Best Box Spring Alternatives for a Nectar Mattress

What kind of bed frames are suitable for memory foam mattresses? Let’s explore the compatibility of bed frames and memory foam mattresses.

1. Platform Bed

platform bed offers an even, smooth, flat surface that provides internal support and allows for extra storage underneath the bed. For instance, the Nectar Platform Bed is one great option you can consider for your room. Its arched legs give a whole retro vibe. 

2. Foundation Bed

The foundation bed frame offers immense comfort and durability. Foundation beds are the modern and more durable alternatives to the traditional box springs, as they provide the perfect comfort and height to your bed. Nectar’s Mattress Foundation is super simple to set up. 

3. Frame with Headboard

A bed frame with a wooden headboard is a traditional yet popular design. Now think of a modernized version of it, like Nectar’s Bed Frame with Headboard. It has an elegant look, button-tufted upholstery, durable wood slats, and more. 

4. Metal Bed

This bed frame is the most affordable and durable. A metal bed frame with slats is compatible with foam or hybrid mattresses. The Nectar Foldable Bed Frame is one great option that will meet all your needs. It is made of sturdy and long-lasting steel, has a 14-inch height, and ergonomic design. It’s easily assembled and disassembled, and foldable for times when you need more space.

5. Adjustable Base

Adjustable beds allow you to elevate your head or feet and are operated by remote or app. Most mattresses are compatible with adjustable beds, making the choice much easier for you. The Nectar Adjustable Bed is a beauty in itself. It has built-in charging points, massager, and Zero Gravity technology. 

6. Storage Bed Frame

 A bed that offers vast storage space and a sleek design is a must if you have a smaller space. Our Storage Bed is perfect if you need more space, with two drawers built in. The Nectar Storage Bed is upholstered, with durable and stain-resistant fabric. 

Nectar memory foam mattresses are designed to provide support and comfort in itself, so that they don’t require a box spring.
