I have a hard time believing the box-spring does anything except raise the bed, and supply a flat surface for the mattress to lay on. Hell, I don't even think my box-spring even has springs.. It's just a wooden frame with cloth covering it.. That may change when going into more expensive bedding.
I doubt you'll find much of a deal buying just the mattress though. They seem to be just as expensive without the box-spring as they are with them.
