The base of the bed is a very important part of rest. You can think that the mattress is paramount, and in fact it is. But the truth is that you need a suitable bed base for our mattress.
If you have recently decided that you have to change the mattress because it is too worn out or it is already more than 10 years old, you have to ask yourself if the time has also come to change the mattress base .
Although at first sight it seems that it is in optimal conditions, you should bear in mind that a worn bed structure will not allow your mattress to provide all its properties.

For all this, we will analyze the different bed bases of the market and see which is best complemented by your mattress.
In addition, you will see that there are many options and that it can be a key part of the bedroom, since the bed base offers many storage options and amenities , such as the train bed, which allow us to have an amazing bedroom for our children, who can share room without losing space.
WHAT TYPES OF BED BASES ARE THERE?
Bed bases are many, of all types and styles you can imagine. Then we will present the different types of beds that are demanded in the market.
We will show you, on the one hand, the bed structures that best take advantage of the space and, on the other, other types of more general bedding:
BETTER USE OF SPACE
1. NIGHT BED AND BED CANGURO
The differences between trundle and kangaroo are not too many, but they do exist. Specifically, a trundle bed is formed by two beds, or even three, forming a single piece of furniture.
A kangaroo bed is made up of a bed frame that has another bed base underneath. The latter is easily extracted from below to form two beds. In general, the two terms are confused and that is why we have decided to talk to you about the two together.
In the market we can find two types of bed, but the truth is that the trundle bed with drawers is an evolution of the kangaroo bed .
In addition, the trundle bed can have more functionalities than that of housing two beds, since it can be found with three beds, more in the style of bunk beds, and can have drawers, desks and even closets.
If you are looking for a double bed with storage , this can be a very good solution, especially for small rooms.
2. TRAIN AND LITERA BED
The train beds are very similar to the bunk beds of a lifetime, but there is a difference between the two. In the case of bunk beds, one bed is on top of the other, vertically.
On the contrary, the train bed does not have a bed on top of the other just in the vertical, but it is on top but on one side. Look at the images and compare:
Today we find many ways to take advantage of space. In fact, you can find folding bunk beds, that is, they are taken out of the closet when you go to sleep, being able to enjoy much more of the room when the beds are collected.
But if you need a bed base with drawers , and even with wardrobes, the best option is a train bed, since the bed is to one side and not just above, you can use the space between them to Save all kinds of things, so it's a good choice of double bed with storage.
The train bed seems like a great opportunity for the children's rooms , especially if they have to share a room and the bedroom tends to be elongated.
3. FOLDING BED
The folding beds also allow us to take advantage of the space optimally, since they can be stored almost anywhere when we do not need them . In addition, this type of bed structure is usually very resistant and flexible. It is undoubtedly a good option that can get us out of trouble when we receive guests at home.
In the market there is a wide range of extra beds. Before buying one you will have to take into account the size you want, if you want it to be folded vertically or horizontally, the quality of the mattress and the supports.
4. FOLDING BED
Although there are very modern, this type of bed dates from the nineteenth century. They are an ideal solution to the lack of space and solve us in a moment any unexpected visit.
Nowadays, there are very modern and sophisticated ones. There are folding beds that are barely detectable, as they adapt perfectly to the decoration of the home.
In addition, some even have folding desk, wardrobe, drawers and even bookstore. We can also choose between the vertical or horizontal folding option.
What do you think about this option? We LOVE YOU
5. SOFA BASE GOLD BED (ABATIBLE SOFA)
The sofa bed is great to gain space in the room and, in addition, allows us to store many things under it , so it is another of the best options if we want a bed with storage.
If we need more cabinets, this type of bed is great for it. It has happened to all of us that we do not know where to store our clothes when we change seasons, or we need to store many towels or sheets ... If you feel identified, this is your solution.
Also, if you are looking for a base for a bed without legs (although there are also legs) these are ideal . Take a look at our article " Selection of the best cheaper canapés " to buy the right canapé without leaving you a fortune.

OTHER BEDS
1. SOMIER
The box spring is the classic of the classics. It consists of a support that is usually made of metal (although there are also wooden ones) that has transverse sheets of wood or other materials.
The firmness of the same will depend on the amount of sheets that are available and the width of these. Many of them allow to regulate the firmness, adapting to the needs of the consumer by means of the displacement of some tensors .
somier
They exist in a multitude of sizes. The larger ones for double beds usually have a bar in the center that allows more firmness.
This type of bed base would be very suitable for a latex mattress , since it allows good ventilation.
2. UPHOLSTERED BASE
This type of bed base, unlike the bed bases, offer a lot of firmness to the mattress and our rest , since its base is totally rigid. Upholstered bases can be of two types:
1. Rigid cover, which hardly allows perspiration, but which are ideal for spring mattresses.
2. Upholstered with breathable fabrics and even have a microperforated board, which considerably increases the ventilation of the mattress, providing the greatest firmness to foam mattresses, springs or viscoelastic mattresses . In Alsobre we do not recommend latex, since they are the ones that need more ventilation.

3. ARTICULATED BASE
The articulated bases are a real pass. They allow you to be in bed reading, watching TV, looking at your mobile or tablet ... having at all times an ideal posture for your health and avoid hurting especially your back.
Although if you have insomnia problems, in our article Home Remedies to sleep well We recommend that you do not do these things in bed, especially before going to sleep. If you want more information on the subject , take a look at the article.
Articulated beds have an advantage that we like very much in Alsobre , since we advocate for health and care.
And this type of bed allows us to lift the legs, so they are ideal for people with tired legs, poor circulation or back pain .
There is no doubt that they are ideal for people who have to spend a lot of time in bed and have reduced mobility, as it allows them to move.
Its main drawback is usually the price and space it occupies, although we can find some very cheap that are worth buying. And eye! You will have to buy a mattress for an articulated bed, it is not worth anyone .

4. TATAMI BED
This type of bed comes directly from Japan and I do not know about you, but it really amazes us. The most normal thing is that they are made with natural products, wood, rice straw ...
Visually they seem beautiful, but you can also give more uses to your bed base, something that you had not raised.
This type of beds have a special mattress called futon, which must be very easy to store and transport, which allows us to increase its functionality a lot.
Within the tatamis we have the most original Japanese that are at ground level (as in the image above) and some that have adapted a little more to our customs, rising a few inches off the ground.
To sleep, the futon is pulled out and stretched on the tatami and ... voila! We have a Japanese bed in a few minutes.
During the day we can pick up the futon and use the tatami to do yoga or other sports, let the children play and we can even put the futon in such a way that it can serve as a sofa.
How about?
It can be considered a type of modern and original bed, without a doubt.
