Where to inspect
- Corner protectors and plastic brackets
- The fabric dust cover on the underside
- Staples, seams and the internal wooden frame
- The rails the box spring rests on
Encasements
A box spring encasement seals the item so future inspection only requires a look at the outer surface. It supports a treatment plan rather than replacing one.
Removal considerations
Box springs are sometimes discarded because they are already in poor condition or because a provider has advised it. If that applies, wrap or contain the item before moving it, and follow local disposal requirements.
