What is the difference between a platform top base and a fully sprung base?
The base type makes a huge difference to the overall feel of the bed. A platform top base, which is basically a boarded top base, will always give a much firmer feel to the bed. Whereas the fully sprung base will work in conjunction with the mattress, giving added comfort to the bed. A bed with a fully sprung base will also tend to last longer than one with a platform base. This is because with a platform top base the mattress upholstery and spring unit are under constant pressure from your body weight, whereby with a fully sprung base this pressure is eased into the flex of the base.
