Box Foundations
Foundations are a relatively affordable option and offer a large selection to choose from. From easily assembled foldable metal platform bed bases and lower foundation models to an array of foundation height and available built-in storage options.
A foundation will generally utilize a metal or wooden bed base with slats across its top. You can adjust the spacing to help add a firmer or softer comfort level. Less space between your foundation’s slats are recommended to add support and less motion when adjusting in your bed.
Unlike adjustable bases, foundations are compatible with just about every type of mattress available at Metro Mattress. They are also generally lighter, making them easier to move or store if necessary. Their supportive structure also helps keep your mattress from sagging which could damage its lifespan and impact your sleep negatively.
