# What Is a Low Profile Box Spring?
Mattress sets come with two types of box springs, standard and low profile. The only difference between a low-profile box spring and a standard one is the size, according to the Perrysburg Mattress company. They are both equally effective.

Standard Boxsprings
-
A standard box spring is the one you probably already have. On average this box spring is about 9 inches tall and is usually the same height as your mattress. These box springs will make your bed higher.
Low Profile Box Springs
-
A low-profile box spring is 5-6 inches high and makes it easier to get into a bed that is tall. Low-profile box springs typically cost about the same as the standard ones.
Choosing Between Standard and Low-Profile
-
If you are buying a new bed and mattress set, check with the sales representative for measurements regarding how tall your bed is. This will help you make the right decision when you purchase.
