4 benefits of using a mattress base
Whether you’re upgrading your current mattress foundation—or are finally getting your mattress off the floor (no judgment!)—there are a few key benefits to keep in mind…
- A mattress base provides solid support for your mattress. Mattresses without proper support can sink and sag over time, requiring replacement more often. Additionally, without adequate support for the mattress itself, the person or people laying on it aren’t getting their needed support either. This lack of proper weight distribution can lead to restless nights and achy mornings. Set the proper foundation for your mattress, and it can better do its job keeping you comfortable until the alarm goes off (hitting snooze optional, and understandable!)
- Slatted bed bases allow your mattress to breathe. Adequate air flow beneath and around your mattress is important for keeping it fresh, dry and comfortable. Opting for a bed foundation with solid wooden slats provides sturdy support and room for air to circulate
- A mattress foundation helps protect your mattress. Elevating your mattress doesn’t only make it easier to get into and help air circulate—it also helps keep your mattress cleaner. Never again stress that a spilled glass of water on the floor will find its way to your mattress, or that your dog or cat will keep rubbing against the side leaving behind more hair with every swipe. Get things up off the floor and worry no more!
- A bed foundation might help you breathe easier. If you suffer from allergies, you already know how important it is to regularly wash your bed pillows, sheets and comforters to reduce dust mites and allergens. But have you given thought to your mattress level air quality? Getting your mattress further from the floor helps reduce the chance you’ll breathe in the dust and dander that naturally gets kicked up as we and our pets move through the house.
