Bed
The bed has been the traditional support option for mattresses. It is produced in different materials and consists of a structure, which includes a set of slats, which support the weight of the mattress.

Advantages of Bed Base:
- The support surface is more stable and therefore ensures greater durability of the mattress
- Provides greater comfort, support and stability, cushioning the weight of the body and the pressure it exerts on the mattress
- Enables effective ventilation of the mattress (as long as it does not have storage drawer(s), as this feature inhibits air circulation)
- Possibility of customization
