Why Choose a Box Spring?

For an unparalleled sleeping experience

The wool mattress was traditionally paired with a box spring for good reason. A box spring offers many advantages of its own. Discover how its qualities can support the restorative sleep that is so important to your health.

We have been making it since 1880, and we are proud to offer a box spring designed around one goal: helping you sleep more comfortably.

So Many Reasons to Sleep on a Sprung Box Spring

A Proper Foundation

The bed base is the foundation. It supports the mattress and whoever sleeps on it. As the mattress’s partner within the suspension system, the box spring works with the whole bed and helps determine its firmness.

A Beneficial Combination

The ideal partner for a wool mattress is a box spring. Other types of bed base can certainly be used, but the experience will be different. Together, they create a unique balance between the springiness of the coils, the support of the wool, and a soft surface feel.

Sleeping comfort above all

The box spring adapts to your sleeping profile, not the other way around. This type of box spring adapts optimally to the shape of the body.

A healthy, natural cocoon

Sleep in a cocoon free of synthetic materials and chemical treatments.

An investment to appreciate over the long term

A Le Briand box spring can feel like a significant expense at first, but that investment becomes a saving over the long term.

Comfort First

Everything is designed to promote high-quality sleep: it must be restorative. The bed base must not be overlooked when seeking comfort.

Our foremost concern is creating a sleep experience tailored to your comfort preferences.

100% Comfort
Its design centers on the sleep comfort that suits you, recognizing that bedding comfort is subjective.

Adjustable
Everyone has a preferred firmness, which the box spring influences as the mattress base. We adapt accordingly.

Support and Flexibility in One
The springs provide flexibility through their range of motion while giving the mattress the support it needs.

Working in Harmony
We design the box spring and wool mattress as a single system, because the suspension and resulting firmness depend on both.

Back Support
Coil suspension can still provide all the support your back needs.

Contoured Support
It supports your body comfortably in every sleeping position.

An alternative to slats
A credible alternative to slats, which form an inert base with limited suspension.

Even Pressure Distribution
It distributes pressure evenly across the whole body.

Highly durable
It withstands pressure without sagging, losing firmness or squeaking.

Responsive Flexibility
This is the suppleness our ancestors valued. A box spring whose coils are worn or squeaky is no longer doing its job properly.

A box spring creates the conditions for your bedding to support your body with both comfort and flexibility.

The comfort of a Le Briand box spring also depends on 2 other factors:

  • the filling materials, meaning the box spring maker’s ability to select the best possible materials for restful sleep.
  • the way the filling is assembled, meaning the care and experience required to create the right solution for each customer.

Materials serving a healthy space

Another condition necessary for our well-being is creating a non-toxic environment for an everyday object where we spend more than a third of our lives.

Natural materials
Air without toxic traces to nourish the resting body.

A healthy environment
Reducing pollution in the sleeping space by minimizing indoor pollution.

Natural materials therefore help create a resting space without anything harmful to sleep quality.

Many people have already approved the idea of lying on a healthy, soft and enveloping box spring, conducive to optimal sleep.

Taking the time
Taking the time until we have a degree of certainty about what you want.

There is an inclusive dimension to the box spring that we strive to reflect through an empathetic approach in every interaction, to support you rather than impose a bedding option without understanding your needs.

Other, more subjective dimensions also add to the pleasure of choosing an artisan-made sprung box spring.

These factors will matter more or less depending on your needs and preferences. They also bring something more: a little extra soul to the piece you buy.
