WHY IS A BOX SPRING IMPORTANT?
As the foundation of your bed, a box spring – or divan, adds to the comfort and longevity of your mattress. It’s an essential element that has an incredible impact on the quality of your sleep, ensuring you wake up rested each morning.
You could buy the most expensive mattress in the world, but if it’s not properly supported by a sturdy foundation – you won’t get the most from your investment. A good mattress will contain a mixture of bouncy pocket springs and upholstery fabrics – if this is then placed on a rickety slatted base, the person’s weight is placed solely on the mattress, as the base is not offering any room to give. When your luxurious mattress ends up pressed against wooden slats or other rigid surfaces, over time the springs and materials will compress inside your mattress. This not only shortens its lifespan but also results in an uncomfortable sleeping surface, causing you to wake up feeling tired and achy.
Savoir’s box spring is designed to take a person’s weight, while the mattress is designed to support it. Our box springs contain robust hourglass springs, which take the pressure off of the mattress and allow it to do the job of taking your shape and gently cushioning your body.
In the past, a box spring was considered a necessity for every bed. Serving as additional support for your mattress, it also added a feeling of grandeur to the overall design. As preferences have changed, many people are now opting for slimmer bed bases to create a more modern, sleek look – or replacing the box spring with drawers, to use the space more efficiently.
A bespoke Savoir bed offers you the ability to include all the essential elements of a luxurious night’s sleep while adapting the design to your preferences. So, if you prefer a slim, modern frame, it can be paired with a slim box spring base to give you the desired aesthetic, with all the benefits and comfort of the box spring.
The Slim Base
Our selection of house designs presents the endless possibilities of including a beautifully upholstered box spring base within your design. The Savoir Slim base was introduced to further inspire the bespoke creations of our clients. Allowing for an even wider range of styles, while staying true to our roots and providing sumptuous comfort and longevity.
Layers of lavish horse tail and hand-tied springs are just some of the ingredients of the Savoir Slim base. Crafted using time-honoured techniques, this unique base features the same elements as the iconic Nº2 bed set only in more slender proportions. First created for The Savoy Hotel in London, it marries natural materials with handcrafted skills, which have been passed down for generations.
The Slim box spring pairs well with all our bed sets, although it is typically matched with the Nº2, especially alongside taller headboards, allowing them to take centre stage. The slim box spring can then be finished with a set of complementing legs and upholstered in a fabric of the client’s choice.
