Beech - slant-sleep - groins (also called reflux - groins)

Our inclined ledge sets:

Set content:  
2 pieces of slanted slats, here made of solid beech glued wood NSI (non-visible quality), height wedge-shaped from about 0.3cm at the foot end to desired height at the head end, thickness about 2.6 cm, length about 198 cm (on request also longer and shorter).

Important: The wedge slats are pre-drilled and screws of the appropriate length are supplied together with the mounting accessories. When the boards, which were previously planed out completely straight, are cut diagonally, the solid wood relaxes and becomes bent in different ways. This is normal with solid wood due to the material. Therefore, when screwing the slatted slats under the slatted frame, they may have to be bent a little straighter and inserted into the bed frame together.

Please check before ordering:
If your slatted frame is firmly attached to the bed (box) and / or cannot be removed, you cannot fit slatted slats!

What is the difference between beech and spruce?

On the one hand, of course, the appearance: beech is brown-reddish, spruce is light beige with branches.
On the other hand, beech is a very hard and heavy wood, spruce on the other hand is light, soft and sometimes has a defect.

If you are rather heavier and your slatted frame only rests on steel brackets mounted on the side of the bed, I definitely recommend the firmer beech. If, however, there are continuous support bars for the slatted frame on the side of the bed, then spruce is sufficient for any body weight.

In order to obtain just under 3° slanted, slopes with a height difference of about 10 cm from the foot to the head are required for a nominal length of 2m.
A 3.5° slanted slat would already be about 12 cm higher at 2 m length.
A 5.5° slanted slat even means about 19 cm more height at the head end.

Example with 10.3cm head height, mounted under a good Dormiente-PhysioformPro slatted frame:

 




Example with 19.3cm head height, mounted under a Relax-2000 stone pine slatted frame, which due to its own height already stands further out than a slatted frame:



  

You can get the inclined slats in pairs in your desired height from 0.3 to 8.3cm and in further steps up to 12.3 cm:
(ready drilled and with enclosed screws in suitable lengths)

And if that not enough, even as a single pair in your desired height from 0.3 to 14.3cm and in further steps up to 19.3cm.
From 14.3cm height always with 1 dowelled, screwed crossbar for stabilisation at the head end,
manufactured for your slatted frame nominal width in 70cm, 80cm, 90cm, 100cm, 120cm, 140cm:
(with us ready drilled and with enclosed screws in suitable lengths)

All inclined slat sets are divided approximately in the middle of the length and pre-drilled.
Screws in the appropriate length are included, along with mounting accessories and instructions for standard mounting.

If your slatted frame is a few centimetres shorter than the 198 cm long slats, simply leave the wedge slats slightly longer on both sides.
For a slatted frame nominal length of 190 cm, the slats are supplied at the same price, shortened by 10 cm at the foot end.

Of course, slats for 210 and 220 cm nominal lengths can also be manufactured.
(For transport reasons, however, only in split length!!!)
If the head height remains the same, the number of degrees is reduced slightly depending on the length.
These longer slats are needed for slatted frames of 210 or 220 cm nominal length either for optical reasons, so that no hole remains at the side of the head end of the higher slats or with existing motor frames, which with their downwardly protruding mechanism in the head area can collide with the cross strut with slat heights from 14.3cm.

If you don't care about the hole at the head end and you don't have a motor frame, you can simply mount the 198cm long ones a few mm from the foot end and leave the last 10 to 20cm missing at the head end.
The body's centre of gravity is so low when lying down that no support is normally needed at the very top....
