Mattresses Slatted Frames

Which slatted frame fits which mattress?

Mattress slatted frames - The perfect combination for very good comfort

Mattresses and slatted frames should be coordinated with each other. To do this, one must know which slatted frame harmonizes with which mattress. Not every mattress is suitable for every slatted frame. And not every mattress is suitable for every person. Here, one should pay close attention to the individual preferences and characteristics of each customer.

Types of mattress slatted frames: Rigid slatted frame

The most natural form of the slatted frame is the rigid slatted frame. 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.

Adjustable slatted frame

In an adjustable slatted frame, the head and/or foot sections can usually be adjusted in height independently of each other. This way, you can comfortably read a book or watch TV in bed. Cold foam mattresses, visco or latex mattresses are particularly suitable for adjustable slatted frames, as they better accommodate personal settings and transfer them directly to the body. Pocket spring and spring mattresses are not suitable, as they dampen the adjustment effect. For a double bed, it is advisable to purchase two separate slatted frames, so that they can be individually and optimally adjusted to the lying needs of each person.

Slatted frame electrically adjustable

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 practically divided into two parts, so the upper back area can be adjusted individually and the lower leg area or foot section can be lowered. 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.

Mattresses slatted frame variations

  • Roller slats: A roller slat is easier to transport than rigid slatted frames. You can store a roller slat space-savingly if you want to use it for a guest bed, for example. Roller slats are the cheapest option compared to other slatted frames.
  • Wooden slatted frame: the most common type of slatted frame.
  • Plate slatted frame: In the strict sense, a plate slatted frame is not a slatted frame; it does not consist of slats like conventional slatted frames but of movable plates. The discs look like small plates. A plate slatted frame is good for side sleepers; it optimally relieves the shoulder and pelvis.

Mattresses plate- slatted frame

Before purchasing a modular frame, it should be clarified whether your mattress is suitable for this type of support. Pocket spring mattresses, for example, are unsuitable, among other reasons, because the material and suspension can be damaged by the point load. Foam mattresses, on the other hand, are extremely point-elastic and adapt to the springing individual elements of the modular frame. Cold foam and viscoelastic mattresses, which enhance the positive properties of a plate frame support, are therefore particularly well suited and achieve the best ergonomic effects.

Mattresses slatted frame zones

If you decide to buy a slatted frame with lying zones, your mattress should also have lying zones, and exactly the same number. A mattress can be divided into several lying zones to allow for a body-conforming bedding. Each body part of a person has an individual weight, and this must be optimally balanced by the mattress. Heavier areas like shoulders and buttocks need to sink in deeper to ensure a natural shape of the spine even in the sleeping position. Lying zones support the correct positioning of the entire body and are represented in foam mattresses by vertical and horizontal cut profiles in the mattress core. In spring mattresses, different wire thicknesses and covering foams are used to create differently firm zones. A cold foam mattress typically has five or seven zones.

Number of zones

However, a high number of sleeping zones does not necessarily mean higher comfort, as for many people a larger number of zones is often not noticeable. The reason for this is different body sizes. Sleep habits also vary from person to person, so no clear statement can be made about a general sleeping position. What matters is that the sleeping zones harmonize with your body and posture. In line with multi-zone mattresses, there are now also slatted frames or bed frames with multi-zone technology. A slatted frame with several sleeping zones is equipped with individually adapted Hardness Level for the individual body regions. This means that there is a special shoulder depression in the neck and head zone, while a reinforcement in the hip area provides the right support for the pelvis and lumbar region. In comfortable slatted frames, the sleeping zones can even be individually adjusted. When choosing a slatted frame, various criteria should be taken into account. What size is needed? The most popular sizes of slatted frames are:

  • 80 x 200 cm
  • 90 x 200 cm
  • 100 x 200 cm
  • 140 x 200 cm

It is also important which sleeping position you prefer:

  • Side position
  • Back position
  • Stomach position
  • Changing sleeping positions

What properties should the slatted frame have? Here you can choose between:

  • Manual adjustability
  • Electric adjustability

Slatted frame for cold foam mattress

The cold foam mattress:

  • Structure: Divided into sleeping zones by cuts in the cold foam core; the higher the core, the better the body adaptation.
  • Features: Very good surface elasticity, high support force, low weight of the mattress.
  • Feeling of lying: You feel the supportive effect of the mattress, do not sink in very deeply, and lie medium-soft to medium-firm.
  • Suitable for: Ideal for all sleeping positions, even if you sleep relatively restlessly at night and often turn.

Slatted frame for latex mattress

The latex mattress:

  • This is important: A good latex mattress offers 5 zones and should have a slightly thicker core.
  • Structure: Divided into sleeping zones by different hole thicknesses in the latex core.
  • Properties: Very good point elasticity, high shape stability, very well suited for electric slatted frames, high weight of the mattress.
  • Feeling of lying: You lie softly and sink in relatively far. The mattress adapts exactly to the body contour.
  • Suitable for whom: Ideal if you sleep on your side and like to lie softly.

Mattress slatted frame for viscoelastic foam mattress

The viscoelastic foam mattress:

  • Construction: Cold foam core with viscoelastic foam layer, divided into sleeping zones by cuts in the cold foam.
  • Properties: Ideal pressure relief through heat-induced adaptation to the body contour with "memory" effect, very good point elasticity, highly elastic, high shape stability.
  • Feeling of lying: You lie medium-soft to medium-firm and almost weightlessly without noticeable pressure differences on the various body areas.
  • Suitable for whom: Suitable for all sleeping positions, perfect for side sleeping. Also ideal for back problems. Not recommended for restless sleep.
  • This is important: The room temperature in the bedroom should be at least 18 °C; otherwise, the mattress is too hard and cannot adapt optimally. The more often you turn in your sleep, the thinner the viscoelastic foam layer of the chosen mattress should be.

Mattress slatted frame for pocket spring mattress

The pocket spring core mattress

  • Construction: Individually sewn-in pocket springs, core wrapped with padding, divided into sleeping zones by different wire thicknesses or tension of the springs.
  • Properties: Good point elasticity, very good air circulation, and optimal sleeping climate, very high support strength.
  • Feeling of lying: You feel the supportive effect of the mattress, do not sink in very deeply, and lie medium-soft to medium-firm.
  • Suitable for: Optimal for all sleeping positions, also suitable for heavy night sweating and/or a high body weight.
  • This is important: The more springs per square meter are used, the higher the quality of the mattress and the more accurately it can adapt to the details of the body contour. In some cases, a higher number of springs also results in greater firmness. Pay attention to our information on the respective product page.

Good manufacturers of slatted frames inquire about these features and provide recommendations for them. Before you decide on a slatted frame, it is worth reading various tests.

Mattresses Slatted frame Mattress test - 30 days trial sleep

To assess whether a mattress is suitable for one's own needs, a few minutes of testing in the store is by no means sufficient. Especially if the previous mattress was very saggy or did not fit particularly well with the body and sleeping habits, it can take some time for the body to unlearn its previous protective or incorrect posture. For this reason, Mister Sandman offers you the opportunity to test sleep for a full 30 days and nights to thoroughly test your new mattress.
