The mattress has already been purchased. It will be delivered in a few days, the bedroom is almost assembled, and the Versailles 001-001 bed has been chosen by size and style. It seems that all that remains is to wait for delivery, install the wooden frame, and place the mattress inside. But the product card has a fundamental clarification: Versailles 001-001 is supplied without a mattress and without slats for it. This means that even a fully assembled bed does not yet become a ready-made sleeping place.
The mattress cannot simply be lowered into the box and left without a provided base. It needs a support surface: individual slats, a ready-made bed base frame, or another structure that is acceptable for both the bed and the specific mattress model. Which exact option is suitable cannot be determined by a single label "160 × 200", "180 × 200", or "200 × 200". These numbers indicate the nominal size of the mattress, not the confirmed size of the purchased frame, the length of the slats, or the position of the internal supports.
Versailles 001-001 has three versions:
-
for a mattress 2000 × 1600 mm;
-
for a mattress 2000 × 1800 mm;
-
for a 2000 × 2000 mm mattress.
For all options, a mattress thickness of at least 200 mm is recommended. However, the product card does not specify the number of slats, their exact length and cross-section, the distance between them, the position of support bars, the need for a central longitudinal beam, the number of central legs, or the height of the support plane inside the side rails.
Therefore, before buy Versailles bed 001-001, you need to assemble not only a beautiful furniture composition, but also a working scheme for the sleeping base. It should include the internal dimensions of the box, the type of support, the installation height, the mattress requirements, and all parts that are not included in the standard bed delivery.
The main practical conclusion can be stated right away: do not buy slats or a ready-made base only based on the mattress size. First, obtain the current drawing of Versailles 001-001, clarify the internal seating area, the position of supports, and the acceptable base type. Then compare this data with the mattress manufacturer's requirements. Only after that can you place an additional order.
Right to the point: what else will be needed besides the bed itself
Versailles 001-001 creates the external frame of the sleeping area: headboard, footboard, side rails, and other elements provided by the design configuration. But the mattress requires a separate support.
The full order must coordinate four independent parts:
-
Bed Versailles 001-001 of the selected size.
-
Mattress of the corresponding width and length.
-
Mattress base compatible with the bed and mattress.
-
Support and mounting elements of the base, if they are not included in the selected frame.
The buyer often combines these parts with the word "bed." This is where the misunderstanding arises: the frame has been delivered, the mattress has been purchased, but there is nothing to place it on.
As confirmed in the Versailles 001-001 product card.
| Parameter | Confirmed information | What to check before purchasing a base. |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Versailles 001-001 | Matching of the article number in all documents. |
| Product type | Classic bed. | The mattress base is ordered separately. |
| Executions | For mattresses 1600, 1800, or 2000 × 2000 mm. | The selected width cannot be changed after the box frame has been manufactured. |
| Material | Beech or oak | Base material and its visibility in the finished bed |
| Mattress | Not included in the set | Size, thickness, and mattress manufacturer requirements |
| Slats | Not included in the set | Quantity, length, width, cross-section, and spacing |
| Recommended mattress thickness | from 200 mm | Actual height above the side rails and footboard |
| Finished bed base frame | Dimensions not published in the product card | External dimensions, height, legs, and support method |
| Inner seating area | Requires confirmation | Length and width between inner surfaces |
| Support bars | Position and dimensions not published | Support width and mounting height |
| Central beam | Necessity not confirmed in published data | Presence, installation method, and supports |
| Central legs | Quantity not specified | Location and contact with the floor |
| Working drawing | Need to request the current version | Use before purchasing slats or frame |
This table shows the boundary between the known and the unknown. The mattress size is confirmed. The base construction is not. Therefore, a ready-made solution cannot be selected blindly.

Three sizes of Versailles 001-001: which mattress is provided for each version
The card links each bed version to a specific mattress.
| The external bed dimension specified in the card | Nominal mattress size |
|---|---|
| 2168 × 1864 × 1509 mm | 2000 × 1600 mm |
| 2168 × 2064 × 1553 mm | 2000 × 1800 mm |
| 2168 × 2264 × 1553 mm | 2000 × 2000 mm |
These lines cannot be read as ready-made dimensions of the mattress base frame. The external dimension includes the wooden elements of the bed. The nominal mattress size indicates for which sleeping place a specific version is designed. Between them remains the internal structure: side rails, support areas, possible central beam, mounting gaps, and the base itself.

Version for mattress 160 × 200 cm
The version with external dimensions 2168 × 1864 × 1509 mm is designed for a mattress of 2000 × 1600 mm.
The buyer needs to confirm:
-
the internal length between the headboards;
-
clear width between the side rails;
-
width of the support sections;
-
presence of a central beam;
-
allowable number of central supports;
-
height of the base;
-
overall dimensions of the finished frame, if a metal structure is chosen;
-
mattress requirements for the slat spacing.
In the card, you can order Versailles for a 160 × 200 cm mattress, but the base for this mattress still requires separate verification.
Version for a 180 × 200 cm mattress
The 2168 × 2064 × 1553 mm version is designed for a 2000 × 1800 mm mattress.
When increasing the width, the central part of the base becomes especially important. You cannot independently assert that one longitudinal beam is mandatory or that a specific number of legs is sufficient: the published data of Versailles 001-001 does not establish this. But the question of central support itself must be resolved before purchasing the base.
If planning buy Versailles for a 180 × 200 cm mattress, request a diagram that shows what the base rests on at the edges and in the center.
Version for a 200 × 200 cm mattress
The widest version has external dimensions of 2168 × 2264 × 1553 mm and is designed for a square 2000 × 2000 mm mattress.
Here, a mistake is especially costly. A large mattress has a significant area, and the finished frame must fit between the internal elements of the bed, not press against the headboards, not hang without support, and maintain the intended height.
Before order a bed 200 cm wide, get the exact internal dimensions and agree on the design of the central area.
Bed, frame, base, and mattress are not the same thing
Four words are often used interchangeably, although they denote different parts of a sleeping place.
Bed Versailles 001-001
This is a specific piece of classic furniture with a certain appearance, material, and size options. It forms the body and style of the bedroom.
Bed frame
In a broad sense, a frame is called a load-bearing furniture structure. The catalog also contains separate wooden frames that can be used as standalone products for other projects.
The section where you can buy bed frame, should not be perceived as a catalog of ready-made bases automatically compatible with Versailles 001-001. The carved frame KRVT-001 presented there is a different product with its own construction and purpose.
Mattress base
This is a support system directly under the mattress. It can consist of individual slats, a ready-made frame with slats, or another acceptable construction.
It is precisely the base that is not included in the delivery of Versailles 001-001.
Mattress
The mattress is placed on the base and has its own requirements:
-
to the maximum distance between support elements;
-
ventilation;
-
central support;
-
permissibility of a solid surface;
-
evenness;
-
type of adjustable frame, if such a system is considered.
The mattress size is known, but the method of its support is determined separately.
Why a base marked 160 × 200 may not fit a 160 × 200 version
The packaging of the finished frame says "160 × 200". The bed card indicates a 160 × 200 mattress. It seems like a complete match. But two identical designations may refer to different parameters.
The nominal size does not always equal the external frame dimensions
The base manufacturer may specify the size of a suitable mattress, while the actual metal structure may have its own width, length, and height.
These values need to be compared with the internal space of Versailles.
Legs may extend beyond the allowable zone
In a finished frame, central or side supports are positioned at specific points. Inside the bed, they may be obstructed by:
-
a wooden beam;
-
a side rail connection;
-
a decorative element;
-
the bed's own support;
-
insufficient clearance to the floor;
-
Another structural constraint.
The frame height changes the mattress position
If the base is higher than the expected level, the mattress will rise above the side rails and footboard. The headboard remains the same, but the bed's proportions will change.
If the frame is too low, the mattress will sink deeply inside. This can affect the appearance, ease of making the bed, and seating height.
The support method may not match
One frame is designed for its own legs. Another must rest on side rails. A third uses both side support and central support.
You cannot assume that any option can simply be placed inside Versailles.
A length conflict is possible
The nominal mattress length of 2000 mm does not guarantee that the external length of the finished structure is exactly 2000 mm and matches the internal space between the headboard and footboard.
The frame may require attachment
If the base must be fixed to the frame, the permissible mounting method must be agreed with the bed. Drilling the side rails without a drawing is not allowed.
What dimensions should be requested from STAVROS before purchasing slats
A single phrase "internal size 160 × 200" is not enough. For manufacturing or selecting a base, a detailed mounting diagram is needed.
Clear internal length
Measured between the inner surfaces of the headboard and footboard in the area where the base will be located.
Need to clarify:
-
whether the distance is the same on both sides;
-
whether there are protrusions;
-
whether the side rail fastenings protrude into the space;
-
whether a mounting gap is required;
-
at what height the measurement is taken.
Clean internal width
Measured between the inner sides of the side rails.
Do not use the external bed size and subtract the thickness of parts from a photo. A drawing or a confirmed actual measurement is required.
Position of support bars
If internal side supports for slats or frame are provided, request:
-
their width;
-
height;
-
length;
-
continuity;
-
distance between inner edges;
-
allowable support zone;
-
method of attaching the base.
Support surface height
This is the mark at which the lower part of the slats or frame is located.
The height affects:
-
the depth of mattress seating;
-
the position of the mattress relative to the side rails;
-
the final height of the sleeping area;
-
the visible part of the headboard;
-
seating comfort;
-
compatibility with the selected frame.
Central longitudinal zone
For a double bed, you need to find out:
-
is a central beam provided;
-
is it part of the structure;
-
is it ordered separately;
-
where is it located;
-
at what level is it;
-
what supports are needed for it;
-
can a frame with its own central legs be used;
-
do the two systems not conflict.
Distance to floor
The finished base on legs must fit in height. If the legs are longer than the available space, the frame will rise or not fit inside.
Acceptable method of fixation
The base can:
-
lie freely on supports;
-
be fixed at certain points;
-
have its own load-bearing frame;
-
require a different scheme.
You cannot choose the method yourself.
Working drawing
Before purchasing the base, you need to download the drawing Versailles 001-001 or request the current size chart from the manager. If the standard drawing does not show internal supports, additional clarification will be required.
What to clarify with the mattress manufacturer
Even a perfect fit of the base inside the bed does not guarantee proper mattress support. The construction must meet the requirements of the mattress itself.
Maximum allowable spacing between slats
The distance affects support of the bottom surface. Too large gaps may be unacceptable for a specific model.
Do not use a universal number from someone else's instructions. Request the requirements specifically for the purchased mattress.
Minimum width of the support element
The mattress may require a certain contact area. Narrow slats or an unsuitable profile cannot be chosen based only on overall length.
Central support
For wide double mattresses, the manufacturer may have requirements for the center line. You need to find out:
-
Is a central beam required?
-
Is a gap in the center allowed?
-
Are additional slats needed?
-
Is a reinforced zone required?
-
How many support points should be under the beam.
Solid base
Some mattresses allow a solid base, while others require specific ventilation or a particular support scheme. You cannot replace slats with sheet material without confirmation.
Ventilation
The mattress may require air movement from below. The base design must not create conditions that contradict its instructions.
Adjustable frame
If a lifting or transformable base is considered, the mattress manufacturer must confirm the possibility of such use. At the same time, coordination with the Versailles 001-001 frame is required.
Permissible mattress position
Some models are designed for a specific orientation or type of support. All requirements are retained and passed on to the base manufacturer.
Individual slats or a ready-made slatted frame: comparison without a universal winner
Both approaches can work, but compatibility with Versailles 001-001 is confirmed separately.
| Criterion | Individual slats | Ready-made frame with slats |
|---|---|---|
| Selection by length | Manufactured or selected for internal fit | The external size of the frame must fit exactly into the box |
| Side support | Requires confirmed support beams | Can rest on aprons or its own legs |
| Central zone | Designed separately | Can be part of a finished structure |
| Number of supports | Calculated according to the scheme | Set by the frame manufacturer |
| Height | Depends on the cross-section and support mark | Depends on the metal profile and legs |
| Installation | Requires precise layout | Requires checking the dimensions and position of the legs |
| Replacement of a separate element | Possible by design | Depends on the frame model |
| Risk of error | Incorrect length, pitch, or support | Frame does not fit, sits too high, or conflicts with the body |
| What to check on the mattress | Pitch, support width, and central support | Admissibility of a specific system |
| What to check on Versailles | Internal dimensions and slats | Seating size, height, and legs |
Individual slats
This option looks simple: order cross elements of the required length and lay them between the side rails. But first, you need to know the exact fit.
For the calculation, you will need:
-
clear width between support zones;
-
length of one slat;
-
width of the slat;
-
its cross-section;
-
step;
-
distance to the backrests;
-
method of preventing displacement;
-
central support;
-
mattress requirements.
The Versailles 001-001 card does not publish these parameters, so you cannot compile a specification on your own.
Finished frame
The buyer receives an assembled structure with slats and, possibly, its own supports. This reduces the number of individual parts, but does not eliminate measurements.
Need to check:
-
full external size;
-
height of the metal profile;
-
location of all legs;
-
length of threaded or adjustable supports;
-
width of the support area;
-
need for fastening;
-
possibility of bringing in and assembling inside the bedroom;
-
final mattress height.
Solid base
This option is considered only after confirmation from the mattress manufacturer and the bed designer. A sheet deck cannot be considered a universal replacement for slats.
Checked:
-
ventilation;
-
rigidity;
-
mass;
-
supports;
-
central zone;
-
thickness;
-
height;
-
fixation method;
-
possibility of disassembly.
Version 160 × 200: how to place an order if the mattress has already been purchased
Let's imagine a real situation. The mattress has a nominal size of 1600 × 2000 mm and a thickness of 240 mm. The buyer chose the corresponding Versailles 001-001.
A thickness of 240 mm meets the recommendation of “from 200 mm,” but this is not enough for the final configuration.
First, confirm the bed configuration
The invoice should state that the version for a mattress 2000 × 1600 mm is selected. The external dimensions are 2168 × 1864 × 1509 mm.
Get the internal cross-section
Required:
-
distance between side rails;
-
distance between headboards;
-
height of supports;
-
presence of a central beam;
-
available height for the base.
Request the mattress passport
From it, requirements are taken for:
-
spacing;
-
ventilation;
-
central support;
-
permissible type of base.
Select the construction
Slats and the finished frame are compared based on actual data. The label "160 × 200" is not enough.
Calculate the final height
A mattress 240 mm thick may protrude significantly above the side rails. To assess this, the base level is needed.
Conditional formula:
Visible mattress height above the side rail = mattress thickness − depth of its recess.
The recess depth is determined by the distance from the top plane of the base to the top edge of the side rail.
Without this value, it is impossible to promise how the finished bed will look.
Place your order as a single line
Versailles 001-001 for a 2000 × 1600 mm mattress — 1 pc. Material — beech or oak. The mattress base is purchased separately after confirmation of the internal drawing. Mattress — 1600 × 2000 × 240 mm.
Version 180 × 200: why the central zone cannot be left to the assembler's discretion
A mattress 1800 × 2000 mm is wider, so the support structure must support it not only on the sides. But the exact method of support cannot be devised in an article: it depends on Versailles, the chosen base, and the mattress itself.
What cannot be done
You cannot order two independent groups of slats and place them on a random rail in the center.
You cannot place a single furniture leg under the middle without calculation.
You cannot use a central beam that is higher or lower than the side supports.
You cannot attach it to the headboard and footboard at random points.
You cannot assume that a ready-made metal frame necessarily replaces all internal bed elements.
What should be on the drawing
-
the central axis;
-
the design of the longitudinal beam, if required;
-
support points on the floor;
-
level of the top plane;
-
connection to the frame;
-
gap to the mattress;
-
position of the legs of the finished frame;
-
absence of conflict with decorative and mounting elements.
After checking, you can buy a bed 180 × 200 in a suitable classic configuration, and include the mattress base in a separate technical specification.
Version 200 × 200: a large area requires precise fitting
A square mattress 2000 × 2000 mm visually and structurally differs from narrower options. Any base error is repeated over a large area.
The finished frame must fit inside, not just match the mattress
If its external size exceeds the clean seating area even by a small amount, the frame will not lower onto the supports.
The central legs must land on free floor.
The position of the supports cannot be changed arbitrarily. If there are internal elements inside the bed, they may intersect with the frame legs.
All supports must work at the same height.
Side and central points must not create a difference in level. The structure is checked in assembled form.
A mattress with a thickness of 200 mm or more changes the overall proportion.
A wide bed with a high mattress looks more massive. Before ordering, it is useful to build a side view with the actual thickness.
In this section you can choose a bed for a 200 × 200 mattress, but the exact under-mattress system needs to be confirmed separately.
Base height: a parameter that determines the appearance of the finished bed
A customer usually thinks about width and length. However, the height of the base inside the box is no less significant.
Base too high
The mattress noticeably rises above the side rails and footboard. Possible consequences:
-
the proportions of the headboard change;
-
the mattress looks like a separate tall block;
-
the edge of the side rail barely holds it visually;
-
the seating height becomes higher than expected;
-
the bedspread drapes differently on the sides.
Base too low
The mattress sinks deeply inside.
This can:
-
cover part of its side surface;
-
make tucking in the sheet more difficult;
-
make the seating lower;
-
change the appearance of the foot of the bed;
-
create a tight gap between the mattress and the side rail.
Final height of the sleeping area
It can be preliminarily represented as follows:
Height of the sleeping area from the floor = height of the support plane of the base + thickness of the base above this plane + thickness of the mattress.
Exact values are taken from the drawing and specifications of the selected design.
Visible mattress height
Visible part of the mattress = total mattress thickness − depth of recess into the box.
If the mattress has already been purchased, this calculation must be done before making the bed or buying the base.
A recommendation from 200 mm does not mean a single thickness
The phrase "mattress thickness from 200 mm" sets a lower recommended guideline, but does not confirm that any taller mattress will maintain the desired proportions. Thicknesses of 250, 300, or 350 mm need to be shown in a cross-section.
Support bars: a small detail on which the entire fit depends
If the base rests on internal bars, their position determines the width, height, and stability of the system.
Width of the support surface
The slat or frame must have sufficient contact area. The element cannot be placed on a narrow edge without confirmation.
Height
Both side supports must be at the same level. Central support, if used, is brought to the same plane.
Continuity
The bar can run along the entire side rail or consist of separate sections. This affects the placement of slats and the frame.
Attachment to the side rail
The customer must not reinforce the bars with additional screws without a drawing. The bed construction and permissible attachment points are confirmed by the manufacturer.
Finishing and contact
If the support areas are painted or covered with another finish, it is necessary to check whether the coating interferes with precise fitting and whether it gets damaged during installation of the metal frame.
Central beam and supports: what needs to be clarified but cannot be invented
For wide double bed constructions, central support often becomes a key issue. However, the article is not authorized to assign a specific beam, its cross-section, or the number of legs without confirmed data.
Request five answers
-
Is a central longitudinal beam provided specifically for the selected Versailles version?
-
Is it included with the bed delivery?
-
At what height is its top surface?
-
How many supports are required for it according to the project?
-
Can a ready-made bed base frame use its own central system instead of it?
If a ready-made frame is used
It is necessary to understand whether the bed only serves a decorative and enclosing function around an independent base, or whether the frame additionally rests on internal elements of the body.
If individual slats are used
It is necessary to find out where each slat ends:
-
on the opposite side rail;
-
on the central beam;
-
in a special holder;
-
according to another confirmed scheme.
The supports must stand on a prepared base
If the central legs touch the floor, check:
-
flatness;
-
finish coating;
-
carpet pile height;
-
absence of utilities;
-
access for adjustment;
-
possibility of assembly after installing the bed.
How many slats are needed for Versailles 001-001
There is no exact number in the published data. Any ready-made answer without additional dimensions would be a fabrication.
The quantity depends on:
-
internal length;
-
width of each slat;
-
allowable distance between slats;
-
edge gaps;
-
holder design;
-
mattress requirements;
-
central pattern;
-
base type.
Why you cannot copy the quantity from another bed
Even if another model has the same mattress, the inner box and support system may differ. Slats of a different length won't fit, and the same spacing may require a different quantity.
What to provide to the slat manufacturer
-
article Versailles 001-001;
-
selected execution;
-
current inner drawing;
-
length of the support zone;
-
width between supports;
-
mattress requirements;
-
central scheme;
-
height of the base;
-
method of preventing displacement;
-
acceptable material and cross-section per the project.
Do not order slats in advance "with a reserve"
Extra elements will not fix an incorrect length or unsuitable cross-section. First, one complete specification is agreed upon.
How to choose a mattress base and not confuse it with a separate wooden frame
A request for a wooden bed frame may lead the buyer to the section of blanks and carved furniture structures. But Versailles 001-001 is already a specific bed. It does not need a second decorative body.
Section where it is presented wooden bed frame, is useful for comparing product types, but does not serve as an automatic source of slats.
Wooden frame
May include decorative and load-bearing elements of a standalone bed.
Bed base frame
Hidden inside the body and supports the mattress.
Individual slats
They are parts of the base, not a replacement for the entire bed.
Versailles 001-001
A ready-made classic model, for which the under-mattress system is selected additionally.
To understand more deeply, it is useful to read how the frame differs from the slatted base, and then return to the exact dimensions of Versailles.
Slats or solid decking: it's not habit that decides, but the mattress requirements
A buyer may consider a solid surface more reliable: no gaps, the mattress lies evenly. Another prefers slats for ventilation. Both conclusions are too general.
Slatted base
Only suitable when confirmed:
-
distances;
-
width;
-
central support;
-
method of support;
-
compatibility with the mattress.
Solid base
Considered if:
-
the mattress manufacturer allows this type;
-
necessary ventilation conditions are ensured;
-
stiffness is calculated;
-
support is determined;
-
the structure's weight is acceptable;
-
the height does not disrupt seating;
-
installation does not require unconfirmed drilling.
Combined system
Any combinations of slats, frames, and additional sheets require verification. A sheet added on top changes ventilation, height, and the operation of the base.
In the material about, how a bed for a 160 × 200 mattress is constructed, you can study the general principle, but the exact construction of Versailles is determined by its drawing.
Mattress purchased before the bed: the correct order of checking
Buying the mattress first is acceptable if the bed and base are then selected according to its exact parameters.
Write down not only the width and length
You will need:
-
exact size;
-
thickness;
-
weight, if specified and needed by the designer;
-
base requirements;
-
maximum spacing;
-
central support;
-
suitability for an adjustable frame;
-
ventilation requirements.
Select the appropriate version of Versailles
A 1600 × 2000 mm mattress requires a version for 160 cm. Do not attempt to compensate for the difference with fillers inside a 180 or 200 cm execution without a specially designed solution.
Build a side section
Show:
-
floor;
-
bed legs;
-
apron;
-
support surface;
-
base;
-
mattress;
-
top of the footboard;
-
headboard.
Check assembly access
The finished bed base frame must be brought into the room or assembled inside. Door and stairway dimensions may influence the choice between a one-piece or knockdown design.
Do not remove the mattress packaging until the base is ready
Storage conditions are determined by its manufacturer. The floor and random surfaces should not be used as a long-term replacement for the base.
Bed chosen before mattress: how to keep freedom of choice
If the mattress has not been purchased yet, the sequence is simpler, but technical questions still remain.
Confirm the width
160, 180, and 200 cm are three different versions of Versailles. After the frame is made, the width cannot be changed without rework.
Get the internal diagram
It will be needed for comparing mattresses and bases.
Choose the mattress together with support requirements
Do not limit yourself to softness and thickness. The base specification should be part of the choice.
Match the thickness with the headboard and footboard
Recommended minimum is 200 mm. A thicker mattress needs to be shown in cross-section.
Order the base before the mattress is delivered
By the time it arrives, the bed must be fully ready for use.
Beech or oak: the bed material does not determine the slat construction, but it affects the entire order
Versailles 001-001 can be ordered in beech or oak. The wood type is chosen for the bed frame and is related to the appearance, finish, and bedroom furniture.
Beech
Beech can be considered for opaque painting when the bed needs to have a specific color and match nightstands, a mirror, or other furniture.
Oak
Oak is chosen when a pronounced wood texture, clear or tinted finish is important.
The base can be hidden, but its height still matters
Even if the frame and slats are not visible, they determine the mattress position. The base material cannot be chosen solely by aesthetics: the confirmed construction comes first.
All visible details of one bedroom are best coordinated in a single batch
With a transparent finish, the bed, nightstands, and mirror may differ in the natural wood grain pattern, but the same wood species and overall finish help assemble a cohesive system.
In the category you can choose a bed made of oak or beech and determine in advance which items will be made in the same finish.
What to order together with Versailles 001-001
Purchasing a bed becomes complete only after the entire bedroom and the technical part of the sleeping area are formed.
| Position | What it is for | What to Check |
|---|---|---|
| Versailles 001-001 | Forms the frame and style of the bed | Size 160, 180, or 200 cm, beech or oak |
| Mattress | Creates the sleeping surface |
RaWhy they cannot be combined without a projectEach product has its own:
The word "frame" matching does not mean compatibility. How to check the product in the invoiceThe documents must specify the full name and article number. For Versailles — 001-001. For the bed base system — a separate specification, not a reference to a random wooden frame. Practical purchase scenariosThe 160 × 200 mattress has already been delivered, the bed is only being ordered.Choose the appropriate Versailles, request the internal drawing and mattress passport. Do not buy slats until the fit is confirmed. The 180 × 200 mattress was ordered at the same time as the bed.Connect the bed manager and the mattress seller through a single technical table. Internal dimensions and support requirements must meet in it. The 200 × 200 mattress has a large thickness.Build a side view with the actual thickness. Check the height above the side rails, nightstands, and footboard. A ready-made metal base has already been purchased.Take its full external dimensions, height, and leg coordinates. Only after that compare with Versailles. The buyer wants to use the old base.The age and name of the construction do not prove compatibility. Actual dimensions, condition, and requirements of the new mattress are needed. The bedside tables are already in the bedroom.The final mattress height should match them. The base level becomes a design parameter. The bed is ordered for a country house.Check in advance the delivery of the large frame and the possibility of assembly inside the room. Delivery and packaging conditions are agreed separately. The bedroom is fully furnished.It is reasonable to choose the bed, bedside tables, mirror, base, and mattress at the same time to avoid a gap between beautiful furniture and technical readiness. The mattress requires a small step of supports.This information is passed to the base manufacturer. The number of slats cannot be reduced or increased by eye. The buyer wants a lifting base.The possibility of installation must be separately agreed with the Versailles design and mattress requirements. The card does not confirm a standard lifting system. Mistakes that cause the bed to arrive before the baseMistake 1. Not reading the line about slatsThe buyer assumes they are included in the delivery. How to avoid: before payment, separately check the bed, mattress, and base. Mistake 2. Considering the mattress as part of the bedAfter delivery, it turns out that it needs to be ordered separately. How to avoid: itemize the invoice composition by positions. Mistake 3. Buying a base only by the marking 160 × 200The external frame dimension is not included in the box. How to avoid: compare actual dimensions. Error 4. Using the external size of Versailles as the internal oneThe base turns out to be too large. How to avoid: request a clear landing zone. Error 5. Measuring the internal space along the top edgeAt the level of the supports, the width may differ. How to avoid: measure in the plane where the base is installed. Error 6.

Placing the mattress on the floor inside the bedThe design height and usage conditions are violated. How to avoid: do not substitute the base with a random surface. Mistake 13. Using a sheet deck without checkingThe mattress may require different ventilation. How to avoid: check the instructions. Error 14. Adding a sheet over the lamellasVentilation and height change. How to avoid: do not modify the system without approval. Error 15. Not checking the central beamThe wide structure remains without confirmed support. How to avoid: request the center scheme. Error 16. Placing a random rail in the centerIts height does not match the side supports. How to avoid: use a calculated element. Error 17. Installing one central leg by eyeThe point does not match the load scheme. How to avoid: follow the foundation design. Error 18.

Buying a frame with unsuitable legsThey conflict with the body. How to avoid: mark coordinates on the plan. Error 20. Shortening the legs of a finished frame yourselfThe structure and level change. How to avoid: choose a compatible model. Error 21. Not checking the height of the metal profileThe mattress rises too high. How to avoid: perform a side calculation. Error 22. Considering 200 mm as the only mattress thicknessA taller option is chosen without checking proportions. How to avoid: substitute the actual thickness into the cross-section. Error 23. Comparing a nightstand with an empty bedAfter the mattress, the levels diverge. How to avoid: take into account the finished sleeping area. Error 24. Buying the 180 cm version for a 160 cm mattressThere remains unconfirmed space on the sides. How to avoid: choose the appropriate version. Error 25. Trying to install a 180 cm mattress into the 160 cm versionIt does not match the intended size. How to avoid: verify the order before production. Error 26. Confusing the external dimension with the mattress sizeThe bed does not fit in the bedroom, or the base is not suitable. How to avoid: keep two separate rows of dimensions. Error 27. Forgetting about walkways around the bedVersion 200 × 200 takes up more space than the mattress size shows. How to avoid: use the full external dimension. Error 28. Buying the base after final assemblyAccess for installation turns out to be limited. How to avoid: agree on the sequence in advance. Error 29. Buying a one-piece frame that doesn't fit through the doorThe base cannot be brought in. How to avoid: check the delivery route. Error 30. Ordering the bed and base from different contractors without a common drawingEach uses their own system of dimensions. How to avoid: give one document to both parties. Error 31. Taking the advertising word "orthopedic" as proof of compatibilityThe name does not show dimensions and supports. How to avoid: read the technical specifications. Error 32. Drilling the side rails yourselfYou can damage the structure and finish. How to avoid: agree on mounting points. Error 33. Attaching a metal frame without necessityUnconfirmed holes are created. How to avoid: determine the standard installation method. Error 34. Not checking the presence of the base in the invoiceThe buyer thinks it is added automatically.

How to avoid: write the mattress size next to the model. Error 36. Ordering birch instead of oak or vice versaThe bed does not match the nightstands and the mirror. How to avoid: one furniture specification. Error 37. Ordering furniture in different periods without a finish sampleThe color may require re-approval. How to avoid: store the approved sample. Error 38. Not checking the floor levelThe central supports work unevenly. How to avoid: take into account the finished base. Error 39. Considering a finished bed as a ready sleeping placeThere is no support structure and mattress. How to avoid: split the purchase into three elements. Error 40. Leaving the selection of slats to the installer on the day of installationHe does not have confirmed dimensions and mattress requirements. How to avoid: prepare the specification in advance.

When it is better to choose a different bed or a different configurationAnother option is more reasonable if:
In the catalog you can buy a classic solid wood bed after comparing sizes, configurations, and internal structure. How to place an order without technical gapsInstead of the short line "Versailles, oak, 180", prepare a full specification. Bed Versailles 001-001 — 1 pc.
Such a note makes the issue visible before payment, not after assembly. Purchase route on STAVROSCheck the main product cardFirst, you need to view bed and mattress dimensions and choose one of three executions.

Choose the baseCompare individual slats, a ready-made frame, and other acceptable options. Check deliveryAfter the entire specification is approved, you can order Versailles 001-001 with delivery and separately arrange packaging, carrying in, and assembly sequence. Frequently asked questions about Versailles 001-001, slats, and the baseAre slats included in the Versailles 001-001 set?No. The card directly indicates that mattress slats are not included in the delivery. Does the mattress come included?No. The mattress is purchased separately. Can the bed be used without a base?No. The mattress requires a designated support system. Can I place the mattress directly inside the box?No, not until the surface that should support it is confirmed. Can I place the mattress on the floor inside the bed?This method does not replace the designed base and violates the intended height. What thickness should the mattress be?For Versailles, a mattress with a thickness of at least 200 mm is recommended. Will a mattress with a thickness of exactly 200 mm be suitable?It meets the minimum thickness recommendation, but the appearance and fit need to be checked against the base level. Can a mattress with a thickness of 300 mm be used?The possibility depends on the desired height and depth of the fit. Build a side cross-section. What mattress sizes does Versailles support?1600 × 2000, 1800 × 2000, or 2000 × 2000 mm in the corresponding versions. Can a 160 × 200 mattress be placed in the 180 × 200 version?Such a mismatch is not provided for by the approved scheme. Choose the corresponding version. Can a 180 × 200 mattress be installed in the 160 × 200 version?No, it is wider than the intended sleeping area. What is the external size of the 160 × 200 version?2168 × 1864 × 1509 mm. What is the external size of the 180 × 200 version?2168 × 2064 × 1553 mm. What is the external size of the 200 × 200 version?2168 × 2264 × 1553 mm. Are the external dimensions of the bed equal to the dimensions of the base?No. The external dimension includes the wooden frame. Is the mattress size equal to the size of the finished frame?Not always. Need to check the actual base dimensions. Can I buy a frame marked 160 × 200 without measurements?No. First compare its external size with the internal seating area. How to find out the internal size of Versailles?According to the current drawing or confirmed measurement of a specific version. What internal dimensions are needed?Length, width, height of the support plane, and position of all supports. Is the number of slats published?It is not specified in the provided product diagram. How many slats should I order?The quantity is calculated after determining the length, width, pitch, and mattress requirements. Can I take slats from another bed?Only after fully checking the dimensions and support scheme. How do I find out the length of the slat?Based on the internal distance between the provided supports and the mounting structure. What should the width of the slats be?It is determined by the base design and mattress requirements. What distance should be left between the slats?The maximum allowable pitch should be confirmed with the mattress manufacturer. Is a central beam needed?The published data does not provide a universal answer. The presence and design need to be confirmed. Are central legs needed?Depends on the chosen base and the bed design. Can one leg be placed in the center?You cannot assign the number and position yourself. What to do if the finished frame has its own legs?Compare their coordinates and height with the internal structure of Versailles. Can the legs of the finished base be removed?Only if allowed by its manufacturer and confirmed by the bed design. Can the legs be shortened?Self-modification can disrupt the structure and level of the base. Should the frame rest on the side rails?This depends on the specific scheme. Confirmation is required. Can the frame be screwed to the bed?Only at permitted points and according to the agreed technology. Can the side rails be drilled independently?Without a drawing, it is not allowed. What are support bars?These are internal elements on which the base may rest. Their presence and position need to be confirmed. Is the width of the Versailles support bars known?It is not indicated in the published diagram. Is the installation height of the base known?No, it needs to be requested. Why is the height so important?It determines the mattress seating depth and the final height of the sleeping area. How to calculate the visible height of the mattress?Subtract the depth of its seating inside the side rails from the total thickness. Can a solid deck be used?Only after confirmation from the mattress and the bed design. Is ventilation needed from below?Requirements are determined by the manufacturer of the specific mattress. Can a lifting base be used?Standard compatibility is not confirmed. A separate project is required. Can an adjustable frame be installed?Only after coordination with the bed and mattress. What should be ordered first: the bed or the base?You can choose in parallel, but the base should be purchased after receiving the internal dimensions. The mattress has already been purchased — what should be done first?Obtain its technical requirements and choose the corresponding Versailles version. The bed has already been ordered — when should the mattress be purchased?After confirming execution and calculating the base. Can I buy the base after the bed is delivered?Yes, but this will leave the sleeping area unfinished. Better to coordinate in advance. What bed material is available?Beech or oak. What to choose for enamel?Beech can be considered for covering finish, but the final decision depends on the project. What should I choose for visible texture?Oak is often chosen for transparent or tinted finish. Does the bed wood type affect the base size?No, the nominal version is preserved, but the exact internal dimensions are still confirmed. Is a bedside table included in the set?No. Versailles 012-001 is ordered separately. Does the mirror come included?No. Versailles 008-002 is a separate item. Do I need to buy two nightstands?The quantity depends on the layout and needs of the bedroom. How do I match the nightstand with the bed?Compare the height of the nightstand with the top surface of the finished mattress. Can I order the entire bedroom in one batch?Yes, the bed, nightstands, mirror, and other items can be coordinated in the same style. Where can I check the price of Versailles 001-001?In the main card of the selected finish. Does the price depend on size and material?The current price needs to be checked after selecting the configuration. Can I order an oak bed?Yes, oak is listed as an available material. Can I order a beech bed?Yes. Is assembly included in the price?The terms of configuration and services need to be clarified when placing an order. How can I check if the base will fit through the door?Compare its transport dimensions with doors, staircases, and turns. Is a solid or split frame better?The choice depends on the installation, drift, and technical specifications. Do I need to keep the drawing after assembly?Yes. It will be useful for replacing the base and future maintenance. Can the slats be replaced later?The possibility depends on the design. Keep the dimensions and specification. Is a spare set of slats needed?The decision is made after determining the specific system. A random spare does not fix a size error. What should be checked upon receiving the bed?Item number, version, material, dimensions, completeness of body elements, and absence of slats in the invoice if they were not ordered separately. What should be checked upon receiving the base?External dimensions, height, number of supports, leg placement, and compliance with the drawing. When should the mattress be installed?After assembly, leveling, and acceptance of the base. Who should calculate the mattress support system?The designer, bed manufacturer, base maker, or a qualified furniture specialist based on confirmed data. What question should you ask the STAVROS manager?"Provide the internal dimensions of the selected Versailles 001-001, the position of the support bars, the base height, and the central support diagram." What question should you ask the mattress manufacturer?"What is the maximum slat spacing, base type, and central support allowed for my model?" What question should you ask the frame manufacturer?"What are the full external dimensions, profile height, leg placement, and support method?" What question should you ask the designer?"How will the chosen base height and mattress thickness affect the headboard, footboard, and nightstands?" What question should you ask the assembler?"According to which drawing is the base installed, and what operations are allowed with the bed rails?" Versailles 001-001 should be ordered as a ready-made bedroom and a ready-made sleeping place — these are not the same thingVersailles 001-001 forms a classic bed: it sets the external dimensions, material, headboard, footboard, and overall character of the bedroom. But a finished wooden frame does not mean the mattress has proper support. Slats and the mattress itself are not included in the standard delivery. Before ordering the base, compare three groups of data. The first is the selected Versailles configuration: 160, 180, or 200 cm, internal dimensions, support bars, height, and central scheme. The second is the base characteristics: full dimensions, slats, frame, legs, installation level, and support method. The third is the mattress requirements: allowable slat spacing, ventilation, central support, and permitted surface type. If at least one group remains unknown, it's too early to buy slats or a ready-made frame. First, request the current drawing, build a side section with the actual mattress thickness, and include the base as a separate line in the specification. STAVROS allows you to assemble the project sequentially: choose Versailles 001-001 in beech or oak, compare classic beds, select nightstands and a mirror from the same collection, order a working bedroom layout, and arrange delivery. This approach eliminates the situation where an expensive bed is already in the room, the mattress has been delivered, but there is still no full-fledged sleeping place. |
