Slimline Mattress Base
Built to last
Don't let flexible slats ruin your mattress investment. At Ausbeds, we've seen firsthand how the wrong bed frame can ruin even the highest-quality mattress. Approximately 70% of mattress problems stem from one culprit: bed frames with flexible slats.
Get your foundation right!
Your mattress foundation determines how well your mattress performs. Flexible slats bend under your body weight, particularly around your hips, which is your heaviest area, creating sag, uneven support and pressure points that people mistakenly blame on the mattress itself. The more they flex, the softer your sleeping surface becomes, undermining everything your mattress is designed to do. These flexible slats are popular because they're cheap to manufacture and ship, but they sabotage even premium mattresses. Solid wood slats provide the dead-flat, rigid surface your mattress needs to function properly. A $500 mattress on solid slats will outperform a $3,000 mattress on flexible ones. Get the foundation right first!
