Usually one will need new boxsprings with a new mattress. Older boxsprings, if worn out, can often be the reason we see deep dips in our mattress because the support beneath it is sagging. Also, older boxsprings are built to flex like a shock absorber- However, starting in 2002 all manufacturers started making one sided mattresses that will last longer on a firm (new) boxspring instead of a flexing (old) boxspring.

Do you need to replace your box springs when purchasing a new mattress?
If you have a set of box springs you should replace them when you get a new mattress as they wear out. If you have a foundation (rigid platform) and it is in good repair and sits flat you will get just as long a wear out of your new mattress as you will with a new foundation. It will probably void your warranty, but if you bu a decent mattress and take care of it you most likely will have no issues. You should not use a box spring with a bed designed for a foundation as it will wear prematurely. over 90% of the beds made today have foundations. Also a bed designed for a box spring should not have a foundation used on it. The innerspring on a platform and box spring bed are designed differently.
