Info: Available in 3 Sizes and Depths; Without Legs (Requires a Frame)
When you buy a latex mattress, be sure to use it only with a foundation or platform bed designed to hold its extra weight and prevent it from sagging into the spaces between the supports. (If only because failing to do so would likely void its warranty.) For those who prefer a flat, covered mattress foundation rather than a platform (an open wooden frame), Aviva is pleased to offer Nature's Embrace foundations covered in pure virgin quilted wool with certified organic cotton (which have no Volatile Organic Compounds [VOCs] to produce off-gassing).
Product Notes:
Mattress not included. These remaining models are all non-free-standing models, meaning they don't come with and aren't designed to stand on their own legs. It is strongly recommended that they be placed on extra-sturdy metal frames, such as the ones available through Aviva crafted by Julien Beaudoin.
Regarding their depth/height, there are two types on offer here:
- the more standard 10-inch depth for the two Twin models, which are better suited to being paired with headboards; and,
- a low-profile 5-inch depth for the Queen and King Sizes, which make it easier to get in or out of the bed (or for your pets to jump on or off of), particularly if you have a very thick mattress, or if you (or your partner) are not very tall.
E.g., some advise that the total bed height from the floor to the top of the mattress be about knee length (which ranges between 16 and 24 inches, for many adults), so you can get on or off from a sitting position with your legs bent at a 90-degree angle at the knees and your feet flat on the floor.
So, adding the 5 inches of these low profile foundations to the first 7" of a metal frame on casters or gliders like the aforementioned Julien Beaudoin model beneath it, make it a foot high, already... and placing a latex or other type of foam or combination mattress on top of that will likely add from 6" (so, 18" in total, which would be adequate for someone under 6 feet tall) to as much as fourteen inches more, for a really deluxe mattress (which would make it 26" high, which would likely be high enough even for someone as tall as six foot five).
Note, the King size model actually comes as a pair of Twin XL foundations, so if you would like two low-profile foundations for Twin XL mattresses, please select that option.
