does latex foam "break in?"

[phoenix]

Hi needanewbed,

I’d like to get a box spring to add height, but wonder if it will give proper support. Perhaps the wood slats on an IKEA bed frame is better? I wonder if both wood slats and a box spring can be used combined? Thanks for any feedback.

Unless it is a specific part of the design of a sleeping system … it would normally be better with a latex or any all foam mattress to use a more rigid non flexing foundation that didn’t have any springs for either height or proper support than it would be to use a box spring which is normally used under an innerspring mattress. You can read a bit more about box springs and foundations and the mattresses they each do best with in post #2 here.
