Choosing the right bed base: purchasing guide and how to eliminate bed squeaking

Often overlooked, the choice of a box spring is as important as the choice of a mattress for a good sleep. Our advice for purchasing a quality network based on your needs.

The base is the surface on which the mattress is placed. It cushions movements and supports the mattress by airing it. It is advisable to choose it well, so that it lasts a long time and guarantees you quality sleep.

Spring base or slatted base?

The choice of a slatted or spring base depends on your aesthetic tastes and your sleeping preferences. A slatted base is made up of panels, usually made of wood, that support the mattress. The slatted base allows good ventilation of the mattress, which ensures optimal hygiene.

The slatted base: comfortable and airy

The slatted base is a classic wooden frame on which the slats are fixed. Depending on the model, the slats are more or less wide, spaced and articulated. The distance between the slats allows the mattress to ventilate more, preventing humidity from settling.

Since the slats are hard, they must in fact be paired with a softer latex or foam mattress to ensure your comfort.

Which box spring should I buy for my mattress?

We recommend choosing a slatted base if you have a polyurethane, memory foam or latex mattress.

This model is also recommended in case of allergies. However, it is the most common. It is therefore necessary to consider the quality of the materials used and the reliability of the suspensions.

It goes without saying, but you need to choose a box spring that is the same size as your mattress. Let's go back to the essentials: the ideal is to change all the bed accessories at the same time. In terms of comfort, the bigger you think, the better you will feel.

For example, if you are approximately 1.80 meters tall, you should opt for a length of 200 cm. Width is also important, especially if you sleep as a couple. By switching from a 140 x 190 cm box spring bed and mattress to a 160 x 200 cm bed, you will feel more comfortable and in better shape in the morning. Of course, there must be enough space in the room.

What should I do if my bed base squeaks?

Does your network tend to squeak? This can quickly affect your sleep.

Here are some tips to eliminate this annoying noise. To start, make sure it's your bed base that is creaking and not other accessories, such as the mattress, legs or headboard. If the squeaking is indeed coming from the base of the bed, locate the affected area and apply some flaxseed oil.

If the slats squeak, it is best to use baby powder, dry soap or beeswax. Springs can also squeak, although this is rarer. In this case it is sufficient to apply a small drop of oil on each spring. If your network continues to creak despite everything, it's probably time to change it and buy a more solid one.
