Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a bed base, a bed frame, and an adjustable bed?

The difference between these pieces of bedroom furniture is subtle. A bed base is the part of the bed that supports the mattress. A bed frame is a base and bedhead in one product, and an adjustable bed can be manoeuvred into different positions.

What are your bed bases made from?

Our bed bases are made from solid Australian timber slat frames and are upholstered with premium foam-backed fabric. We’ve spent many years curating the best Australian-made bases and frames for our range.

What sort of bed base should I choose if I have back problems?

If you have a bad back, an adjustable bed is your best option. It can help target pain in your lower and upper back and position you in the best reclining position for your body. In addition, people with specific back problems may benefit from sleeping at an incline of 30 to 45 degrees. This position reduces the stress placed on the lower back.

What does castor refer to?

Castors are the wheels attached to the bed base. This means you can easily move your bed around your room to see which positions work best in your space.

Do you have beds with built-in storage?

Yes! Bed bases with built-in drawers are a great way to maximise space in a smaller room. Check out our Braga beige queen base to see an example of what beds with drawers look like.

What is your warranty policy on your bed frames and bases?

Chiropedic offers our customers up to 20 years of warranty across our range of products. All ensemble bases come up with a standard 5-year warranty. If the material or quality of a product is faulty, we will offer to repair or replace the product. We will also cover transport costs under the terms of the warranty during the first 12 months.

Correct care is always required. This is why you should always read the manufacturer's care and maintenance instructions and follow them carefully. Warranties may be voided when the base has:

Signs of normal wear and tear
Has been cut, burned, or damaged by water or mould

Stains and unsanitary soil marks will also void the warranty of a bed or bed base. Warranty is not offered on clearance products or floor stock products (otherwise known as 'sold as is').

Do you offer your 7-day money-back guarantee on beds and bed bases?

Yes! Within 7 days of collecting your goods or accepting delivery of your goods, we are happy to refund the full purchase amount should you change your mind.

There is a $129 fee if we're required to pick up the goods from you. This is valid for the Melbourne metro area and Ballarat. Alternately, you can return your products to your local Chiropedic store free of charge. You can find our stores in:

Ballarat

Dandenong
Essendon DFO

How do I know which size bed base I should buy?

This largely depends on your personal preference and the number of people likely to be sleeping in your bed.

One child could comfortably sleep on a single-size bed. Measurement: 188cm by 92cm
Preteens or teenagers would sleep better on a long size single. Measures 203cm by 92cm
Teenagers or young adults would benefit from a king single. Measures 203cm by 107cm
Two kids or two adults should share a double bed. Measures 188cm by 138cm
Two adults would be more comfortable on a queen bed. Measures 203cm by 153cm
Two adults plus a child would fit perfectly on a king bed base and mattress. Measures 203cm by 183cm

When you want to spend a Sunday morning in bed with the whole family, plus your furry friend, a super king bed base and mattress is your best option. Measures 203cm by 203cm.
