Different models with various options

Boxspring beds come in various designs, which can influence the way they are made. The most common bed frame models are:

• Individual toppers: Here a topper lies on the mattress, which must be covered separately with a cover fabric.
• Integrated toppers: In these models, the topper is firmly attached to the mattress, which makes making the bed easier and improves sleep quality because the topper does not slip.
• Multi-part sets: These Boxspring beds consist of one or more base mattresses and a top mattress with or without a separate topper.

Each model has its own requirements for making the bed. Therefore, you should know in advance which type of Boxspring bed you own. Feel free to ask us a question if you have any doubts!

Step-by-step guide: Making a Boxspring bed

To correctly cover your type of box spring bed, follow this detailed step-by-step guide. Here you will surely discover one or the other tip.

1. Preparing the bottom mattress: Start with the lowest mattress or the box in this variant. If this is also to be covered, use a suitable fitted sheet for this. Make sure the sheet fits tightly and does not wrinkle. You should also consider this aspect at the headboard. With the help of another person, this works particularly well by each covering one diagonal corner of the box spring bed.
2. Covering the top mattress: Pull a fitted sheet over the top mattress. Make sure it fits well by carefully positioning the corners. Smooth the sheet on the lying surface to avoid wrinkles.
3. Covering the topper: If you have a separate topper, you also cover it with a suitable topper fitted sheet. Alternatively, you can use a single bed sheet for both layers. For integrated toppers, this step is generally omitted. In this case, however, you need a special bed cover. Choose the material of the fitted sheet according to the temperature. Satin is suitable, for example, for summer and absorbs moisture. Meanwhile, Bieber is ideal for winter.
4. Final adjustments of all kinds: Finally, check whether all layers are smooth and wrinkle-free. Pull tighter if necessary to ensure a perfect fit. This way you ensure that your bed not only looks good but also offers the highest sleeping comfort.

A tip: Wash the bedding at least every two weeks to prevent germs or bacteria from accumulating in the pillow. This way, everything always smells fresh and you enjoy a pleasant scent. Especially for allergy sufferers, regular care is a must! Also air out the down comforter regularly.

Finding the ideal fitted sheet for mattress and topper

When it comes to the box spring bed, choosing the right fitted sheet is crucial for comfort and appearance. It is important that the sheet fits both the mattress size and the edge height. A well-fitting product significantly changes the overall look of the bed.

A sheet that is too small or too large as an accessory can not only look unsightly but also affect the sleeping experience. Elastic materials like Jersey or a cotton blend are particularly suitable.

They adapt optimally to the shape of the mattress and offer a pleasant feel depending on sleeping habits. Furthermore, these materials are breathable and ensure a comfortable sleeping climate. Molton is a popular alternative for such covers.

Also consider the ease of care of the sheet, as frequent washing should be uncomplicated for hygiene. The appropriate duvet and pillows further increase comfort. Coordinate the colors so that all items match each other.

Definition: The side panel height

The side panel height refers to the height of the side edge of a fitted sheet. It ensures that the sheet of the box spring bed fits securely around the mattress. It is important that the side panel height is sufficient.

This way, it not only encloses the entire mattress but also any toppers that provide even more comfort. To determine the appropriate side panel height, measure the total height of the mattress - including the topper, if present.

Make sure to also consider the thickness of the topper for the side panel, because insufficient side panel height can, in the worst case, cause the sheet to slip or come loose. That is simply annoying and disturbs your sleep!

What size do you need?

Find the right fitted sheet for your mattress by knowing the exact dimensions. Therefore, carefully measure the length, width, and height of your mattress as well as that of the topper, if one is present. These measurements are important so that the fabric fits perfectly.

Sizes for box spring beds from various manufacturers are generally:

• Single bed: 90x200 cm - Ideal bed box as a single bed
• Double bed: 180x200 cm - The double bed offers enough space for two people and is the most common choice for couples.
• King-Size: 200x200 cm - This size ensures maximum sleeping comfort and space. It is especially ideal for people who move a lot in their sleep and for families.
