I see loads of pallet every day at work, so I really don't get it. They're pieces of wood you ship **** on, why would you want that in your house?

Anyway, I hope it works nicely for you.

It's a low cost effective way of getting a solid bed base. We really like the look. Saw plenty of examples online and has a certain rustic/retro/hipster look to it, which I am ashamed to say I like! :p

The bed base cost €100 in total. €80 for the pallets and then €20 in fittings and several hours work sanding and prepping and bolting them together.

The mattress cost €570, reduced from €650. It's odd how the most expensive mattress I have ever owned is on the cheapest bed base :D
 
Just finished setting up my Denon AVR 2300 amp and Samsung UE55KS8000 HDR 4K TV, HDR in particular is stunning. :)

Don't forget that bed bases are also designed to have mattresses on them and as such work with the mattress to support you. That being said, I've no idea how much of that is just salesman mumbo jumbo, but it could be that the money you've spent on the mattress is being wasted because of how its interacting with the base.

I think that is maybe a load of sales pitch :p - my last bed base was a pine frame with wooden flats. This is the same but without a nice finish :p

Pallets are designed to withstand a lot of weight for a long period of time and are regularly abused massively in warehouses etc so should be ok for this, I hope so anyway! Time will tell.

absolute mumbo jumbo and a lot of cheap bed bases have the supports to far apart and don't support the mattress properly.

Only between the same types eg solid slats. There is a big difference between the same mattress on solid slats/sprung slats/sprung base unit.

We made that mistake once buying a mattress in a shop where it was on a different base to ours at home. It was totally different when we got it.

SO always try your mattress on the same type of base that you are going to use.
 
Finally got our kitchen remodel finished.

Quartz Countertops
550sq ft bamboo flooring
New stainless steel sink & faucet
Subway tile back splash

Very happy with how it all turned out :)
 
Ooh. Bamboo flooring. Now there's an idea. Looking to replace the carpets in my living, dining and bedrooms.

How thick is it, roughly?

I believe around 8mm thick.
it went down on top of our existing flooring with a denim felt underlay and still fits everywhere nicely (had to adjust door jams etc). But very happy with it.
