Spring base

The box spring, a comfortable and durable bedding choice

The sprung base represents the ultimate in bedding. Coupled with an innerspring mattress, this type of suspension ensures comfortable, supple sleeping, ideal for restful nights and waking up on the right foot. A sprung base supports and ventilates the mattress. Covered with fabric, a box spring protects the bedding from dust and dust mites, at the expense of ventilation. This bedding store delivers the box spring to your home, with the option of taking back the old box spring. La Redoute, the leading fashion and interior design website, all the latest bedding trends: The box spring is an essential piece of bedding for restful nights and quality sleep.

Always covered with a protective, aesthetic fabric, the box spring is highly durable and well ventilated. Combined only with an innerspring mattress, the whole unit (box spring and innerspring mattress) welcomes you gently into your comfortable and stylish bed.

What type of suspension should I choose for my bed base?

Choosing the right bedding set is not always easy. But what criteria should you take into account when choosing your new bed base? The slat base plays a major role in sleeping comfort, and each one has its own specific features. There are two main types of slat base suspension, and a rarer hybrid type.

• The slatted base offers either rigid or medium suspension. Ideal for people with back problems, it generally requires a wooden bed frame, but a box spring with slats or a metal frame can also be directly mounted on legs. Often more affordable, it can be combined with all types of mattress, to reduce or increase firmness. On the other hand, it has poor sleeping independence, so you risk being disturbed by your partner's movements.
• Innerspring base: offers medium or soft suspension, for a plush, gentle welcome. The springs are sealed to the frame of the box spring: self-supporting, it can be placed on the floor or on removable feet. Suitable for everyone, it combines comfort, durability, good ventilation and aesthetics. What's more, it promotes muscle relaxation and blood circulation. The box spring is always upholstered, i.e. covered with an attractive protective fabric: the ticking. This improves comfort and, above all, protects against dust mites and dust. The box spring is bowl-shaped, with a support edge to wedge your mattress in place.
• Mixed box spring: these are mini-springs attached to slats.

Choosing the right springs

The quality of your sleep depends heavily on your bed base, and the more springs it has, the more comfortable it has the potential to be. However, final comfort is also influenced by the spring technology used. Biconical springs, which are characterized by their spiral shape and are knotted together, offer a progressive firmness that varies between the different zones of the bed. Then there are continuous wire springs, where a single wire, shaped into a spiral, makes up all the springs, resulting in a more uniform firmness across the entire surface of the box spring. Pocket springs, also known as multi-springs or boxsprings, feature a unique design where each spring is individually encased in a fabric compartment, maintaining its position and significantly improving sleeping independence.
To make an informed choice among these categories of box springs, it's essential to consider your desired level of comfort, your sleeping habits and your specific needs, including medical considerations.
