Base Types
Slatted bed
Slatted beds are known for their excellent support and flexibility, as the slats can adjust slightly to the weight and movement of the sleeper, enhancing comfort and spinal alignment. They come in two main types: solid slats, which provide a firmer feel, and sprung slats, which are slightly curved and offer a more cushioned support. Slatted beds are a popular choice for their durability, breathability, and the added stability they bring to the sleeping experience.
Solid Base (No Storage)
A solid bed base is a sturdy and supportive foundation made from a continuous, flat surface such as a solid board or panel, usually crafted from wood or metal. Unlike slatted bases, which have gaps between individual slats, a solid bed base provides an uninterrupted platform that offers firm, uniform support across the entire mattress.
Gas Lift Storage
A slatted gas lift bed combines the benefits of a slatted base with the convenience of built-in storage. The bed features a series of horizontal slats, usually made of wood or metal, that provide flexible, breathable support for the mattress. This slatted structure allows for excellent airflow, promoting mattress longevity and comfort.
