It's like its shock absorber. It gives your bed some give, which is good for it. You could use a 3/4" piece of plywood in place of the box spring if you want your bed to sit lower, but again, it will feel firmer. A mattress gets a large percentage of its life from the box spring.

The manufacturer of the mattress puts a great deal of effort in the final product that ends up in stores. They don't just throw in a box spring for good measure. No pun intended. They do, however design the box spring to complement the mattress. The box spring serves to provide the necessary support the mattress requires. I would find a mattress retailer and order the box spring to match your mattress. Sleep well, Raylene Well, you sort of answered your question the more description you presented.

But since you no longer have it, use hard material, such as Plywood, or OSB. Get enough to completely cover the frame, not just part of it.

You will have less support but you'll be fine, unless you have back problems. Oops! You should have kept that!!! You will have less support but you’ll be fine, unless you have back problems.
