Which bed base should I choose?

• Choosing a good bed base is as important as choosing a good mattress. There is no point in purchasing the best mattress on the market if the base on which it is going to rest is not adequate. To understand it better, it would be like choosing a good car with bad wheels.

  Depending on the main mattress material chosen and its characteristics, you have to look at one base or another to meet the ventilation and support needs that each mattress requires.

Parts of the bed base

It is necessary to know what a bed base is made of in order to differentiate the different qualities and features.

The frame

It is the structure that supports the bed base and can be made of wood or metal. The wooden frame is usually the most robust, while the metal one is cheaper; You have to pay close attention to the thickness and especially the caliber of the tube that composes it, the thicker it is, the more resistance it is, 1.5 mm being recommended.

The ball joints

They are the pieces that join and hold the sheets to the frames. They can be made of rubber, plastic or Hytrel; rubber ball joints are stronger and much more flexible and are recommended for viscoelastic or latex mattresses. plastic ball joints are more rigid. Finally, Hytrel is a material that combines plastic and rubber, being much more resistant and flexible, and considered almost 'non-deformable', it is the most recommended.

You must also take into account whether the studs that support the ball joints are fixed or tilting; The latter are more flexible, improving adaptability and comfort. There are also duo finishes, which further increase the ability of the bed base to adapt to the shapes of the body.

The slats

There is a wide variety of slats; The most used are those made of beech, which are durable, provide greater elasticity and do not accumulate static electricity. More economical options are metal sheets, much less resistant, and those made of other woods such as poplar.

The firmness of the bed base will depend on the number of slats and their thickness. The highest quality ones are those made of treated beech. Sometimes you can group or separate slats from the bed base or areas using tensioners to differentiate comfort areas: lumbar, back, head or legs.

Fixed or Electric

The ability to be able to articulate the bed base to the size of each sleeper is an extra comfort during rest that is all the more recommended as we get older. It is also especially indicated for people with circulation problems or reflux, as it allows them to maintain a slightly upright posture and adopt the most appropriate posture depending on the use that is being given to the mattress at any given time.
