Hi Alison,
 
Thank you for your question.
 
The Origins Platform base is our basic model. This base is a box frame constructed with pine which is then covered with a polyester fabric of your choice. We pair this base with our Origins range of mattresses.

The Contemporary Platform base is constructed in a similar way but with solid wood to give it a more robust structure. This is then boarded and upholstered with 600 GSM of wool and cotton to give the base a soft padded feel. This is then covered with a polyester fabric of your choice. This can be also paired with our Origins range of mattresses which are designed for a platform base or with our Artisan range of mattresses if you prefer a slightly firmer internal support.

Any of our mattresses can go on any base, however, the type of base can affect how the mattress feels. A mattress that is designed for a platform base will feel softer on a pocket sprung base whereas a mattress that is designed for a pocket sprung base will feel slightly firmer in the internal support when put on a platform base.
 

 
As the fabrics can look different on different monitors, we can send fabric samples in the post. If you require fabric samples please either contact the office on 0161 437 4419 where our small friendly team will be happy to help or send your fabric request along with your full name and address to [email protected]
 
I hope this helps and if you would like any further information or would like to discuss your individual needs, please do not hesitate to contact us.
 
Kind Regards
Michaela
