I haven’t found anything scientific about this, but box springs are wooden slats sideways for even distribution of weight, but wouldn’t the floor be better? Does it damage the bed or affect sleep?
Or are box springs a solution to the manufactured problem of raising beds on bed frames?

Having your bed off the floor kept insects from calling into bed. Often people would coat their bed legs in substances to prevent bugs from calling up the legs. Canopy’s over beds were used to prevent critters and bugs from falling on top of you if you lived in a thatch roofed house.
It’s also easier on your body when your bed is higher to get in and out of.
