💡 Morphea tip : remember to leave at least 50 cm around the bed to move freely in the bedroom.

Breathable materials for a cool sleep.
A 10-year guarantee and a 100-night trial.
And still that feeling of sleeping in a cloud bed, unique to Morphea.
Yes, but it is strongly discouraged.

At Morphea, comfort for two always starts with bedding adapted to your lifestyle.
The bed base is the foundation of sleeping comfort. It supports the mattress, improves air circulation, and extends the life of your bedding.
slatted bed base : perfect for memory foam mattresses.
Upholstered bed base : ideal for spring mattresses, for firm and balanced comfort.
Slatted or articulated bed base : recommended for electric or adjustable beds.
Check the passage in the stairwell or elevator for beds 160×200 and larger.
Consider using two-part bed bases to facilitate delivery (2x80x200 = 160x200).
Leave 10 cm of space between the bed base and the wall for better ventilation.
To go beyond the simple question of size, think about functionality and comfort .
