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

- Headboard
Do you need just a simple farm where you can put your mattress? Or if you want a headboard ( or even a footboard)
