Are you looking for a new bed? A luxury box spring is a fantastic investment in your night's sleep. It doesn’t just offer optimal sleeping comfort, but instantly gives your bedroom that exclusive, warm Van der Valk hotel ambiance.
Because you spend a large part of your life in bed, you want to make the right choice. But what should you really pay attention to when buying one? Valk Store helps you on your way with 4 essential tips from our sleep experts.
1. Choose a Timeless Color for Your Bedroom Interior
A high-quality box spring lasts for years. While a bright trend color might seem very appealing right now, our advice is to choose a timeless, neutral shade. Think of warm sand tones, stylish gray, deep dark blue, or chic anthracite.
With a neutral base, you can endlessly vary your bedding, decorative pillows, and accessories over the years without ever getting tired of your bed.

2. Determine the Ideal Dimensions (Length, Width, and Height)
A generous bed exudes luxury, but it also needs to fit functionally into the room. Keep the following points in mind when determining the size:
-
The Length: As a rule of thumb, a bed should be at least 20 centimeters longer than the tallest person sleeping in it. Are you 1.85 m or taller? Then comfortably choose a length of 210 or 220 cm.
-
The Width: For a master bedroom, a width of 180 cm is the standard for ultimate freedom of movement. Do you have a more compact room? Then a width of 160 cm is a smart, cozy choice.
-
The Entry Height: A high box spring creates that authentic hotel look and makes getting in and out of bed much easier. When assembling, pay attention to the ratio between the legs, the box, and the mattress so the bed gets the perfect height for your stature.
3. Pay Attention to the Structure: From Pocket Springs to Topper
The secret to the famous Van der Valk sleeping comfort lies in the layers. A good box spring is a combination of three components that must complement each other perfectly:
-
The Box (Base): This is the foundation. A pocket-sprung box offers the best resilience and ventilation.
-
The Mattress: Choose a pocket spring mattress with different comfort zones. This ensures your shoulders and hips get the right support and your spine stays straight.
-
The Topper (Top Mattress): This is the top layer that determines the initial comfort. A comfort foam (cold foam) topper offers firmness and excellent ventilation, while memory foam or latex shapes perfectly to your body and relieves pressure.
4. Don't Just Stare at the Price, Choose Quality
A good box spring is an investment in your health and daytime energy levels. Cheaper box springs often look the same on the outside, but the difference is on the inside. Cheaper materials (such as bonnell springs or low-density foam fillings) quickly lose their resilience, resulting in sagging and back pain.
At Valk Store, we believe that a top-quality bed doesn't have to cost a fortune. We bring the luxury from our hotels to your bedroom, made from durable materials that guarantee years of wonderful sleep.
