The bed base of the retractable bed: the slatted bed base
The foldaway wardrobe bed is designed to be as comfortable as it is practical, and above all to occupy small spaces (bedroom, living room, a small small room, etc.). As such, it therefore integrates a real box spring into its structure. However, in order to adapt to the folding bed system and the depth of the wardrobe, this bed base is necessarily slatted.
It is therefore light and easy to handle: a spring base, due to its thickness and weight, would not find its place in a foldaway wardrobe bed. Concerning the technology of the bed base , you will always have slats. It will then be up to you to check the wood used, the number of slats and the type of slats, to ensure that the quality and comfort are there.
