Choosing the right bed base is important for how your mattress performs and feels over time. Our mattresses are designed to be used on a flat, supportive base that allows for proper ventilation.

  

### Recommended Bed Bases

  

*   Solid or platform bed bases with a flat surface
*   Slatted bed frames, provided:
    *   Slats are flat (straight) rather than posture, sprung, or flexi slats
    *   Slats are spaced no more than 8cm apart to ensure even support
    *   The frame allows airflow beneath the mattress

While posture or flexi slats can be used, they may cause the mattress to feel softer than intended. For those who prefer a firmer, more supportive feel, flat slats or a solid base are the best option.

###   

### What We Don’t Recommend

  

*   Placing the mattress directly on the floor without ventilation, as this can lead to moisture build-up
*   Adjustable bed bases, as bending or folding the mattress may damage internal layers and affect its structural integrity

###   

### Sizing & Fit

  

Our mattresses are made to standard Australian sizing. If your bed base varies by up to 3cm, your mattress will still fit comfortably.

Using a compatible bed base helps maintain proper support, airflow, and the overall lifespan of your mattress. If you’re unsure whether your current bed base is suitable, we recommend visiting one of our showrooms or speaking with our team for personalised advice. We’re always happy to help!
