Five-Section Electric Adjustable Bed Base with Fifth-Generation Firmness Control
Our Motion 5 Electric Adjustable Floor-Standing Slatted Bed Base is a complete, self-supporting adjustable bed frame with integrated legs, allowing you to place your mattress directly onto the bed base without needing an existing bed frame.
Manufactured to order in our UK workshop, each bed base is built using premium European beech timber, German drive technology and our exclusive Fifth-Generation sprung slat suspension system. It is an excellent solution for new bedrooms, care settings and bespoke furniture projects, and is perfectly suited to Zip & Link mattress arrangements.
Five-Section Electric Adjustment
Unlike simpler adjustable bed bases, the Motion 5 features a five-section articulated platform that provides excellent support and comfort.
The five sections consist of:
- Neck section
- Back support section
- Fixed centre section
- Thigh support section
- Calf and foot support section
The centre section remains fixed, providing a stable seating position while the other sections move smoothly around it.
Two powerful electric motors control the movement:
- Motor 1 adjusts the neck and back support sections.
- Motor 2 adjusts the thigh, calf and foot sections.
Both motors can be operated independently, allowing you to raise either the upper body or lower body separately, or combine both movements to achieve your preferred sleeping, reading or relaxation position.
Whether you're sitting up to read, watching television, easing swollen legs or simply finding a more comfortable sleeping position, the Motion 5 offers smooth and precise adjustment at the touch of a button.
Please note: The Motion 5 is a five-section bed base, but it does not have individual motors for every section. The neck section automatically moves with the back section, and the calf section automatically moves with the thigh section, providing smooth ergonomic support using two independently controlled motors.
Designed for One or Two Sleepers
The Motion 5 Floor-Standing Bed Base is available in both single-row and dual-row configurations.
Our dual-row version is designed for two sleepers, with each side operating independently for personalised comfort.
Each sleeper receives their own remote control, allowing one person to remain completely flat while the other sits upright to read or relax.
For couples who prefer both sides to move together, an optional Link Cable is available when choosing the Smart Wireless Bluetooth Remote, allowing both bed bases to operate in perfect synchronisation.
We also manufacture a single-row Motion 5 Floor-Standing Bed Base for smaller bed sizes and single sleepers.

Understanding Sprung Bed Slats: Exploring Various Timbers
Comparing Timber Types: Beech, Birch, and Poplar for Sprung Bed Slats When it comes to choosing the right timber for your sprung bed slats, understanding the characteristics of each wood type is crucial. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore three commonly used timbers for sprung bed slats: Beech, Birch, and Poplar. Beech Timber: The Undisputed Champion Renowned for its exceptional mechanical properties, Beech timber stands out as the premier choice for sprung bed slats. This hardwood boasts remarkable resistance to compression, making it ideal for supporting the weight of the mattress and sleeper. While Beech may exhibit slightly less flexibility in bending or tension due to its short fibers, its unparalleled strength ensures long-lasting support. Top furniture makers or hand-crafted furniture makers will only use beech. Birch Timber: A Close Contender While Birch timber offers excellent performance, it cannot be compared to Beech in terms of overall quality. Often utilised by reputable furniture brands like Ikea, Birch boasts a generally straight-grained structure with a fine, uniform texture. Its strength and durability rival that of Beech, making it a reliable choice for supporting your mattress. Birch timber may also feature a plain, occasionally curly, or wavy pattern, adding a subtle aesthetic appeal to your bed frame. Mass-market furniture often utilises birch. Poplar Timber: Budget-Friendly but Compromised Quality Poplar timber serves as a cost-effective option for bed slats, but it falls short in terms of quality compared to Beech and Birch. Characterised by its very pale colour and lack of distinct grain patterns, Poplar is considerably lighter in weight and less dense than its hardwood counterparts. While it may suffice for temporary or budget-conscious solutions, Poplar lacks the durability and longevity offered by Beech and Birch. Its use is often associated with lower-end furniture where cost takes precedence over quality. Choosing the Right Timber: Considerations and Recommendations As standard practice, sprung bed slats should ideally measure 8mm in depth for widths up to 1050mm. Birch slats may be manufactured at a slightly thinner 9mm depth, while Poplar slats are typically produced at a 10mm thickness due to their weaker nature. It's essential to note that when slats are produced thicker, finding replacement sprung bed slat holders may become challenging, as most holders manufactured in Europe by quality manufacturers are available in 8mm size. Additionally, for those seeking extra strength or spanning the bed width without multiple rows of slats, specialised 10mm and 12mm Beech sprung bed slats are available, although they are considered a specialist product. Conclusion: Selecting Quality for Long-Term Satisfaction Prioritising quality and durability is paramount when selecting the timber for your sprung bed slats. While Beech and Birch timber options offer superior strength, resilience, and aesthetics, Poplar serves as a more affordable alternative with inherent compromises. By investing in high-quality timber such as Beech or Birch, you guarantee enduring performance and long-term satisfaction with your bed frame's craftsmanship and aesthetics. This guide aims to provide valuable insights into the benefits of Beech timber, assisting you in making an informed decision that enhances your sleep quality and overall bedroom aesthetics.

However, with a plethora of options available, determining the ideal number of slats for your webbed pine bed slat set can be a daunting task. In this guide, we'll explore the importance of selecting the right number of slats and how it can impact the overall comfort and longevity of your mattress. Finding the Ideal Number of Slats:When it comes to choosing the ideal number of slats for your bed, more isn't always better. In fact, the ideal gap between slats is typically between 40mm to 50mm. This ensures proper support for your mattress while also allowing for adequate airflow, keeping your mattress fresh and comfortable. Sprung Bed Slats require a different spacing The Consequences of Insufficient Slats:Opting for too few slats can have several negative consequences. Firstly, your slats may not be compatible with your mattress, potentially invalidating the warranty. Additionally, insufficient slats may result in inadequate support for your mattress, leading to discomfort and sagging. Moreover, if the gap between slats is too large, it can shorten the lifespan of your mattress and affect its overall feel and comfort. Conclusion:Choosing the right number of slats for your webbed pine bed slat set is crucial for optimizing comfort and ensuring the longevity of your mattress. By selecting the appropriate number of slats and ensuring the correct gap between them, you can create a supportive and comfortable sleep surface that promotes restful sleep night after night.
Bed Frame Compatibility Guide For Webbed Pine Bed Slat Sets
Ensuring Compatibility with Flat Webbed Pine Bed Sets This guide aims to assist you in ensuring compatibility between our Flat Webbed Pine Bed Sets and your existing bed frame. The diversity in bed frame structures on the market underscores the absence of a standardized manufacturing approach, indicating that a one-size-fits-all solution is not applicable. At The Old Joinery - Berkhamsted, we manufacture all our Webbing Pine Bed Slats in-house, allowing for customization of the width and length to ensure they are compatible with your bed frame. Please refer to the example structures below, where we have indicated whether the Webbed Flat Bed Slats sets will be compatible, or if modifications are needed. We can generally provide you with the components required if needed. It's important to note that all bed frames that are 1000mm or larger require a bed central rail running down the length of the bed frame - from head to toe. If your bed frame structure is not compatible, don't worry. There should be a way to modify it or find an alternative bed slat solution where modification is not required. Our goal is to ensure that you find the perfect fit for your bed frame, whether through customization or alternative options. We're here to provide expert guidance and support throughout the process, ensuring that you achieve the optimal setup for your sleeping needs.
