Ensemble & Adjustable Bases

As there are a variety of bed base types, it depends on which you go with. It can also come down to the specifics of your mattress.

Most fixed ensemble bases suit both memory foam and latex mattresses. Adjustable bases will only work with memory foam or latex mattresses that are made to flex.

A platform bed is a bed frame with a solid surface or one made from slats on which the mattress sits directly on top. A box spring refers to a bed base with a sprung support unit sitting within it. An ensemble is an upholstered, box-style bed base, often with internal storage space.

Sometimes. If you’re thinking of sitting an adjustable base within a bed frame, it’s important that you thoroughly check the frame’s internal dimensions, clearance, and support structure first.

This comes down to the bed base itself, specifically its size and design. Please check the individual product specifications online or speak to one of our team members at your nearest Beds n Dreams store.

Assembly varies depending on the type of bed base you choose. Standard ensemble bases are quite easy to set up. The drawer, gas-lift, and adjustable ones might require a little more effort. The product instructions let you know whether tools are included or needed.
