Sealy's StableSupport Foundation is the closest thing here to the box spring most people grew up with, and it is also the cheapest. A 9-inch queen cost $250.00 on Sealy's US site when we checked, and a 5-inch low profile is offered for taller mattresses or narrow stairways. Sealy delivers it free to your home in 2 to 3 weeks and its team assembles it, so there are no slat packs or pins to deal with. King and California king versions come in 2 pieces, which helps on tight stairs. Sealy says the foundation suits foam and innerspring mattresses and fits most standard bed frames, and it carries a 10-year limited warranty. The big catch is the return policy: Sealy states that this product cannot be returned and that its 90-night trial does not apply. Sealy also does not list a weight rating, so heavier sleepers may prefer Purple or Avocado.
