Slatted bases

Did you think that only the mattress determines your comfort? That’s not the case, a firm but flexible slatted base is just as important. It is the combination of the mattress and slatted base that supports your body in the right way. Since we spend about a third of our lives in bed, it is best to choose a sleep system that enables you to wake up rested and full of energy.

• Light and breathable

  A slatted base is relatively easy to handle and fits in any room. The slatted structure provides plenty of ventilation under your mattress.

• Compatible with any mattress

  Slatted bases can be combined with all types of mattresses: latex or pocket sprung. Choose your mattress based on your sleeping needs and comfort requirements.

• Flexible solutions for every style

  You can easily combine a slatted base with a bed frame that looks great in your interior. There are endless possibilities. Prefer to keep it simple or have limited space? In that case you can just fit legs to your slatted base.

• Storage space under your bed

  You can add a drawer to store bedding, for example, under a bed with a slatted base. Convenient and space saving.

A good night’s sleep starts with the basics: the slatted base. This part of your bed largely determines the level of support it provides, so has a direct impact on your comfort and physical recovery. If you opt for a slatted base that is configured to your particular SLEEP DNA®, you don’t get a standard solution, but support that is completely tailored to your body. This will not only help you sleep better, you will also wake up more rested and energised.

Your complete sleep solution is tailored to your SLEEP DNA® - from the slatted base and mattress to the pillow. The slatted base serves as the foundation and is the ideal match for your measured body profile so the support is tailored to your body. This keeps your spine perfectly aligned, you don’t feel any pressure on your shoulders, neck or back and it ensures optimal weight distribution. It enables your muscles to relax completely and your body to optimally repair itself while you sleep.  

A unique advantage of the P3 and P4 (support levels of a slatted base) is that your SLEEP DNA® can be remeasured and applied again afterwards. So you are not stuck with a single snapshot. When your body changes, e.g. due to pregnancy or injury, it’s easy to take another measurement. It is subsequently used as the basis to adjust the box spring so that the support is fully tailored to your body once more. This means your sleep solution is always perfectly aligned with your SLEEP DNA®.

✓ It reduces the pressure on muscles and joints

✓ A better night’s sleep 

✓ Faster physical recovery 

✓ Fewer physical complaints  

✓ You feel mentally rested  

✓ You have more energy during the day  

A fixed slatted base can provide support for your body, if it is of good quality. So, in principle, a non-adjustable slatted base can provide sufficient support and comfort. But is that enough? Perhaps you have physical complaints, such as restless legs, snoring or reflux. Or you spend a lot of time in bed because you are sick or like to sit in bed reading or watching Netflix. Either way, there is always a good reason for choosing an adjustable slatted base.

A quality adjustable slatted base will give you years of enjoyment. You also have the choice between manually adjustable slatted bases and electrically adjustable slatted bases. The latter offer the ultimate comfort level: with a simple push of a button, you can adjust your bed to the desired position, for example, with the leg section slightly higher or with the back section in a sitting position.

Do you and your partner have different comfort needs? Or do you tend to keep each other awake by tossing and turning at night? In that case, configure a double bed with two single-slatted bases topped with two single mattresses. You can bridge the dreaded ‘gap’ between the two mattresses with a double fitted sheet.

You can also combine two slatted bases that are electrically adjustable separately in a double bed. This allows each partner to adjust his or her side independently. You can fit a ‘split mattress fitted sheet’ over the two single mattresses. This is a fitted sheet with an ‘opening’ in the middle so you can still adjust the two slatted bed bases separately.

Looking for a new slatted base? It’s best to take the following factors into account:

• The bed frame

  Your bed frame is mainly a matter of taste. You will find bed frames in wood or upholstered in fabric, in all shapes and colours. Of course, the size of the bed frame should be compatible with the size of your slatted base(s).

• The available space

  Not every bedroom is the same size. So an extra-large bed will not fit in every room. You can still opt for the largest possible slatted base and mattress by choosing a narrow bed frame or just fitting legs to your slatted base.

• Your body type

  Do you have a slightly bigger build or are you or your partner taller than average? If so, be sure to choose a wider or longer slatted base, if you have the space. Opt for a larger duvet too. There’s nothing more annoying than waking up with cold feet hanging out of bed.

• Your budget

  Never skimp on comfort. The better slatted bases also come in a wide range of prices to suit your budget. At Ergosleep, you can be sure the quality will be good. We have everything you need for a good night’s sleep!

• Do you already have a bed frame?

  Different combinations of slatted bases and mattresses are still possible. For example, you can fit a bed with a width of 140 cm with two 70 cm slatted bases. You can also opt for one 140 cm slatted base and top it with one large or two separate mattresses. A 200x200 cm bed frame should be combined with two 100x200 cm slatted bases. You can combine it with a mattress 200x200 cm, or two single mattresses 100x200 cm.

• An Ergosleep slatted base

  Ergosleep slatted bases come in all possible sizes: from 70x190 cm for the smallest bed frame to 140x220 cm for the largest. So you are sure to find a slatted base that suits you. Moreover, our slatted bases are all available as a fixed and a - manually or electrically adjustable model.

Transporting a slatted base home, lifting it up to the bedroom and also assembling it without any marks or damage is no mean feat. We prefer to leave this task to the professionals. Our fitters are experienced in their trade and will ensure that your bedroom is left finished and tidy afterwards.

• Regularly remove the slatted base from the bed frame to thoroughly vacuum and clean both the base and the area underneath. This prevents the accumulation of dust and dirt.

• Wipe the slats and any adjustable sections occasionally with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

• Avoid excessive use of water to keep the materials in good condition.

The right slatted base provides your body with optimal support. So choose your slatted base with care and combine it with a good mattress. We are happy to help you determine the best choice for you.
