Reviewers praise Factory Buys for great value for money and fast delivery, helping you choose the right bed base beds with confidence.

Understanding bed bases and how to choose the right one

A bed base is the foundation that supports your mattress, improves airflow, and ensures long term comfort. When choosing a cheap bed base or an affordable bed base, consider your room size, mattress type, preferred height, and the overall look you want to achieve. Australian households often compare timber, metal, and fabric upholstered options to suit different interior styles. Ventilation, slat spacing, weight capacity, and assembly requirements all play an important role in selecting the right model. To ensure proper pairing, explore our full range of mattresses to find an option that suits your sleeping needs.

Choosing the right size for your space

Selecting the best size ensures comfort and helps maximise your bedroom layout. Compact rooms may be better suited to a single bed base or a transitional option like a king single. Couples often prefer the extra space in a double bed base, while larger bedrooms can easily accommodate premium sizes. When deciding, think about bedside furniture spacing, room flow, and mattress dimensions. Larger families or shared rooms may also consider options like bunk beds if space must be used efficiently.

Exploring different styles and construction types

Bed bases vary in construction, offering different benefits depending on your priorities. Wooden designs add natural warmth and are popular for their sturdiness, while metal or hybrid frames offer lightweight durability. If you prefer the clean and modern look of timber, browse our wooden bed base collection for naturally styled options. For a hotel-like feel, ensemble models create a uniform, cushioned finish that works well in contemporary Australian homes. Those wanting extra functionality can consider a bed ensemble for coordinated support and a smooth surface that pairs well with most bedding.

Storage focused bed bases

Storage is a priority for many Australian households, especially in smaller bedrooms or apartment living. Bed bases with built in drawers or lift up systems provide convenient space to store seasonal bedding, clothing, or linen. If practicality is important, our ensemble bed base options combine support with a streamlined look that complements modern room designs. Storage bases also pair well with additional comfort layers like quilts, sheets, and pillows, which can be rotated through the year.

Bedding essentials to complete your setup

Complete your sleep setup with accessories that make your bedroom inviting and functional. Add a sophisticated bed headboard to elevate the look, then layer your bed with soft quilts, breathable sheets, and plush pillows. A warm blanket adds the final touch of comfort for cooler nights.

What Is a Bed Base?

A bed base is the foundation piece of a bed setup. It supports the mattress, ensuring stability while you sleep. It can take various forms, including slatted platforms, solid platforms, box springs, and adjustable bases. It can be made out of wood or metal. 


Bed bases can be customised. Many people prefer to get one with additional features for added storage, like sliding drawers or trundle beds underneath it. 


The bed base is crucial for proper mattress ventilation, preventing moisture buildup, and maintaining the mattress's shape by distributing weight evenly. The right bed base can be the perfect centrepiece of your bedroom, giving you a cohesive design. 

How Do I Choose the Right Bed Base?

Choosing the right bed base involves considering several factors to ensure it meets your needs and preferences. 

  • First, assess the type of mattress you have, as some bases are better suited for specific mattress types. For example, memory foam mattresses do better on slats or solid bases. Slats are great for air circulation under think mattresses. 

  • Consider the size and weight of the mattress to ensure the base can adequately support it. 

  • Think about your desired bed height and whether you prefer a base with storage options. 

  • Evaluate the material and durability of the base, as well as your design needs. Wooden bed bases can give your bedroom a warmer feel, while metal bases are more versatile. 

Does a Bed Base Affect the Mattress?

Yes, a bed base significantly impacts a mattress's structure and longevity. The right base offers essential support, ensuring your mattress remains firm and evenly distributed, which prevents sagging and maintains the mattress's shape over time. Additionally, a bed base can improve air circulation around the mattress. This is an important part of temperature regulation and preventing moisture buildup. Excess moisture buildup can create an environment for mould to grow on your mattress. 


The choice of bed base can enhance the overall comfort, support, and durability of a mattress, making it a crucial consideration for anyone looking to maximise their investment in a good night's sleep and extend the lifespan of their mattress.

How Do I Protect My Bed Base?

Here are our top tips to protect your bed base:

  • Regular Cleaning: Vacuum around and beneath the bed base to remove dust and prevent buildup. Clean your bed frames with a damp cloth.

  • Avoid Excess Weight: To prevent structural damage, make sure you do not exceed the recommended weight limit.

  • Use Coasters or Pads: Protect your floors and the base legs from scratches, especially if you have wooden floors. For carpeted floors, you can use softer pads.

  • Check for Damage: Check for damage on your wooden bed bases if you hear creaking or your mattress starts sinking. If you have a metal bed base, keep it clean and dry to prevent rust buildup. Rust can appear on metal bed bases if you’ve had them for a while. 

  • Proper Support: Ensure the mattress properly fits the base to distribute weight evenly and prevent sagging.

Are Bed Bases Adjustable?

Yes, many bed bases are adjustable, offering flexibility to cater to a wide range of needs and preferences. To make the most of your bed base, consider adding in bed frames and drawers for storage. 


Adjustable bed bases can change positions, allowing users to elevate the head, feet, or both, which can support people with health issues like snoring, acid reflux, and improve circulation. Adjustable bed bases are compatible with various mattress types, making them a versatile choice for anyone looking to customise their sleeping or relaxation experience.
