With Auping's manually adjustable mesh base, you can adjust both the back section and the foot section. The back section can be adjusted to 13 different positions and the foot section to 6. If you would prefer a motorised adjustable mesh base, take a look at our Smart bases.
 

Johannes Albertus Auping was a hard-working blacksmith in Deventer in 1888 who did not shy away from any challenge. When the director of a hospital asked him for a ventilating bed, he created a woven mesh mattress. He did this by attaching iron wires to the cutting plate of a bean mill, and then rotating it along an axis. This resulted in a beautiful braidingpiece. Later on, he ensured that the bed base became elastic.
Big improvements sometimes come in small things. In 1963, for example, the steel wire was no longer stretched lengthwise, but widthwise. This in turn led to the invention of adjustable bed bases at Auping.
