What mattress firmness is best for back pain?

The most important factor is maintaining a neutral spine in your preferred sleeping position. The ideal mattress balances both support and comfort. We recommend trying any mattress for at least 5-10 minutes in your normal sleeping position.

What size bed should I buy for my room?

Most people in NZ choose a queen bed for standard bedrooms. Aim to leave at least 60-75cm of space around the sides of the bed. Queen suits most rooms, King or Super King for larger rooms, Double or King Single for smaller rooms or guest rooms.

What are the standard bed sizes in New Zealand?

How often should you replace a mattress?

Most mattresses should be replaced every 7-10 years. Replace sooner if you wake feeling sore or stiff, notice visible sagging, or sleep better in other beds than your own.

Is memory foam or pocket spring better?

Neither is strictly better - it comes down to personal preference. Memory foam contours closely and reduces partner movement but can feel warmer. Pocket spring is more responsive and breathable. The best choice is what feels right for you when you lie on it.

What mattress is best for side sleepers?

Side sleepers usually do best on a medium to medium-soft mattress that cushions the shoulders and hips while keeping the spine neutral. Too firm creates pressure points, too soft misaligns the lower back.

Buy Bed Base & Slat Frames

Bed Bases & Slat Frames Auckland — Simply Beds NZ

Your mattress is only as good as what's underneath it. A quality bed base does more than hold your mattress off the floor — it provides the even, consistent support your mattress needs to perform properly, night after night. Choose the right base and your mattress will last longer, feel better, and do the job it was designed to do. Choose the wrong one and even a premium mattress won't reach its full potential.

What types of bed bases does Simply Beds stock?

Our range covers three distinct types of bed base to suit different needs, bedroom sizes, and storage requirements. Standard bed bases provide a clean, simple foundation and are available from $299. Drawer bases — available in MDF and laminated finishes, with 2 or 4 drawer configurations — add practical under-bed storage without compromising on support, starting from $549. For those who want maximum storage with easy access, our gas lift bases including the Barcelona and Valencia lift the entire mattress platform to reveal generous storage space beneath. Our Ciro base range and Andes slat frame are proudly New Zealand made, reflecting a genuine commitment to local quality and craftsmanship.

What is the difference between a bed base and a slat frame?

A bed base is a fully upholstered, solid or slatted platform that sits on short legs and typically pairs with a matching headboard. It provides a clean, integrated look and is the most common choice for New Zealand bedrooms. A slat frame is a freestanding timber or metal frame with a slatted surface — typically with a headboard and footboard included — offering a more traditional or contemporary furniture-style aesthetic. Our Andes Slat Frame is available in a range of colour options to suit different bedroom styles, and like our Ciro bases, is made right here in New Zealand.

How do I choose the right bed base?

The most important considerations are size, storage needs, and style. Make sure your base matches your mattress size exactly — a mismatched base and mattress will affect both support and appearance. If bedroom storage is limited, a drawer base or gas lift base is one of the smartest investments you can make — the under-bed space is some of the most practical storage in any home. For style, our Ciro range is available in a variety of fabric options to complement your existing bedroom decor, and our team can help you find the right combination in person.
