwellings. Split box springs vary by manufacturer so ask one of our sales associates for advice.

The mattress industry recommends that you replace your mattress after 8-10 years of continuous use. However, this is just a guideline as the quality of your set and the weight of the person(s) sleeping on the mattress will affect its longevity. Also, comfort preferences change over time so you may sleep better on a harder or softer mattress after a few years.

While layers of quality upholstery padding provide comfort, it is the coil springs that provide most of the support. There should be over 300 coils in a full size mattress. Coil count alone does not ensure quality support, however-the gauge of the wire is also important. The lower the gauge number, the thicker and more durable the coil (13 gauge is thicker than 15 gauge). The word "firm" can also be misleading.

Sometimes Queen and King foundations can provide a significant challenge when trying to ascend a narrow staircase. Fortunately, there is no need to bang up your wall trying to squeeze it through. Some of our manufacturers offer a "split foundation," which involves two smaller foundations instead of one large one. It is a good idea to call us if you are interested in this type of foundation.

Before you are discharged to home the physical therapist will instruct you on stair climbing. We discourage more than one flight up/down a day for several weeks. In home settings with no sleeping accommodation on the main living level, necessitating several trips up/down stairs, a hospital bed may be needed.

No, you can use a solid pedestal (like a waterbed uses), but it will make your bed even firmer, maybe even too firm.

A King size set comes standard with split box springs. Sometimes people need split box springs for a queen size, and in rare cases for a full size, in order to move it into older homes or up tight stairways. At Original Mattress Factory, we are happy to help you by manufacturing a box spring solution that will work. Split box springs offer the same support as a one-piece box spring; however, a center support is a must on your queen or full size frame when using split box springs.

Yes, you can. However, we recommend you replace the set if you are replacing one piece. The mattress and boxspring work together as a single unit. The boxpring acts as the shock absorber for the mattress. You would not buy a new car and put old tires on it, so why would you put a new mattress on an old boxspring? Back to top
