Co je kontinentální postel a proč ji vybrat?

Are you looking for a bed that combines superior comfort, modern design, and quality sleep? Then you've probably come across the term Continental bed. In this article, we'll explain what a continental bed actually is, how it differs from a classic bed, and why more and more people are choosing it for their bedrooms.


Co je kontinentální postel?

Continental bed (sometimes also called a boxspring bed) is a system consisting of three main layers:

  1. Base unit – solid wooden or upholstered base that replaces a traditional slatted bed base. It may be equipped with a spring system for improved cushioning.
  2. Mattress – specially designed mattress that sits directly on the box spring, ensuring optimal body support.
  3. Topper – thin top layer (5–10 cm) that refines firmness and comfort according to individual preferences.

The entire system stands on elegant legs and is upholstered in the chosen material and colour. The result is High luxury bed with a total height of generally 60–90 cm.
