Bed bases: how to choose the ideal one?

To make sure we get a truly restorative rest, the mattress, pillow and bed base must work in perfect synergy, and this is why we talk about a “bed systems.”

Indeed, to support the spine properly and improve sleep, a bed base and mattress must interact. In this article we’ll go through all the features of a quality bed base and see how to choose the one that best meets your needs!

Why is a bed base important?

A mattress always needs a quality base to ensure adequate support and even distribution of body weight. While the mattress reacts to the smallest change of pressure (called “micro-adaptation”), the bed base compensates for the stronger pressure exerted by the hips and shoulders (called “macro-adaptation”).

A performing slatted bed base is also very important for preserving the structure of the mattress itself, preventing structural sagging and promoting optimal air circulation.

Which bed base to choose according to your mattress?

Each mattress has specific characteristics and needs a compatible bed base.

• Latex mattresses and mattresses made of evolved foams and memory: they require bed bases with flexible slats and active suspensions to provide progressive support. One example is the Teknica bed base, which has multidirectional suspensions that adapt to body stresses to provide comfort in the shoulder area.

• Traditional spring mattresses or pocket spring mattresses: they match with bed bases with stiffer slats, as the springs already offer a high degree of adaptation. The Fixed Dogma Plus bed base, with adjustable center slats, allows calibrated support in the lumbar region for personalized comfort.
  
  Box Spring and Box Spring Light are also made specifically for these mattresses. These are spring bed frames that, in synergy with the mattress springs, enhance the comfort of the entire bed system.

Materials: sturdy and natural

Quality bed bases are generally made of wood, a natural material that combines durability, flexibility and strength. Manifattura Falomo uses multilayer beech wood, carefully selected, certified and steam-treated to ensure stability and long product life.

Wooden slats: all the benefits

Wooden slats offer many benefits including:

• excellent resistance to use, in fact wood is a durable material that maintains its features over time;
• excellent elasticity as they are able to adapt naturally to the pressure of our body;
• absence of noise during movement because they do not produce unwanted squeaks;
• compatibility with natural electromagnetic fields because being wood a nonconductive material, it prevents the transmission of electricity and artificial waves.

What sizes should we choose?

Bed bases should be chosen according to the size of the mattress and bed frame.

Bed bases are available in different sizes to accommodate various mattress sizes. Manifattura Falomo offers bed bases in lengths of 190, 195 and 200 cm and widths ranging from 80 cm up to 180 cm. In addition, custom sizes can be requested to meet specific needs, even up to 220 cm!

Finally, Manifattura Falomo bed bases can be customized in height thanks to the conical feet available in different sizes and also in different finishes to match your decor.
