Slimline Mattress Base

Our Slimline Bed Base is affordable, Australian-made and built from solid pine. It's not the best bed base in the world, but it's a good one. The slats are solid and don't flex, which is what your mattress needs.

We don't make it ourselves. It's built for us by a third-party supplier. We're a mattress company first, and we sell the base because it's a simple, reliable way to give a new Ausbeds mattress the right foundation.

A great choice if

• You're buying an Ausbeds mattress in Sydney
• Your current base has curved or flexible slats
• You want a simple, low-profile base at a fair price

Probably not for you if

• You already have a solid, flat base. If your slats don't bend when you press them, keep your base.
• You're outside Sydney. We only sell the base in Sydney. Call us and we'll point you to bases we trust.
• You want closer slats. Ours are 14cm apart. We'd usually suggest closer spacing if you can afford a more expensive base, but our solid slats support our mattresses properly.
• You want built-in storage or an adjustable base.

A mattress takes the shape of whatever is underneath it. Flexible slats bend under your hips, and the mattress dips with them. People often blame the mattress when the base is the problem.

The test is simple: press down firmly in the middle of a slat. If it bends, it's too flexible. If it stays flat, your base is fine.
