Bed base 160x200

Choose a bed base 160x200 to suit your space

The bed base 160x200, often called a queen-size bed base, fits a double mattress measuring 160 by 200 cm. It offers 20 cm more width than a 140 cm bed. That extra space can make sleeping together more comfortable, provided you leave practical walkways around the bed.

In this size, our collection lets you compare a two-section upholstered bed base with a storage bed that includes a lift-up base. Your choice depends on both how you plan to set up the bed and how much storage you need. Both configurations fit a mattress of the same size, but their construction and external dimensions differ.

Two 80x200 sections for the upholstered bed base

The upholstered version consists of two 80 × 200 cm sections, forming a total surface of 160 × 200 cm. The set includes eight beech legs and two Velcro connecting strips, to be fitted at the head and foot. This is a complete double set containing both sections.

The frame and all 28 slats are made of solid pine. Beige or gray fabric covers the sides, while a padded upper section and non-slip surface complete the mattress support. With their legs, the two sections are 30 cm tall. This configuration is part of our collection of upholstered bed bases made in France.

Compared with a single piece 160 cm wide, the two-section design makes it easier to move the base into the bedroom. You should still measure access points and packages. The mattress and headboard are chosen separately.

The storage bed base 160x200 for storage beneath the bed

The storage bed lets you use the space beneath the mattress for household linens or seasonal clothing. The options offered are complete beds with a lift-up base and a gas-strut-assisted mechanism. Depending on the model, the collection includes solid wood frames, wood-look panels or fabric-covered designs.

Compare the interior storage space, whether there is a bottom panel, and how the bed base is built. Some bases have exposed slats; others are upholstered with ventilation openings. Compartments help separate your belongings, while one large open space gives you more flexibility to arrange comforters and storage boxes.

Pair your mattress with the right base

Start with a mattress 160x200, then check the support recommendations on its product page. The upholstered bed base in this collection has a maximum load of 250 kg, including the mattress. This limit applies to the complete double set.

For a storage bed, the mattress weight must fall within the specified range for the lift mechanism. This varies by model and is separate from the bed’s maximum load. Check what each offer includes, too: some storage bed sets come with a mattress, while others are sold without one.

Plan for space and setup

The mattress surface does not always reflect the bed’s overall footprint. A headboard or the sides of a storage bed may extend beyond 160 × 200 cm. Check the external dimensions and leave access at the foot of the bed to operate the lift mechanism.

Finally, check the instructions and packaging. Depending on its design, a storage bed may have a base delivered in one piece or one that requires assembly. These details help you choose a double bed suited to your home, from delivery through everyday use.
