eli5 Why Mattresses need frames and box springs for (stability) when the floor is a fully flat surface?

766 views

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?

Mattress and box spring straight on the floor for some reason feels harder than mattress and foundation placed on a frame. I honestly have no idea why other than the frame allows a bit of flexibility in everything perhaps ?
