You already have a bed base or you want a special bed base (with slats, studs, etc.), and you want to integrate this bed base into a bed frame , but how do you do it? In general, there are three scenarios and we offer you solutions that will allow you to mount your bed frame around your bed base and thus add a decorative dimension to your bedroom.
The legs of your box spring are the same height as those of your bed frame.
If the legs of your box spring are the same height as those of your bed frame, assembly will be very simple.
In the case of a double bed (from 140 x 190 cm), you will need to remove the outer feet of your bed base.
- To begin, make sure that the leg(s) attached to the center reinforcement bar of your box spring are the same height as the legs of your bed frame.
- Next, remove the outer legs of your box spring so that you can integrate it into your bed frame.
- Finally, simply place your box spring on the side support bars of your bed frame.
The legs of your box spring are not the same height as those of your bed frame
If the legs of your box spring are not the same height as those of your bed frame, assembly will be different, but still just as simple.
In the case of a double bed (from 140 x 190 cm), you will need to keep the feet of your box spring and those of your bed frame.
This may seem surprising to you, but rest assured, we have the solution. In fact, since the feet of the bed frame are located directly in the corners of the bed and those of the box spring are generally placed back from the corner (about 10-15 cm further inside), they will not overlap.
- To begin, we recommend comparing the height of your box spring and bed frame, to ensure that your box spring does not exceed the total height of the bed frame, in which case it would be visible.
- Next, remove the side support bars from your bed frame, these are intended to support the bed base without the legs, and therefore will not be useful in this case (bed base with legs).
- Finally, position your entire box spring with legs inside your bed frame. That's it! All you have to do now is put your mattress on and you're ready to sleep.
Single size bed: box spring and bed frame for one person
In the case of a single bed (generally 90 x 190 cm), you will simply need to remove the feet from your bed base.
In fact, you just need to place your box spring on the side support bars of your bed frame.
Make sure that the dimensions of your bed base and bed frame match. In fact, there are other single bed dimensions, such as 80 x 200 cm or 90 x 200 cm. These dimensions are becoming more and more common due to the average height of the population, which is increasing.
Why put your box spring in a bed frame?
Putting your box spring in a bed frame has several advantages, first of all you can choose the bed frame according to your desires, to personalize the decoration of your room as you wish. And above all the bed frame allows optimal ventilation of the box spring and the mattress! This will protect your mattress from humidity and ensure good ventilation of your bedding. Your mattress will therefore have a longer lifespan thanks to a bed frame.
Which box spring should you integrate into your bed frame?
It will depend on your preferences, the bed being the central piece of your room, it is normal that we want to find an aesthetic piece of furniture with a decoration that matches the rest of the room.
Most of our bed bases are compatible with all our beds and bed frames. To find out which type of bed base to choose, you can consult our article “how to choose the right bed base”.
