zip link beds again!

Post by SPJ »

I'm hoping finally this winter to get two zip link beds for our cottage but I'm wondering if there is an alternative to the divan type base I am seeing on the various sites I've been researching.
We have underfloor heating in the cottage so divan bases that come to the ground are not ideal.
I thought I'd seen somewhere zip link bed frames with legs, but I can't now find them.
I wondered if anyone has come across zip link beds with legs? They can be quite short, but it would be good to have some air space between the bed and the floor.

Thanks for any help / suggestions. Sue

Yes, we have a set (which I liked so much I shipped back from France when we sold the villa).

I'm racking my brains to remember where we got them from, possibly Maison de la Literie, or Galeries Lafayette, although a few years ago now. It may be worth checking if the divans you are looking at will take legs (ie. pre-drilled holes?)

Ours came from Mattisons Contract beds (although they're in the UK). There was a choice of short or longer legs, as well as the usual deep divan base. Having legs means cleaning is much easier, plus I think it gives a cleaner and more contemporary look (IMHO).

Just had a quick look: our bases (and mattresses) are TRECA brand.

Thank you Nuthatch and Zingara - very helpful. Glad to see I can get a shallow divan with legs - now it's just down to price - gulp!
