Why Dormia Beds Need a Sturdy Frame

Old-fashioned wood slat systems give minimal support

Slats were used in the days of the pharaohs. They sagged then, and they still do. Old-fashioned slats never really offered any support in the center of the
bed. The side rails twist and bend outward under the load, damaging the structure of the bed frame and causing the slats to slide off the side rail edges. The proper Support System provides rock solid and complete center support for any bed, and can never slip, slide, twist or turn.

Don't wake up to a collapsed bed!

The highest quality bedding supported by slats or other old fashioned supports can result in someone actually “dropping off” the support system, sending the bedding, and a peaceful sleeper, crashing to the floor.

Today's mattresses are heavier than ever

The bedding being sold today is not like the bedding Grandma used. Beds are wider and bedding is thicker than ever before. On the average, mattresses are 45% thicker and almost 50% heavier than just 15 years ago. Mattress development has steadily progressed toward more comfort with designs that nurture good physical health. Bed support has definitely not kept up with these bedding innovations, and most bed frames and supports are indistinguishable from those Grandma slept on.

Structural damage can result from improper support

Improper bedding support, including slats that cause wooden and metal side rails to twist and provide no center support, puts all the stress on the wrong parts of the bed frame. Ultimately, side rails and the joints at the headboard and footboard take the beating, resulting in damage to the wood bed.
