When my husband and I got married a couple years ago, we were hoping to get a king sized bed, so I put some king sized sheets on my wedding registry and I got all of them.

Now that we're purchased our first home, it looks like our bedroom can't comfortably fit a king size bed, so now I have all these sheets I won't be able to use.

I'm thinking we have enough room to go up to a queen and maybe I could try to sell the old sheets (never opened) and rebuy them in the right size.

I'd like to get an IKEA bed with drawers underneath and not have to worry about the box spring falling through the frame.

Alright alright, here's what I call a box spring (or box mattress in my language):

The whole massive bottom part, including the wooden frame (hidden by fabric) and the two layers of springs is the box spring. The thinner part on top appears to be a latex topper ("top mattress").

You only need the box spring (with feet) and a topper for a good bed.

That looks like a H�stens bed, the most absurdly expensive beds in the world. A bed from them costs between $10,000 and $30,000, just crazy. Or maybe it's a Chinese copy since there are Chinese characters on your image. Anyway, the luxurious H�stens beds are split in two - a base (with a wooden frame, springs, wool, etc.), and a spring mattress (also with springs, horsehair, wool, etc.), that I guess compliment eachother and together, make up a gigantic load of springs, horse hair, foam, wool, and so on. Normal people here just buy the setup I pictured above.

In North America, our box springs are not very comfy. There are often hard wooden slats on the top, so another mattress is necessary. A box spring is a large, heavy wooden box with some springs in it.

Good news! We just got one that functions as its own box spring so that you can rest the mattress on top; I was told a few months ago that they hadn't reached the online catalog but they are available now.
Something from here, I can't pronounce most of them: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/bedroom/25205/

I had been looking at the Brimnes ones for some time. I like the Brimnes headboard too, since we have a storage headboard on our current bed and use it to hold stuff.
