It's time for a new mattress, as I'm beginning to wake up with a stiff back every morning. Double-checked by sleeping on the floor for a couple of nights, and the stiff back miraculously backed off.

Anyway, I'm not averse to saving some cash. So, in anyone's experience, is it actually necessary to buy new box springs with a new mattress, or can I get by with just a new mattress and the old box springs. The old mattress looks obviously worn at this point, but the box springs seem fine.

Any feedback here? I looked around on the web a bit, but most of the info I could get on the subject was from mattress dealers, who say that of _course_ you must have a new box spring.
