What is a bed base, and do I need one?
A bed base, also known as a bed frame or divan, is the foundation that supports your mattress. It helps maintain the structural integrity of the mattress and provides a stable surface for you to sleep on. While you can technically place your mattress directly on the floor, a proper bed base is recommended to enhance the longevity and comfort of your mattress.
What types of bed bases are available?
Bed bases come in various types, including platform tops, padded tops, sprung bases, wooden sprung slat bases, solid slatted bases, and ottoman bases. Each type offers unique features and benefits, catering to different comfort preferences and storage needs.
What is a platform-top?
A platform-top is a sturdy and firm surface for your mattress, constructed from a solid timber frame and a non-sprung panel top, upholstered with fabric. It provides a rigid and supportive foundation, making it a more affordable option.
What is the difference between a platform top and a padded top bed base?
A platform-top bed base has a solid wooden top covered with fabric, offering a supportive feel to the mattress. On the other hand, a padded top bed base provides a firmer feel with a ventilated top layer for subtle cushioning, striking a balance between support and comfort.
What are the benefits of choosing a platform top?
If you prefer a firm and supportive bed with a stable surface, a platform top divan bed is an excellent choice. It offers higher levels of support for your back, making it suitable for those with back pain or larger frames. Additionally, platform top divans are generally more affordable, providing great value for money.
What type of mattresses are best suited for platform top bases?
Platform top divan bases are ideal for firmer and orthopaedic mattresses, creating a supportive sleep surface. However, you can also choose slightly less firm mattresses if that's your preference. We offer a wide range of mattress firmness options to cater to individual comfort needs.
How does a sprung base benefit my mattress?
A sprung base contains springs in the top, working in conjunction with the mattress to provide a supportive foundation. This combination helps distribute weight evenly and can increase the lifespan of your mattress by reducing wear and tear.
What is a wooden sprung slat base, and why is it beneficial?
A wooden sprung slat base features slats made of wood that offer a natural bounce, adjusting to your body's profile where you exert the most pressure. This personalised support ensures a comfortable sleep experience by relieving pressure points.
What types of mattresses are best for a sprung base?
Sprung bases are versatile and suitable for all mattress types. They are commonly paired with softer mattresses to provide a more sumptuous and cushioned feel to the bed. However, firmer mattresses are not typically recommended for use with sprung divan bases, as the springs in the base can reduce the overall firmness of the sleep surface. So, if you prefer a softer and more luxurious sleep experience, a sprung divan base with a softer mattress is an excellent choice.
How do solid slats differ from sprung slats?
The main difference between solid slats and sprung slats lies in their construction and level of support. Solid slats are rigid and do not bend, providing a much firmer foundation for your mattress, whereas sprung slats have a more flexible design with springs that allow for some give and bounce.
What type of sleepers are solid slats ideal for?
Solid slats are a great choice for those who prefer a firmer feel to their mattress and desire a more supportive sleeping surface. To maximise support, pair your solid slat base with a firm or extra-firm mattress for an excellent sleep experience.
What are the advantages of a solid slatted base?
A solid slatted base allows air to circulate below the mattress, providing ventilation and promoting a fresh sleep environment. It helps prevent the buildup of moisture and mildew, making it a hygienic option.
How does an ottoman base provide storage solutions?
An ottoman base comes with a clever mechanism, typically using gas rams, to assist in lifting the base, revealing a spacious storage compartment underneath. This feature is perfect for utilising the space under your bed for storing bedding, clothes, and other items.
Can I use any bed base with any mattress?
While most mattresses are designed to work with standard bed bases, it's essential to check the compatibility to ensure optimal support and performance. Some mattresses, such as memory foam or hybrid mattresses, may require specific types of bed bases for best results. Some mattresses also require the bed slats to be a certain width.
Are bed bases easy to assemble?
Most bed bases come with simple assembly instructions and are designed for easy setup. However, some styles, like ottoman bases, may require more intricate assembly due to their storage mechanisms. We offer a bed assembly service, allowing you to put your feet up while we assemble your bed.
How do I choose the right bed base for my needs?
Consider factors such as your preferred comfort level, storage requirements, bedroom space, and budget. Choose a bed base that complements your mattress and aligns with your sleep preferences to create a comfortable and supportive sleep environment.
