A variety of bed bases are available, including traditional divans or ottomans with storage and stylish bed frames. The bed base you choose can affect how your mattress feels and performs. It’s essential to ensure the two are compatible so that the mattress is properly supported.

A trundle bed is a low bed that can be stored underneath another bed and easily pulled out when in use by visitors.

A bed frame is also referred to as a bedstead and is a type of bed base that supports the mattress. Bed frames come in various styles, such as wood, metal, fabric and leather.

Bed height matters because it affects how easily you get in and out of bed. This is especially important for older adults or those with mobility issues. To determine the ideal bed height, you should be able to sit comfortably on the edge of the mattress with both feet flat on the floor and your knees level with your hips.
