Bases & Foundations

The right base does two jobs: it protects your mattress warranty and it sets up how your bed feels and functions. We carry both kinds, direct from Tempur-Pedic, Sealy, and Stearns & Foster.

Flat foundations are the modern box spring: strength-tested platforms in standard 9-inch, low 5-inch, and ultra-low 2-inch bunkie heights. Pick the height by how tall you want the finished bed to sit, especially if you have a tall headboard or prefer an easy step-in height.

Adjustable bases like the Sealy Ease and the TEMPUR-Ergo line raise your head and feet at the touch of a remote. Sleepers use them for reading and TV, easing snoring with a slight head incline, and taking pressure off the lower back. The Ergo Smart models add massage and sleep tracking.

Not sure your mattress needs a new base? If it is going on a platform bed with solid slats, you may not need one at all. Questions welcome, no sales pressure ever.
