The Mattres and the storage bed
The most important part of Oggioni storage beds, to create a perfect bed system.
THE MATTRESS AND THE STORAGE BED
Spring energy +
Human energy =
Opening!
A storage bed works thanks to an opening device that harnesses the combined energy of gas springs and human effort.
The human effort required is a function of the mattress weight and the power of the gas springs used. It is evident that an increase in mattress weight must correspond to an increase in gas spring power to keep the necessary effort within acceptable values.
If this were not the case, that is, if the gas spring power remained the same, an increase in mattress weight would increase the effort to lift the bed base and mattress.
Weight
What's the weight of a mattress?
The weight of a mattress depends, in addition to size, on its technical characteristics, its structure, the different materials that compose it and for this reason, with the same dimensions, the weight difference between 2 mattresses can be tens of kg.
The weight of a mattress is usually an irrelevant datum if the bed on which it is placed is "fixed", that is, non-storage. In the case instead of a storage bed, as we have seen, the weight and dimensions of a mattress are a determining element for the proper functioning of a storage bed.

More powerful gas springs for heavier mattresses
Of relatively recent invention, the gas spring works thanks to the compression and decompression of a small gas charge contained inside it.
Oggioni uses for its storage beds only high-quality gas springs from the best German production, guaranteed in performance and safety by very rigorous controls.
As we have seen, the gas spring constitutes an indispensable element to open or lift the bed base and mattress.
If the mattress is heavier than another, if it is larger than another, if the opening system is different, the power of the gas springs must be adequate.
THE MATTRESS AND THE STORAGE BED
The mattress in an Oggioni storage bed
In an Oggioni storage bed the connection with the mattress is even stronger.
Not only are the dimensions and weights of mattresses determining elements for the correct functioning of the storage bed, but even some headboards are designed with a particular shape to allow the mattress to fit into the headboard enabling the recovery of precious centimeters in depth.
It is evident that the opening and even more the perfect lifting of the mattress depend precisely on how the mattress itself is made, which must be made exactly in that way. This is why it is crucial that on an Oggioni storage bed there is an original Oggioni mattress.
