How to choose your Murphy bed ? To answer this question, it's important to take a closer look at the bedding itself. The mattress isn't the only important factor in your sleeping comfort: the bed base also plays a role. Which bed base should you choose for your Murphy bed cabinet? We explain in detail the impact the bed base has on the quality of your nights.
The base of the Murphy bed: the slatted base
The foldaway wall bed is designed to be as comfortable as it is practical, and above all to occupy small spaces (bedroom, living room, a small room, etc.). As such, it therefore incorporates a real bed base into its structure . However, in order to adapt to the folding bed system and the depth of the wardrobe, this bed base must be slatted.
It is therefore light and easy to handle: a box spring, due to its thickness and weight, could not find its place in a fold-away wall bed. Regarding the technology of the box spring , you will always have slats. It will then be up to you to check the wood used, the number of slats and the type of slats, to ensure that the quality and comfort are there.
Important points for the base of the Murphy bed
Slatted bed bases are high-quality pieces of furniture that generally feature beechwood slats. You should also choose a bed base with active slats : articulated slats that move with you. This is very important to provide personalized support for different areas of your body.
We often tend to forget it, but the bed base is just as responsible as your mattress for the quality of your sleep. The best combination with a slatted bed base will generally be a latex or memory foam mattress .
The dimensions of the retractable bed base
When choosing your bed base , several dimensions are available depending on your needs. The Murphy bed can in fact include a single bed, in different types of dimensions 80 x 190 or 90 x 190.
Bedding can be for two, with a classic 140 x 190 format. Finally, Queen Size (160 x 200) and King Size (180 x 200) are also options for even more comfort.
