Just thought I would share this information since it is hard to find a box spring that actually has springs in it these days.  I bought the IKEA Sultan Alby box spring(Queen for $150), this thing weighs over 100 lbs, my last S-brand probably only weighed 20-30 lbs.  I looked on the website and it says it uses Bonell spring coil: Steel with 264 springs for Full size.  Anyway, I also bought a mattress and pillowtop from IKEA so far so good, but I will post a review on it after I have used it for a few weeks.  Here are the links if anyone wants:

Sultan Alekull (couldn't find a difference besides color and it is 3/4" thicker and $50 more)

hello,
well actually there are alot of companies that still carry box SPRING, yes the ones with the actual springs in it , but no one likes to carry them because the  are outrageously expensive .

$150 doesn't sound expensive to me....maybe it is because they will make a mattress last longer and be more comfortable...therefore people won't have to replace their mattresses frequently.  However, $150 compared to maybe $10 for a simple wooden frame box(or foundation) is a difference.
Good luck with the box spring...a good Bonnell unit for a good price is a fantastic buy!
I'm waiting very impatiently for my new mattress and box springs to come on Thursday!  My back cannot wait!
