the bed base: an essential part of your sleep!

Did you know that a bed base represents 30% of the total comfort of your bed? It is the shock absorber of your mattress that will make it last longer and prevent it from sagging.

The bed base must suit everyone's body type. Soft yet firm, the body should be supported evenly The spine support must be positioned in a straight line, without muscle or ligament tension or torsion. You should feel relaxed in your bed, and no pressure should be applied to your body.

Placing a new mattress on a used bed base reduces the life of the mattress by one third. For greater comfort and quality sleep, it is therefore preferable to renew all of it, or to have an almost new base before choosing a new mattress, if possible of an equivalent quality.

The different types of bed bases

Spring bases: spring bases are recommended for a softer and more supple feel. The distribution of the springs for your body has been thoroughly researched. The spring bed base has elastic properties and absorbs the energy produced by movement in a stimulating and dynamic way. However, beware of the "trampoline" effect that can be experienced when combined with certain mattresses.

Covered slatted bases: they adapt perfectly to the body's movements and increase the firmness of the mattress. Ideal for sensitive backs, the slats are both non-deformable and flexible which makes them last a very long time. There's no "trampoline" effect, and they bring a feeling of stability, but ventilation of the mattress isn't quite as easy.

Complements to the bed base

Bed base feet: in different shapes and colours, they raise the bed to help ventilate the mattress.

The bed skirt: a contemporary version of the valance, it allows you to dress up your bed, ideally in addition to a headboard.

Conclusion

As you can see, the bed base is inseparable from the mattress for a quality sleep, and is synonymous with comfort and well-being. In addition, in terms of hygiene, we strongly advise against placing your mattress on the floor or on a solid surface, as in this case there is a high risk of mould and deterioration of the mattress.
