The foundation for a rejuvenated body often begins with the right bed base which sets the stage for optimal comfort and restfulness. So, if you’re a solo sleeper but still find yourself having a restless night and not feeling comfortable in your bed, maybe you should think about replacing it. 

Consider investing in a sturdy and supportive bed frame that will give your body optimal support and feel like a cosy heaven. Visit a well-equipped AU single bed store and find your dream bed. 

Types of Single Bed Bases

Besides having the right mattress, for a good sleep, it’s important to have the right bed base as well. Different bed bases offer different levels of support and comfort for the mattress. Choosing the right type of base can definitely help you have a more restful night. Find an Au single bed store that offers a wider range of bed bases as you have greater chances of finding what works for you. 

Floating Base

A floating base has no visible support legs. Instead, the support is placed in the middle under the bed base that remains hidden and this is what creates the illusion of a floating mattress. The bed frame is mounted on the wall, and this minimalist design maximises floor space which allows for greater flexibility around the room. Because the headboard is attached to the wall, it’s important that the bed is anchored to the wall strongly and properly so it can bear the weight of the mattress and the sleeper. 

When it comes to body support, they are more suitable for individuals with smaller body weights, as these beds do not offer the same level of reinforcement as other bases with traditional bed support. 

Platform Base

A platform single size bed has a solid, flat surface which provides direct support to the mattress and as such, it does not require a box spring or additional foundation. Because of the bed’s flat and even layout, it offers excellent body support for solo sleepers. It provides a firm and stable foundation for the mattress, it distributes the weight evenly and it reduces the pressure points. Platform bases promote proper spinal alignment during sleep so it makes a better choice for those who struggle with hip and back pain. 

Additionally, the solid construction of the platform base ensures consistent support across the entire mattress surface, which significantly reduces the risk of mattress sagging. 

Slat Base

If you’re looking for a single bed that can provide better airflow and ventilation to your mattress, then consider getting a bed that has a slat base. 

A slat base features wooden or metal slats that are positioned horizontally across the bed frame that provide support for the mattress. 

These bed bases are flexible, yet sturdy enough to support your body weight and they are excellent solutions for preventing moisture buildup in the mattress. Thanks to this innovative design, the base facilitates airflow which ensures that your mattress stays fresh and dry. You get a cooler sleep environment so you can enjoy a more comfortable night's rest.    

However, this base might not provide the right support for all body weights. Larger individuals might benefit more from sleeping on a platform bed, a bed with a heavy-duty metal frame, an ottoman bed or a divan base with a solid wooden frame. 

Gas Lift Base

When talking about gas lift bases, we are talking about ottoman beds, which are one of the most popular types of beds and with a good reason. The base of these beds incorporates hydraulic mechanisms that serve to lift the mattress platform, revealing a hidden storage space beneath. This is such a practical design that it’s of significant help for individuals who don’t have a lot of storage space in the room. 

Ottoman beds provide reliable body support due to their solid construction and stable lifting mechanism. They ensure proper body alignment and minimise pressure points, which makes it great for individuals with hip and back problems. Plus, the hydraulic system allows easy access to the storage compartment without compromising the integrity of the mattress support.  

Storage Base

Storage base beds are another convenient option that provides storage space without the need to lift the base. The convenience of these beds lies in their built-in drawers or compartments within the bed frame which provides additional space for storing your clothes, linens and other belongings. 

They feature a solid foundation for supporting the mattress and provide robust body support similar to that of platform bases. 

Choose Your Style

Single beds are available in various styles so you can always find something that suits your personal taste and preference. If you prefer a minimalist style, look for single beds that feature clean lines and sleek finishes. If a rustic or farmhouse is your cup of tea, go for beds made from natural materials like solid wood, to create a warm and cosy look. 

And if you prefer something more versatile that goes well with different styles, an upholstered single bed is sure to suit any interior. 

Check for Customisation Options 

There are many single beds for sale that come with customizable options. If you manage to find a store that offers this possibility, you’re a lucky person because you get to transform your dream into a tangible reality. By choosing the size, style, material, colour, finish and height settings, you get a bed tailored to your individual preferences and needs.
