The appropriate mattress base makes the difference in the quality of your rest.
In addition to influencing the comfort and durability of the mattress, it also improves the aesthetics of the bedroom and can even offer additional storage space.

In this article we explain the main differences between a bed with a mattress , a covered base , a mattress with sheets and other solutions — to help you choose the best base according to your mattress and lifestyle.

What is a mattress base?

The mattress base, also known as a bed base , is the structure that supports the mattress, guaranteeing stability and support.
There are several options on the market, such as:

• Bed with somier – metal structure with no storage space.

• Somier fijo o articulado.

• Covered wooden base , with integrated headrest.

Each one offers different benefits, depending on the type of mattress, the available space and the decorative style of the bedroom.

Types of mattress bases

Somier : comfort and storage on a single stone

The bed with somier is a robust, covered and visually elegant base.
It can include interior storage space, ideal for small homes.

Advantages:

• Uniform support for the mattress.

• Modern and minimalist design.

• Possibility of including header and storage space.

Discover all the available options and find the perfect somier for your space.

Bed frame

Made up of flexible wooden panels, it is a functional and affordable option.

Advantages:

• Lightness and simplicity.

• Good mattress ventilation.

• A more economical alternative.

What is the best base depending on the type of mattress?

The compatibility between mattress and base is essential for the comfort and durability of both elements:

• Mattresses with viscoelastic foam: ideal for flat, covered or articulated bases. Our bases include systems that favor ventilation.

• Muelle mattresses: work best with rigid bases, such as beds with somier or covered bases.

• Latex mattresses: require effective ventilation; Lama somieres are the most recommended.

What is the best sleeper for your bedroom?

It all depends on space and various needs:

• Small bedroom: opt for a somier with storage ( folding or with cajones).

• Large space: a metal (rounded corners) or wooden (straight corners) somier with cajones will be more practical and elegant.

Depending on the model, we ensure that it offers a uniform base, good ventilation and compatibility with your mattress.

Somier with storage: the perfect solution for reduced spaces

Rooms with storage space are a practical option for making use of interior space and keeping the bedroom orderly.
Allows you to store bed linen, blankets or objects for seasonal use.

They are presented in one of the main formats:

• Folding system.

• Lateral drawers.

Both versions include a reinforced structure, prepared to support the weight of the mattress and stored objects.

Difference between top and base blades

The somier has a taped structure, can include headboard and storage, and provides an elegant and contemporary appearance. At Mercado del Colchón we offer a wide range of fabrics and colors to match your decorating style. The blade somier, however, is a light structure with wooden slabs, more economical and traditional.

Importance of the bed head

The header is an element that is often underestimated.
In addition to beautifying the bedroom, it offers comfortable support for reading or watching television in bed.

Types of headers :

• Floor taps : modern, cozy and comfortable.

• Minimalist : in wood or plain fabrics.

• Classic or contemporary: adaptable to different styles.

Choose a headboard that matches your brighter mood and complements the decor of the space.

Advantages of investing on a quality basis

• Improves posture and comfort during sleep.

• Increases the durability of the mattress.

• Improves the aesthetics of the bedroom.

• Provides functionality, especially in models with integrated storage.

Choosing the right mattress base is as important as choosing your own mattress. Analyze the available space, the type of mattress you have and the decorative style.

Whether there is a folding base , a slatted base or a covered base, it is essential to guarantee comfort, support and functionality. Chosen as the perfect base for your mattress and transforming your rest and bedroom.
