Bed base

The bed is one of the most important pieces of furniture in any home. Such an item should be of the highest quality and comfortable. These characteristics are largely dependent on the frame and bed base.

The convenience of a berth directly depends on a mattress that is correctly chosen. It is placed on the base of the bed. This element plays an important role in the design of furniture, it is necessary for a healthy sleep and good rest.

A quality base of suitable size can prolong the life of the mattress. In addition, this component of the bed helps to evenly distribute the load on the bed. It contributes to the excellent orthopedic effect.

Some varieties of bases provide a high breathability of the mattress.These options are more expensive, but with their help there is high-quality and natural ventilation of the air.

Modern manufacturers produce not only ordinary, but also reinforced bases, designed for use by users with high weight.

There are several varieties of bases. Each option is designed for a specific operation and has a set of characteristics.

Solid bases (in other words - flat) are beds, consisting of planed boards, cheap plywood or regular sheets of chipboard. As a rule, such parts in the manufacturing process undergo various treatments with special protective and decorative compositions. Such bases are attached to the bed frame.

Solid bases are heavier. They do not allow the mattress to fully reveal the anatomical abilities.

Another disadvantage of such structures is poor ventilation. For this reason, they serve a short time and quickly fail.

Hard baseless base today is no longer very popular. This is a foundation shield. Furniture with such a component is inexpensive, and it is suitable for a variety of types of mattresses.

Has a frame made of wood (natural or artificial) or iron lattice anatomical base. Such options can be equipped with a popular lifting mechanism. This could be a sofa bed with a folding bed.

Orthopedic designs are among the most popular and sought after. They are distinguished by remarkable air circulation, which makes the beds more hygienic and comfortable.

Lamellae in such models are straight and curved - depending on the shape of the furniture.

Orthopedic mattresses with such bases serve much longer and do not lose theirpositive qualities.

Orthopedic options are usually flexible. Lamellae in them are narrow and wide.

Models with wide slats are ideal for placing mattresses with a dependent spring unit called “bonnel” or for soft springless options.

Narrow slats are designed for the use of mattresses with a high density of springs and high-quality soft products. Most often the bases with thin slats are available in more expensive furniture.

Orthopedic bases also occur transforming. Such options are often supplemented by electrical wire. These systems can be controlled using buttons built into furniture or a remote control. The position of the bed is chosen by its owner. You can, for example, lift the headboard.

Regulated bed bases are in great demand today. They have adjustable lamellae, the stiffness of which can be changed with the help of special regulators (or cursors).

In the areas of the base where additional adjustment of stiffness is necessary, double-layer armor is installed with additional cursors attached to each pair.

The folding bases are convenient and simple in operation.

The main advantage of bedroom furniture with such a component is its mobility. The folding base can be easily moved to a new place and even transported a considerable distance in the car. Often, owners of country houses and country houses turn to such options. Such models are also equipped with lamellae and have an excellent orthopedic effect.

At the present time, many firms offer customers high-quality soaring beds. Such interesting furniture creates an amazing effect, as if it flies above the floor surface. As a rule, such products have non-separable static bases. Often, this bedroom furniture is complemented by beautiful lighting in the lower part.

Not very expensive frameless base.As a rule, such products are flexible and are most often found in small single beds. In another way they are called liners. Such constructions are laid out along longitudinal bars, which are located in the inner part of the bed and are fixed with the help of ordinary screws.
