Rove Concepts Mikel
If a tufted headboard is not soft enough for you, then you need one that offers a more plush. And here you have it.
Also, this has bowed slats that can make any movement unnoticeable. And we find that it has the plushest and softest headboard that a bed frame can offer. This is perfect for reading a novel before sleeping, or if you want to watch a movie, you can comfortably lean on a cloud of comfort.
One thing to note though, the mattress will tend to sit lower compared to other bed frames. This uses a European flexible slat system that is akin to a ribcage. So it tends to stretch a bit, that’s why this also works the best for a thinner mattress, it can provide that flexibility. And this helps isolate motion, so it is also a great choice for couples who have sleeping mates who tend to toss and turn a lot during the night.
Buying Guide
It may seem easier to buy a bed frame than a mattress right?
That can be true, but there are still things that you have to consider.

Do you prefer a higher bed? This can help you get out of your dreams easier. Also, be careful not to choose a frame that sits too close to the floor. It can be hard to get out of bed. And nobody wants to sleep close to the carpets. That’s the entire reason for buying a bed frame right?
- Headboard
Do you need just a simple farm where you can put your mattress? Or if you want a headboard ( or even a footboard)
Headboards are great add-ons if you are one who is likely to read a good book before dozing off. It can also be a great chill-out space when you’re watching movies in bed.
But keep in mind that most bed frames with headboards may run at a higher cost.
- Support
Consider this question: will the frame be able to give sufficient support for your mattress from head to toe? To ensure that the frame has sufficient board underneath. The width of the boards is also substantial in choosing a bed frame. With thicker mattresses, you might need boards that are wider.
Which is the perfect pairing for your mattress?
