If you have recently invested in a new mattress but still find that you wake feeling less than rejuvenated, it could be your base. As a significant portion of our lives is spent slumbering, quality sleep is crucial, and one element that is often overlooked is bed frames. A well-crafted frame provides you with the necessary support and comfort for a truly restorative night’s rest. As with other pieces of furniture in your home, bases are subject to wear and tear, and the sleep experts at The Bed Shop would like to share some handy tips when the time comes for you to upgrade your base.
The Hidden Secrets in Choosing Bed Frames
Have you gone away recently and had the best night’s rest? Does your mattress have a somewhat sinking appearance? Do you have conversations with your bed when you move? Answering yes to any of these questions means that there is a strong possibility you need to shop for bed frames. As the main support system for your mattress, we at The Bed Shop want to make sure you get it right the first time.
Keeping Your Cherished Mattress
Are you attached to your current mattress? If you want to enhance your current sleep experience with a new base, use your cherished mattress as an indication of size. This isn’t a case of one size fits all, take out your tape measure, and make sure that the double base you have your eye on precisely matches your mattress dimensions. This is also the perfect opportunity to consider transitioning to a larger bed that is better suited to your preferences. To ensure your bedroom remains a haven of comfort and functionality, we suggest you consider the available space.
Style Your Boudoir
Knowing that your mattress needs a supportive frame doesn’t mean that you can’t get a bit creative in the process. This is your chance to transform your bedroom into a chamber fit for a queen by choosing a frame with an integrated headboard or, should you want to change the aesthetics, a freestanding one. With all the styles and materials of bases to choose from, the sleep experts at The Bed Shop have narrowed it down to the two most popular choices:
- Upholstered bed frames exude an aura of refined elegance and are often embellished with details such as buttons. The inclusion of plush padding enhances aesthetics and provides an added layer of comfort. With an array of colours and fabrics to choose from, these bases offer a versatile and stylish solution
- Wood is a testament to enduring durability with the practicality of minimal upkeep. The sheer variety of wood types and finishes alone ensures that you will find the perfect room and mattress fit. The warmth and classic sophistication of wood make these bases the ideal frame in any room. For example, if you prefer rustic charm, a wooden frame with an aged finish will complement your space
Whether you prefer a base with a sturdy frame covered in plush fabric or a raised base constructed from wooden slats for solid support, you need to decide what is more comfortable for you. Your bed is the focal point, so consider the overall style that you want before committing.
Masterfully Crafted
Selecting a frame based on price alone can be your undoing. Before making a final decision, examine the overall quality and craftsmanship as you want the base to last. Sometimes, investing more gives you what you want in the first place, a durable and supportive frame for a good night’s rest. However, when you select your choice of base from The Bed Shop, you get the best of both worlds; superior quality at affordable prices.
Bed frames are a big investment in your overall sleep quality and the slumber specialists at The Bed Shop are here to help you make the right choice. We believe in affordable luxury and encourage you to shop online where you can enjoy discounted prices from the leading manufacturers and suppliers in South Africa.
