Types of bed bases and key features

Understand core types so you match form with function quickly.

Bed bases are the foundation under a mattress. Typical types include divan, ottoman, platform, and sprung bases. Each type changes feel, storage and mattress compatibility.

Divan bases

Divan bases sit low and often include drawer storage.

They suit small rooms because drawers use horizontal space. Divans pair well with most mattress types and often come in zip-and-link sizes for flexibility. See the bed bases collection for contract-grade divan options.

Ottoman bases

Ottomans provide large under-bed storage accessed by lifting the base.

They are ideal when floor space is limited. Many ottomans use gas-lift systems for easy access. Ottomans cost slightly more but maximize storage.

Platform and sprung bases

Platform bases give a firm, modern support platform for mattresses.

Sprung bases add a gentle give for comfort and breathability. Choose a platform for a firm feel and sprung for a softer sleeping surface.

Support features to check

Choose bases that protect mattress life and add edge support.

• Pocket-sprung edges improve edge support and reduce sagging.

• Foam perimeter adds stability for sitting on the bed.

• Crib 5 or similar fire safety testing shows contract-standard compliance.

Buying advice for Huddersfield shoppers

Start with mattress compatibility, then plan for delivery and removal services.

Measure doorways and hallways before ordering. Many Huddersfield stores and online sellers offer delivery windows and optional assembly. Ask about recycling or old-bed removal to avoid hassle.

Budget pointers: You can find bases under £200, but quality and warranty matter. Look for 1-year or longer warranties and NBF-member retailers for assurance. Trusted review sources like Which? help verify value.

Delivery and installation: Prime suppliers, such as Prime Contract Beds, offer UK delivery within 3–7 days and optional assembly and recycling fees. Confirm delivery times for Huddersfield to avoid waiting.
