Slatted Base Guide

All LIFETIME beds are tested with slatted bases or slats and are therefore only offered in this way. You can decide for yourself which quality best meets your own needs.

How much weight can a bed carry – and can an adult sleep in it?

The maximum weight limit is determined by the slatted base. For beds with standard slats, we recommend a maximum weight of 150 kg. For beds with a deluxe slatted base or premium slats, we recommend that the maximum distributed weight of 200 kg is not exceeded. This ensures that the slats also have a long lifespan.

What is the difference between the standard slatted base and the premium slatted base?

Both slatted bases consist of moulded and laminated birch or beech slats that are screwed directly into the sides of the bed. The difference is that the standard version has 16 slats, while the premium version has 23 slats, which is why the premium slatted base can support more weight than the standard one and is ideal for floor beds.

Standard slatted base: 150 kg.

Premium slatted base: 200 kg.

Does a deluxe slatted base fit into a bed that was made for use with standard slats?

Before 2023, new bed sides had to be ordered if you wanted to switch from a deluxe to a standard slatted base. Since 2023, we have changed the bed sides so that they can be used for both options. Depending on when the bed was purchased, new bed sides may or may not be required.
