What is a motorized slatted frame?

In this article, I’ll cover the motorized slatted frame, which is also called the motorized slatted frame or motorized frame. There are no differences whatsoever within these terms. They are just synonyms for each other.

  • A slatted frame with a motor is an electrically adjustable slatted frame that does not require you to adjust the individual areas by hand.
  • In return, a small electric motor is installed under the bed, which moves the slatted frame in the individual zones at the push of a button.

To put it another way, your bed is not static. You can adjust it to your preferred lying position.

A particular advantage is that slatted frames with a motor are very durable and durable. You can rely on the durability of a slatted frame with a motor.

What should I consider when buying a motor frame?

A slatted frame with a motor naturally costs more than an ordinary mattress or an ordinary slatted frame.

You alone decide on the price and quality of your desired model.

Before my test, I was expecting big price jumps. The price differences, however, are comparatively limited.

Choose the right size

You should be aware of the dimensions of your desired slatted frame. Not every motorized slatted frame will fit in your bed box.

Sufficient load capacity

You should also check the load capacity carefully before making a purchase. There are identical models with exactly the same dimensions that can carry more kilograms of total weight.

However, this point depends on your personal body weight and whether you want to lie on the mattress alone or as a couple.

Motor with mains isolation

In that case, make sure that your slatted frame has been disconnected from the mains. This suppresses the electromagnetic fields in the motor and ensures that the mains voltage is not continuously active.

What this means for you is that you only use electricity when the bed is being adjusted:

  • On the one hand, this of course also results in lower electricity costs.
  • On the other hand, it lowers the volume of the engine.

If a slatted frame with an electric motor has no mains isolation, the motor hums quietly in continuous operation and emits electrosmog.

A slatted frame with a motor and mains isolation requires little or no care. As a rule, you don’t have to do anything (no maintenance) and you can rely on it to be fully usable without your regular intervention.

Long guarantee period

In the unlikely event of a defect in the electric motor, however, you must take action. Depending on the type of damage, repair can be time-consuming and costly.

Warranty and statutory warranty may help you here. Some manufacturers even offer a lifetime guarantee.

Who is a motorized slatted frame for?

In particular, slatted frames with motors are particularly recommended for the following people:

  • Seniors
  • People with physical disabilities
  • People with sensitive back problems

But even if you enjoy reading in bed or watching TV, you don’t have to cramp yourself in an uncomfortable position.

With an electric slatted frame, you can easily change the bed to the desired position.

Handy for physical pain

Outside of hospitals, I myself have never lay in a bed with a slatted frame operated by a motor.

Even if it is not a luxury per se, no friend, acquaintance or family member of mine has such a slatted frame with a motor at home.

  • But especially in moments of awkward and painful movement on the hospital bed, the slatted frame with motor helped me.
  • In someone else’s bed, I was very grateful that I could set the perfect sleeping angle myself.

A slatted frame with a motor is a practical solution for your own home, especially for seniors who can no longer move freely or for people with physical disabilities.
