Rigid or flexible?

A rigid frame serves above all to ventilate the mattress – the right choice for futons, firm natural mattresses and anyone who wants to sleep on a firm base. A flexible frame with pre-tensioned sprung slats additionally supports the contouring of the mattress; the softer the mattress, the more noticeable the effect. On both types the gap between the slats and the slat width should not exceed 4–5 cm – all our frames meet that. Flexible frames need an insert depth of at least 10 cm in the bed frame. For stability, rigid frames are split from 140 cm wide and flexible frames from 160 cm; the bed then needs a centre rail, which our beds include from those sizes.

Which frame suits your natural latex mattress is explained in our guide Rigid or flexible slatted frame? – and in person at our bed store in Berlin.
