Types Of Bed Bases

Most mattresses are used in combination with one of various choices of bed base, such as Divan bedsteads, Adjustable beds, Bed frames and Bunks beds. Remember to ensure that mattress and base are suitable for use together, especially if you are buying them separately.

Divan – The Divan base is still the UK’s most popular option. Essentially it’s an upholstered box, fitted with castors for mobility or on legs to create space beneath. Deep divans are often fitted with useful storage drawers.

There are four main types of Divan bases:

Sprung Edge – Sprung edge divans feature a complete open coil or pocket spring unit mounted on a frame. Considered the most luxurious option, they provide even more support across the whole mattress and act like a giant shock absorber, increasing the mattress’s durability.

Solid or Platform Top – These divans have a rigid, non sprung top panel, often made from hardboard. Beds with these bases are generally firmer, as well as cheaper than beds with sprung bases.

Firm Edge – Firm edge divans generally feature a smaller number of larger, heavy duty springs within a rigid, wooden sided frame. This provides firmer support on the edge of your divan when entering and exiting your Bed.

Slatted Base – Flexible slatted divans use laminated soft woods mounted in a frame creating a modest level of springiness from their bowed shape. The tension of some slats can be adjusted to suit individual requirements.

Storage Options - Under bed storage can be useful if space in your home is at a premium. Storage need not affect the comfort or quality of the bed – but it does cost a little more. Under bed storage options in divan bases include : - Drawers that are located in one or both sides and/or the foot end. Smaller drawers in the top half of the bed allow for bedside tables. -Access to the interior space via sliding doors on one side or both sides and/or the foot end – mostly on budget models. -Ottoman style divans have a shallow platform top, (usually unsprung) hinged to the rest of the base, which, when lifted, gives access to almost all the under bed area. Hydraulic or tension springs make lifting and replacing safe and easy, even with a heavy mattress on top.

Adjustable Beds are becoming increasingly popular as the bedroom becomes a multi-functional space. As well as reading or having breakfast in bed, people now watch TV from their beds and even work on their laptops. Of course, an Adjustable Bed still offer benefits for a range of medical complaints requiring a raised sleeping position, raised legs or to aid getting in and out of bed. Styling choices range from a traditional divan right through to a contemporary bedstead. Some even incorporate massage & Infrared units as an optional extra.

Available as single beds or as doubles with individually adjustable halves, these beds either feature flexible laminated slats or fully sprung upholstered sections. Some models have five or more individually adjusting sections – for neck, head, upper body, legs and feet; other models might only adjust the head and feet; or even just the upper body. Some models are designed to slide backwards as the head end comes up, thus keeping you in more convenient contact with your bedside table.

Bedsteads are available in a wide range of styles from traditional classics through to modern designs. They are mainly constructed from wood or metal but can incorporate lots of different fabrics including leather. The base is generally made from wooden slats which are a great way to ventilate your mattress while still offering firm support, and for this reason are particularly suitable for allergy or asthma sufferers. Bedsteads frequently come flat-packed for simple self-assembly, and are extremely easy to manoeuvre into your house. The mattress may or may not be included in the price.

Bunk Beds are a popular option for parents and children. They are fun as well as practical and space-saving. They are quite a few variations on the traditional Bunk Bed nowadays, including Cabin Beds, Sleep Stations and Triple Sleepers.
