Drop-In™ Slatted Bed Bases
Drop-In™ Slatted Bed Bases – Custom Made in the UK
Give your existing bed frame a new lease of life with our Drop-In™ Slatted Bed Bases. Designed to fit neatly inside your bed frame, they instantly transform both comfort and support without the need to replace your bed. Simply remove the old base and drop in a new one.
Each base is designed and manufactured in-house at The Old Joinery, Berkhamsted, UK, using premium materials and precision joinery. We build every base to order, made to your exact length and width, whether UK, European, US, Emperor, or non-standard international size. We can even manufacture extra-long bed bases for custom projects.
