BOX SPRING弹簧床垫

A box-spring is a type of bed base typically consisting of a sturdy wooden frame covered in cloth,and containing ually the box-spring is placed on top of a wooden or metal bedframe which sits on the floor and acts as a brace.The box-spring is usually the same size as the much softer mattress which is placed above the box-spring.Working together, the frame,box-spring,and mattress make up a bed.It is common to find a box-spring and mattress being used together without the support of a frame underneath,the box spring being mounted directly on casters standing on the floor.

弹簧床垫是一种典型的由坚固木材框架、表面覆盖布料、里面装有弹簧的床架。通常弹簧床垫放在木制或金属床架上，床架铺放在地面，起支撑作用。弹簧床垫的尺寸通常与放在其上面的较软床垫一样。作为床框的弹簧床垫和其上面的床垫并组成了一张床。弹簧床垫直接装上脚轮和床垫一起使用而没有底下支撑框架是很常见的。

The purpose of the box-spring is threefold:

∙to raise the mattress'height,making it easier to get in and out of bed;

∙to absorb shock and reduce wear to the mattress;and

∙to create a flat and firm structure for the mattress to lie upon.

弹簧床垫有三重目的：

●增加床垫高度，方便人们上下床；

●缓冲冲击力及减少对床垫的磨损；

●为人们躺在床垫上提供一个平坦厚实的架构

The first rectangular spring-cushioned wire frames to support mattresses did not have wood rims or cloth covers.These were called bedsprings.More and more box-springs are being made out of wood,then covered in fabrics. Wood makes a better support system for the newer memory foam and latex mattresses.[citation needed]The newest design in box-springs is the folding box spring made of wood and springs,then covered in fabric which can fold in half and can be sent by shipping and courier companies.

With the increasing height of mattresses,manufacturers now make box springs in different heights.Standard"high profile"box springs are9 inches(23cm)in height,whereas"low profile"box springs are between 5and5.5inches(13and14cm).The difference between the two heights is purely aesthetic and makes no difference in the support provided for the mattress.

随着床垫高度的越来越高，厂家也随之制造不同高度的弹簧床垫。标准“高位”弹簧床垫的高度是9尺（23厘米），然后“低位”弹簧床垫的高度在5-5.5尺之间（13-14厘米）。这两种高度的区别仅仅是视觉上的，对床垫的承托作用是一样的。

Alternatives另一种选择

Box-spring beds are popular especially in the United States and Canada.

Alternatively,in Japan,futon mattresses are usually either placed on a bedframe or on the floor,without the use of springs;in Europe, mattresses are usually placed on a slatted base on the bedframe.This lath floor provides suspension,allows the mattress to ventilate,and can be designed to be vertically adjustable in order to elevate the legs and/ or the torso.

弹簧床垫尤其在美国和加拿大流行。

相应地，日本会使用一种无弹簧的叫“Futon”床垫，要么放在床架上，要么摆在地面上；在欧洲，床垫通常放在带有板条的床框上。这种板条层起悬挂的作用，可以让床垫通风透气，并能设计为可垂直调整以抬高脚部和躯干。
