What advantages does a slatted frame 140x200 have?

Reason for using a slatted frame

A slatted frame not only supports the mattress and the sleeper, but it also optimizes sleep comfort and the good properties of the mattress. Therefore, slatted frames and mattresses should be viewed as a unit that can perfectly complement each other. Because what good is it if you buy a particularly high-quality mattress and the slatted frame, on the other hand, is worthless or incompatible with the mattress? Then, firstly, you won't enjoy the mattress for long, and secondly, it can significantly worsen the lying comfort. Because even during sleep, the spine should remain in its natural S-shape and not sag, which can certainly happen with an incorrect slatted frame.

size of slatted frame

The choice of size for slatted frames is of course closely related to the sizes of your bed, which is why we offer all slatted frames in the standard sizes. These sizes are derived from the various mattress dimensions. Depending on the choice of bed, the size and number of slatted frames is determined. For a single bed, for example, a maximum of one slatted frame 140 x 200 can be selected, and often the size 80x200 is also available. In the case of double beds, however, the fundamental question arises as to whether to use one or two slatted frames. Taking the popular bed 180 x 200 as an example, with a length of 180 cm and a width of 200 cm, it can either be equipped with one slatted frame 180 x 200 or twice with the slatted frame 90 x 200. The width for the frames is a maximum of 200 centimeters. Here is an overview of the slatted frame sizes:

slatted frame 90x200 cm
slatted frame 100x200 cm
slatted frame 120x200 cm
slatted frame 140x200 cm
Slatted frame 160x200 cm
Slatted frame 180x200 cm
Slatted frame 200 x 200 cm

The standard length for beds, mattresses, and slatted frames in Germany is 200 centimeters. Some manufacturers also offer special sizes of 220 cm.

Zones slatted frame 140x200

Currently, the market predominantly offers slatted frames with five or seven zones. If individual adjustments are to be made in all body areas, a slatted frame with at least five zones is required. These body areas include the head, shoulders, lumbar region, hips, and legs. Even more adjustments can be made with a 7-zone slatted frame. To form a homogeneous unit from the mattress and the adjustable slatted frame, it is important that the mattress has the same number of zones as the slatted frame. For older people, a slatted frame equipped with a motor is suitable. This allows adjustments to be made while lying down, without having to leave the bed. With a 7-zone slatted frame, adjustments can be made for the following body parts:

The heels
The calves
The thighs
The lumbar spine
The buttocks
The neck
The back
The head

The shoulder area is usually not adjustable on a 7-zone slatted frame to prevent the bending of the cervical spine. A slatted frame with 5 zones has a total of 25 slats and is less adjustable than a 7-zone slatted frame.

Slatted frame 140x200 types: Rigid slatted frame 140x200

The simplest form of the slatted frame is the rigid slatted frame. This can still be found in many households. Pocket spring mattresses are often placed on rigid slatted frames, which do not tolerate adjustments very well. Even the rigid slatted frames usually have a division into zones, which helps to support or relieve different body areas. Individual zones are thus adjustable, which is particularly good for the shoulder area. The slatted frame has a certain number of spring slats; the more spring slats, the better the body can be cushioned. The spring slats can be made from different materials, which affects the properties of the slatted frame.

Lattenrost 140x200 verstellbar

Bei einem Lattenrost der verstellbar ist, lassen sich meist Kopf und/oder Fußteil unabhängig voneinander in der Höhe verstellen. Somit kann man dann gemütlich im Bett ein Buch lesen oder fernsehen. Oder man kann einfach ganz entspannt die Füße hochlegen. Für verstellbare Lattenroste eignen sich besonders gut Kaltschaummatratzen, Vsco- oder Latexmatratzen. da diese die persönlichen Einstellungen besser aufnehmen und direkt an den Körper weitergeben. Nicht geeignet sind Taschenfederkern- und Federkernmatratzen, da diese die Einstellwirkung dämpfen. Für ein Ehebett empfiehlt sich die Anschaffung von zwei getrennten Lattenrosten, damit diese persönlich und optimal auf die Liegebedürfnisse der einzelnen Person eingestellt werden können.

Lattenrost 140x200 elektrisch verstellbar

Slatted frames that are electrically adjustable are usually operated with 4 independent motors. These slatted frames are generally more expensive than slatted frames without motors, but they also offer more sleeping comfort. Usually, in a slatted frame that is electrically adjustable, not only the head and foot sections are adjustable, but they are also essentially divided, so the upper back area can be adjusted individually and the lower leg area or the foot section can be lowered. However, there is also the slatted frame with an adjustable head section. There are also 7 zone slatted frames, which allow for a more precise body adaptation, as the lying surface is divided into smaller adjustable areas. Accordingly, one should also use a 7 zone mattress.

Slatted frame 140x200 variations

Roller frame: A roller frame is easier to transport than rigid slatted frames. You can store a roller frame space-savingly if you want to use it for a guest bed, for example. Roller frames are the cheapest option compared to other slatted frames.

Wooden frame with springs: the most common type of slatted frame.

Slatted frame with discs: In the strict sense, a slatted frame with discs is not a slatted frame; it does not consist of slats like conventional slatted frames but rather of movable discs. The discs look like small plates. A slatted frame with discs is good for side sleepers, as it optimally relieves the shoulder and pelvis. The discs can adjust to the body more independently than slats because they can be individually adjusted by 360 degrees. With slatted frames with discs, the firmness can be individually adjusted to the different body zones. In general, slatted frames with discs are considered very soft, as they give way very specifically. One should definitely test a slatted frame with discs beforehand, as they are also not cheap to purchase. There are also hybrids, where the slatted frame consists of a combination of slats and discs. The discs are usually arranged in the shoulder or pelvic area, as the discs ensure optimal sinking.

Plate slatted frame 140x200

Plate slatted frames have many advantages over conventional slatted frames. Slats cannot give way pointwise but only over the entire length of the slat. Plate slatted frames, on the other hand, can adapt individually to the body every few centimeters. A plate slatted frame offers perfect pressure relief and has an incomparable point elasticity due to the modules that can move in all directions, which is particularly beneficial for side sleepers. Often, with such a slatted frame, the hardness level can be adjusted for the individual modules, providing virtually endless possibilities to customize the support to individual needs.

Materials slatted frame 140x200

For the production of a slatted frame, different types of wood are used. Primarily, birch wood, ash wood, and beech wood are utilized, which differ in terms of their durability and load-bearing capacity. Beech wood is particularly suitable as it is extremely durable, stable, and load-bearing. The quality of a slatted frame is determined not only by the type of wood used but also by the number of individual veneer layers, meaning how many layers of veneer wood are stacked and glued together. Good quality is characterized by the fact that the individual slats consist of at least five glued veneer layers, with this specification referring to individuals with a normal body weight. The situation is different for individuals with a higher body weight, for whom a seven- to tenfold gluing of the slats is recommended. In addition to the processing of the slats of the slatted frame, their width and number are of utmost importance. The quality of a slatted frame is also determined by this, as the slats fulfill specific functions. In principle, the narrower the individual slats are, the higher their number, and the greater the lying or sleeping comfort. If the slats are wide and their number is low with relatively large gaps, the movements of the body when changing sleeping positions cannot be elastically cushioned, as the slats are too static and the gaps are too large. Only many slats with small gaps guarantee point elasticity, as this base adapts to the contours of the body. A high-quality slatted frame therefore has at least 25 slats, more is better. This means that the distance between the individual slats is less than four centimeters. This is also a must for good quality. The quality of the slatted frame becomes especially important in conjunction with the mattress. A foam or latex mattress as a top layer only unfolds its full effect and elasticity when the slatted frame has a multitude of slats. Otherwise, parts of these two types of mattresses are squeezed through the too large gaps. This not only significantly reduces lying comfort but also negates the purpose and intent of the mattress and slatted frame, namely elastic and spine-relieving lying. A reproduction of the body contours is impossible with such a slatted frame. To ensure that the slatted frame can cushion the body contours accordingly, a maximum width of the slats of five centimeters is recommended. As many and as narrow slats as possible serve another purpose as well. They also ensure adequate ventilation and good air circulation, which also increases the lifespan of the mattress.
