[QUOTE="klmno, post: 398480, member: 3699"] Was it just the wood in the base that broke or was it the side and bottom of the mattress? Have Tony look underneath the base you now have to check for sure but I doubt it is really a box spring. They normally don't sell real box springs anymore, especially with pillow tops and euro tops, and just sell what amounts to a wooden frame with a fabric cover on it. Pillow tops and euro tops have the coils in the lower portion of the mattress, under the padded top. I went to a mattress store a few years ago and they had little models showing how mattresses are made these days and the difference between number of coils in the mattress, below the actual pillow top. I don't remember what number is actually "good" or "best" but you can probably find a good mattress store near you to visit and learn what you should get, even if you don't buy the mattress there. If you get a platform bed, which has a continuous wooden frame uinstead of slats, you could skip getting a base (what we normally call box springs) because their only use now is to provide some support for the mattress on a typical frame.
