Divan beds

Platform top bases contain no springs and the mattress is resting on a solid platform which makes a very firm sleep system. The extent of the firmness will depend on the gauge number of the spring in the mattress. A 12 gauge spring unit will feel a great deal firmer than a 13 gauge spring unit.

A Sprung  edge base will soften the feel of a very firm mattress and has the same number of springs as a Bonnell mattress unit of the same size. The springs of a sprung edge base are on top of the base which is like having two mattresses next to each other. This makes the sleep system quite soft at the edges and one should not sit on the edge of a sprung edge bed if it can be avoided.

A Firm edge base consists of heavy gauge springs inside the base frame which fasten to wooden lats and are then cross-webbed to hold the springs in place. These cross-webbed springs are usually just above the top of the frame so when the mattress is put on the base and body weight is put on them, the springs "give" slightly and the mattress rests on the edges of the frames supported by the firm spring unit under the mattress. This makes a comfortable sleep system just a little firmer than a sprung edge system.

Before you select your new bed it is imperative that you try out the various sleep systems available to you i.e. Pocket springing, Memory foam, Bonnell springing, Sprung edge, Platform top etc. A mattress on a sprung base will feel a lot softer than the same mattress on a solid base. Whichever bed you select you want it to give you complete satisfaction regarding comfort and support. Please choose a catagory from our collection of divans below.
