Queen split box spring vs. one piece --     Is a split box something you'd only want to do if you had to, to get it into the room?    With king mattress sets, I read a log of complaints that the mattress develops a hump in the center with a depression on either side, becasue of the frames of the adjacent box springs underneath it.    Truth, or urban legend?    Might the same thing happen with a queen set?   If there's a chance that the frame ridge in the center will have adverse effects on the matterss, I'd be better off to get a one-piece spring.   But, to insure that it will fit easily into any house, the split box would offer a nice option.   But I am leaning toward a one-piece now and only replace it with a 2-piece later, if I really need a 2 piece.    Somebody please talk me out of it if that's a bad plan.  I don't know anyone who has opthe for a split box on a queen set.

Don't say foam mattress.  I dislike them all.   :-D

Thanks.  I'll make a note to check the construction before I buy.  I am leaning toward buying a set from Original Mattress Factory.  It's in the $700 range.  But I'll still looking at other options.  Or trying to.  It's hard to do from a small town in a rural region.  We have furniture stores but they all carry the same "S" brands that everyone here is swearing at, lol.   I have to go to Pittsburgh or Cleveland or MIchigan to find anything else.

The ridge effect seems to happen in kings just because most modern mattresses develop pretty noticeable body indentations, one on each side of the middle of a king bed is super common.  Not likely to get this in a queen due to split bases.
