The box spring
You can also choose a slatted bed base in the "upholstered" version. The box spring is just the classic version of a bed base, but covered with a fabric called ticking. There is an upholstered version for most bed bases, and the slatted bed base is one of them. With the box spring, you can choose from three different models:
The classic model that stands on legs
The extra flat box spring, built into the wood of the bed
The scale model for better mattress support
The fabric-covered slatted base also has some interesting advantages. First, you can be sure of the stability of your mattress. The fabric has a much better grip, and even if you are restless while sleeping, the mattress stays in place. If you are aesthetically inclined, this is also a model that you will like.
This is also the right version for you if one of the things you value most is the longevity of your bedding. This is because the wood of the slat base and the mattress do not come into contact with each other thanks to the ticking, and this lack of contact protects both, allowing them to be used for longer.
The main weakness is ventilation. With fabric, the mattress will breathe less. It will also be a little harder to clean. Although it is possible to vacuum directly, dust and other particles cannot be completely removed. Therefore, this is a mattress base that people with atopic tendencies should definitely avoid.
