🛏 A Bed Base Built for Real-World Demands
Wendy Wolhuter - Marketing, Vendella
27 June 2025
When it comes to Makers vs other commercial bed bases, the difference is clear. You don’t have time for out-of-order rooms—or full bed base replacements every time something breaks. That’s why the Makers Midnight Commercial Bed Base is built differently.
When every room night counts, you need a bed base that’s quiet, sturdy, and built to last. But not all commercial bed bases are truly designed for the demands of high-turnover accommodation.

🔧 Designed with Longevity in Mind
The real genius of Makers? You don’t need to throw out the whole frame when something goes wrong.
- 🛠Replaceable parts mean when something breaks, you’re not starting from scratch.
- 📦 Spare components are stocked and dispatched same-day, so repairs don’t wait weeks.
- 🧰 Tool-free assembly and a compact flat-pack design make setup fast, simple, and manageable even in tight lifts or corridors.
That means:
Fewer rooms out of order
Less stress for housekeeping teams
Better cost control and less waste for procurement teams
🔍 Makers vs Other Commercial Bed Bases
Let’s take a closer look at how Makers stacks up against typical commercial alternatives:
| Feature | Makers Commercial Bed Base | Typical Commercial Bed Base |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Powder-coated steel frame with FSC-certified pine plywood slats | Timber or mixed materials, often unspecified |
| Weight Rating | 300kg static load | Often unspecified or lower |
| Noise & Movement | Anti-squeak cross bars, rigid frame | Can creak, flex, or wobble over time |
| Assembly & Delivery | Flat-packed, tool-free assembly | Preassembled, bulky, harder to manoeuvre |
| Storage & Handling | Stackable, space-efficient | Takes up more space in storage and transit |
| Spare Parts | Stocked, same-day dispatch | Usually requires full replacement |
| ESG Alignment | FSC-certified timber, flat-pack design reduces freight emissions, long lifespan reduces waste | Shorter lifespan, higher freight volume, more landfill waste |
âś… Why It Matters
Let’s be honest—most “commercial” bed bases weren’t designed for daily reality in hotels, motels, or holiday parks. They creak, they break, and when one part fails, you’re left replacing the entire base.
Makers is built for accommodation providers who want fewer issues, fewer replacements, and better control over both budget and guest satisfaction. It’s the kind of product that makes life easier for housekeeping teams and smarter for procurement.
♻️ Built for Sustainability
For procurement teams, Makers aligns with ESG goals:
- Longer life = less frequent replacement
- Flat-pack design = lower freight emissions
- Spare parts = less product waste
You get commercial-grade performance, with a lighter footprint.
âś… Summary: A Base That Stays in Service
Whether it’s assembly day or five years down the track, the Makers Bed Base is engineered to make your life easier—not harder.
Whether you’re replacing tired frames or planning a full upgrade, the Makers Commercial Bed Base is a smarter, longer-lasting investment.
