Bedframes or bedsteads, whether constructed in timber or metal usually have slatted or solid bases which by their very design tend to give a firmer less flexible feel to any mattress which is placed on top.

This is fine if you are looking for a firmer sleeping surface. If however you would like a softer more flexible bed then you may want to reconsider your choice and opt for a divan type bed with a sprung base for comfort. If on the other hand you are determined that a frame is the bed for you then be aware that your choice of mattress is even more important as this is where the comfort, support and durability lies, for more information check out our mattress selection.
