Do You Need a Box Spring for Your Modern-Day Mattress? (2025)

wired.com Julia Forbes 2025-07-27 02:32:00

You're probably familiar with a box spring, the simple wood frame with springs that acts as a support base under older mattresses. It's not a highly technical piece of equipment like a smart bed (or a trampoline, wouldn't that be fun)—this kind of mattress foundation has persisted through the ages solely due to its simple and durable design. But have you noticed you may not be seeing them as often nowadays? In my opinion as a career mattress tester, contemporary mattresses are on their way to m

On June 11, the UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued an alert declaring several candies manufactured by The Hershey Company “unsafe to eat.” Four products from the flagship Jolly Rancher brand—Hard Candy, “Misfits” Gummies, Hard Candy Fruity 2 in 1, and Berry Gummies—contain mineral oil hydrocarbons, banned from food in the UK. The offending substances are mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH) and mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH). Both are derived from crude oil and are often use

In a delicious turn of events, scientists succeeded in taking the optics of olive oil to create the first-ever microlaser made entirely from edible materials. If commercialized, they could offer an easy and safe way to monitor food or medications from inside your body. The technology, introduced earlier this month in the journal Advanced Optical Materials, exploits an interesting tendency for droplets of common cooking oils, which emit a photon of light when subjected to a certain amount of ene

Gas prices could rise due to the conflict with Iran. Alvaro Gonzalez/Getty Images Brent crude opened Thursday at $67.83 a barrel, down more than $13 from the high of $81 last week, after traders decided the Iran-Israel ceasefire will probably keep the Strait of Hormuz open.

The 5 Best Griddles and Flat-Top Grills of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

Photograph: Matthew Korfhage Griddle seasoning is, quite simply, protection for your griddle. When a thin layer of oil is heated above its smoke point and allowed to cook off atop the griddle and then cool, it forms a polymer that protects the top of the griddle and leads to better cooks. (Some think that griddle seasoning is to help food not stick to the metal. It may or may not add some nonstick properties, but the main purpose is to protect the griddle against rust and other wear.)

The real reason why oil and gas companies are bullish on carbon capture

Two years ago, oil and gas company Occidental bought carbon capture startup Carbon Engineering. The transaction was hailed as a win-win: A climate tech company scored a significant exit, and a fossil fuel company gained a foothold in a sector that could be worth up to $150 billion by 2050. Now we have a better idea why Occidental was keen to pick up the pricey technology: They want to use it to pump more oil.
