How does it feel to sleep on a platform vs a boxspring?

[Nosy]

We are in the market for a new mattress & considering whether to buy a mattress+ box spring or mattress+ platform. A platform would be cheaper & maybe more allergy friendly (box spring might be more difficult to keep dust mite free). Can anyone compare how it feels to sleep on one vs the other?

Thanks!

DH & I have a platform bed and it's great! 3+ years ago we went looking for a new bed & mattress b/c our old one was in horrible shape - it was pretty old, and we were waking up in pain almost every morning. We ended up getting the platform first, as a stop-gap to see if it would help any while we saved up for the mattress, but it made such a huge difference we are only now starting to think about getting the mattress again.

I like the nice bouncy pine slats in my bed, and I also really enjoy using the under-bed storage space that I would have lost if I had a box spring.

I never noticed a difference...
