Points that the rest base must enhance in a latex mattress

Elasticity

Latex is a highly elastic material with a high level of adaptability. They are very comfortable mattresses, with a medium level of firmness and offering a very soft welcome. Therefore, to enhance all this elasticity, it is important that the base where it is placed is, among other things, flexible and does not limit the adaptation of the mattress to the body. Some of our most flexible bed bases are: Kalma bed base by Dunlopillo, which incorporates Hytrel ball joints, super resistant, very flexible and non-deformable; the Epsilon Bed Base by Dunlopillo, which in addition to the Hytrel ball joints, incorporates lumbar firmness regulators and a blue Aeroflex system; or the Magnus Bed Base, also from Dunlopillo, which includes all the features of the Epsilon Bed Base, has an excellent finish thanks to its super wide frame, 3.5 cm thick, in noble beech wood. Of the Magnus Bed Base, there is also a version with an upholstered frame, available in various colors, so that you can use your bed base not only to enjoy the best sleep, but as another element of your bedroom decoration.

Hygiene

Good quality latex mattresses, such as those made of Talalay latex, are characterized by offering a very hygienic rest thanks to the fact that in addition to being Hypoallegenic have antibacterial, anti-mite, antibacterial treatments and prevent the proliferation of mold in the core. For all these reasons, if we want to get the most out of all these characteristics, we must provide this type of mattress with very breathable bases. The most breathable bases on the market are slatted bed bases, which can be fixed or articulated, among which we like to highlight: the Dunlopillo electric Magnus Tap articulated bed base; the Epsilon articulated bed base, also from Dunlopillo, which incorporates 2 motors for a better adjustment of the body position or the Magnus Class articulated bed base, from Dunlopillo.

Durability

With proper maintenance and the bed base, a latex mattress can last many years in perfect condition, you just have to remember a few. Techniques that can help us ensure that our mattress has a longer useful life, such as turning it regularly, using a mattress protector or cover that protects the core from the penetration of mites and liquids and placing it on a bed base or base that guarantees not only that the mattress has good external air circulation, but that it does not deform. If you are looking for an economical and effective cover for your mattress one, we recommend the Second Skin mattress cover made with Tencel Breathable and Waterproof, which you can use as a fitted sheet and always use the padded cover.

There are slat bed bases of many qualities and prices on the market. It is true that most of them are suitable for any type of mattress, but we recommend to our clients that since when we choose a latex mattress as a resting base, we are not taking into account the price so much, but rather the quality that it can provide us, we consider that we should make the same reflection when choosing the bed base on which that mattress will rest.
