BED FRAME BUYING GUIDE FOR TEMPUR® MATTRESSES

SELECTING THE RIGHT BED BASE FOR A TEMPUR® MATTRESS

How to choose a bed frame or bed base?

Of course we can offer you a wide choice of bed frames and bases, ranging from classic divans or ottomans with practical storage solutions alongside stylish frames, both standard and adjustable. All have been designed to optimise the performance of your TEMPUR® mattress. Whatever you decide to do, to ensure you make the right choice here are some points to help you.

TEMPUR® mattresses work best

  • TEMPUR® mattresses must always be placed on a bed base or frame which allows air to circulate freely and with feet, castors or legs.
  • Bases with sturdy platform tops or slats (no more than 90mm apart) or disc systems work best in terms of support and air circulation. Please check the top surface is level before putting the mattress on.
  • *We do not recommend you place your new TEMPUR® mattress on a spring bed base unless it is under 5 years old and in good condition. It is vital that the base supporting your mattress is level and free of dips or hollows which can occur from prior use.
  • We also recommend when making up your bed, you do not use a valance between your mattress and chosen bed base as this can restrict air flow to your mattress
  • Please do not place your TEMPUR® Mattress on the floor for sleeping. It is not designed to be used in this way. Doing so may invalidate your guarantee.

We know this is a big decision so if you need extra help, please contact us. We want to ensure you've match your mattress with the perfect bed base.
