Niels,
The "boxed springs" you describe is exactly what I'm referring to. It serves no other purpose than to provide a flat supporting surface for the mattress "x" distance above the floor. You can have just as much support with a simple sheet of plywood.
By using a reinforced sheet of plywood under the mattress, you can use the hidden space for seasonal/long term storage. No drawers, no cluttering up the clean design.
