A lot of the newer mattresses require air flow underneath or you void the warranty.
I've never owned a box spring that wasn't anything more than a wooden box covered with fabric. So, in essence, a platform. Someone once told me that some models used to have actual springs in them, but when was the last time you saw one of those in a store?
