Is there a difference between a box spring and a box bed?

Yes, there is.

The difference is that in a box spring bed, the "ESPEVÄR" box has a spring core insert (ENGAVÅGEN). The supplied wooden slats are used as a base and the spring core insert is placed on top, which in combination with a pocket spring mattress results in a box spring bed. In a box spring bed, everything is covered with fabric, including the mattress, so that a topper is required for comfort; only the topper is covered with a fitted sheet.

The "ESPEVÄR" box is the same as a box spring bed (without headboard), except that there is no innerspring, instead the wooden slats of the box serve as a slatted frame. The box spring bed can be combined with a foam mattress or a pocket spring mattress. The covers are called "ESPEVÄR covers" and are available in white and dark grey.

Feet are required for both options. These must be ordered separately.
