Nowadays, four types of mattresses dominate the bedroom furniture market. These are usually differentiated by their filling material. The most common mattress types are:
Foam mattress
Spring mattress
Natural mattress
Latex mattress
With the two first-mentioned mattresses there are still further sub- or mixed forms. Foam mattresses are divided into gel foam mattresses, cold foam mattresses and visco foam mattresses. You can find innerspring mattresses in the variants of barrel pocket spring mattress, bonell spring mattress as well as box spring mattress.

The harmonious combination of mattress and slatted bed base ensures a restful sleep. If you have a foam or gel mattress, I advise you to use a slatted bed base with many slats and close spacing. A slatted bed base that you can adjust is also suitable for these types of mattress.
However, if you sleep on an innerspring mattress, you will need a slatted bed base with fewer slats and greater spacing. The reason for this is that this mattress is usually divided into lying zones.
With cold foam or visco foam mattresses, make sure that the slatted bed base has at least 28 slats with a minimum spacing of three to four centimetres. Otherwise, the slats press into the mattress and disturb your lying feeling.

You can find all types of slatted bed frames in our category “Beds”.

There are a few tips you should take to heart when caring for your mattress. One is to turn and rotate your mattress every one to two months. This helps to ensure even wear and sufficient ventilation. You can also stand the mattress up occasionally so that more air can get to it. The market offers so-called reversible mattresses, which have a summer and winter side.
Secondly, it is important to clean the mattress cover. House dust and mites accumulate in it over time and penetrate to the core of the mattress. For this reason, modern mattresses are equipped with a removable mattress cover, which usually has a circular zipper. You simply put it in the washing machine every three months.
Furthermore, I advise you not to vacuum your mattress with a vacuum cleaner. This can damage the structure of the mattress.
As a further care tip, we recommend that you place a mattress protector under the bed sheet. This way you won't wear out the mattress too much and it will last for a long time.
