What is a bed frame?
Types of slatted frames: Rigid slatted frame
Bed frame is another word for slatted frame. This comes in various designs. The simplest form of the slatted frame is the rigid slatted frame. This can still be found in many households. Spring mattresses are often placed on rigid slatted frames, as they do not tolerate adjustments very well. Even rigid slatted frames usually have a division into zones, which helps to support or relieve different body parts. 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.
Adjustable slatted frame
With a slatted frame that is adjustable, the head and/or foot section can usually be adjusted in height independently of each other. This allows you to comfortably read a book or watch TV in bed. Or you can simply relax and put your feet up. Cold foam mattresses, visco or latex mattresses are particularly suitable for adjustable slatted frames, as they better accommodate personal settings and directly transfer them 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 spring wood 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 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.

Slatted frames have many advantages over conventional slatted bases. Slats cannot give way pointwise but only over the entire length of the slat. In contrast, slatted frames can adapt individually to the body every few centimeters. A slatted frame offers perfect pressure relief and has, due to the modules that move in all directions, which are typical for a slatted frame, an unparalleled point elasticity, which particularly benefits side sleepers. Often, with such a slatted frame, the degree of hardness can be adjusted at the individual modules, providing virtually endless possibilities to customize the support to individual needs.
size of slatted frame
The size selection for slatted frames is naturally 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 beds, the size and number of slatted frames are 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, the fundamental question arises 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.
Zone slatted frame
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, lower back, 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.
