The box spring sits on top of the bed frame and then the mattress sits on top of the box spring.
You could also set a box spring directly on the floor and place your mattress on top but most often people choose to put a box spring on a metal bed frame in order to lift the sleeping area higher off the ground.
After that it s a matter of aesthetics price and convenience.
