Bico-flex slatted bases

🇨🇭 BICO Flex Slatted Frames Switzerland – Swiss Made Premium Slatted Frames for Deep Healthy Sleep®

BICO Flex Slatted Frames represent the premium class among Swiss slatted frames. The bico-flex® series is designed for those seeking maximum ergonomics, flexible shoulder relief, durable Swiss Made quality, and individually adjustable sleep comfort. Matratzenland is one of the leading Swiss specialists for mattresses, slatted frames, and sleep systems, with a strong focus on Swiss brands, personal consultation, a showroom in Stans, and nationwide delivery.

First-class sleep in every aspect begins with the right combination of mattress and slatted frame. The bico-flex® supports the body dynamically, relieves shoulders and hips specifically, and helps maintain the spine in an ergonomically correct position. Especially for side and back sleepers, the bico-flex® provides a high-quality foundation for healthy, restful sleep.

Why is the bico-flex® a Premium Slatted Frame?

The bico-flex® differs from classic slatted frames due to its particularly flexible shoulder zone, dynamic joint suspension, adjustable lumbar and hip support, and a stable aluminium frame. In the 2026 catalogue, BICO describes the bico-flex® as a uniquely dynamically adaptable slatted frame featuring revolutionary silhouette technology for maximum shoulder relief.

Yes, the bico-flex® is BICO's Premium series when the highest ergonomics, precise body adaptation, and durable Swiss Made quality are the priorities.

🇨🇭 Swiss Made Quality from BICO

• SleepLab – tested for ergonomics, hygiene, bed climate, and durability
• AEH certified – independently tested quality

Understanding the bico-flex® Silhouette Technology

The centerpiece of the bico-flex® series is the Silhouette Technology. In the shoulder zone, twisted, flexible fibreglass rods adjust sensitively to the body. This allows the shoulder to sink deeper and with less pressure than with basic slatted frames. BICO specifies an individually adjustable sinking depth of approximately 35 to 70 mm for this shoulder zone.

Who is the Silhouette Technology particularly beneficial for?

• Side sleepers who require high shoulder relief
• Back sleepers looking for ergonomic body positioning
• Individuals with sensitive shoulder zones
• Comfort sleepers seeking a particularly flexible lying feel
• Couples needing different adjustments depending on their side

Dynamic Joint Suspension for Better Body Adaptation

The joint suspension of the bico-flex® ensures dynamic body adaptation across the entire lying surface. Rotatable spring elements with high sinking depth and high-quality beech wood slats flexibly respond to movements. This enables the slatted frame to balance movements and provide more even support to the body in various sleeping positions.

Adjustable Lumbar and Hip Setting for bico-flex®

The lumbar and hip setting on the bico-flex® is variable in three degrees of firmness. This allows for more targeted support of the lumbar region and better relief for the hips. This setting is particularly important as the back, pelvis, and shoulder zone collectively determine whether the spine lies ergonomically during sleep.

Why is lumbar support important?

The lumbar support helps the lower back. It helps prevent excessive sagging in the pelvic area and promotes the natural shape of the spine.

Why is hip adjustment important?

The hips carry a lot of body weight. Good hip relief prevents the body from sinking unilaterally or twisting.

Stable Aluminium Frame for Longevity

The aluminium frame of the bico-flex® is lightweight, stable, and durable. It fits into all common bed frames and is designed for long-term use. The side total height of the bico-flex® models is according to the BICO catalogue 11.5 cm.

Motor Technology in bico-flex® M2 and M4

The motorized bico-flex® models provide additional comfort in everyday life. BICO mentions quiet, fully insulated, and tested drives, remote control, emergency lowering in case of power failure, and low standby power consumption of 0.15 W.

Advantages of motorized bico-flex® models

• Comfort – easy adjustment while lying down
• Reading – pleasant upper body elevation
• Relief – legs and back can be individually positioned
• Everyday Use – easier getting up and more comfortable sitting
• Safety – emergency lowering in case of power failure
• Operation – convenient remote control

Which bico-flex® is Right for Me?

For Side Sleepers

Side sleepers benefit particularly from the silhouette technology. Recommended options include bico-flex® 0, A, B, M2, or M4 – depending on the desired adjustment. For those wanting maximum comfort, the bico-flex® M4 is the choice.

For Back Sleepers

Back sleepers need good lumbar and hip support. All bico-flex® models provide a strong foundation for this. Motorized models are especially comfortable when the upper body or legs are preferred to be elevated.

For Stomach Sleepers

Stomach sleepers should pay attention to a stable setting to prevent excessive sinking at the body's centre. The bico-flex® can be adjusted accordingly but should be used with a suitable mattress.

For Shoulder Problems

For shoulder problems, the bico-flex® is particularly interesting as the flexible silhouette shoulder zone enables less pressured shoulder placement.

For Back Problems

For back problems, the lumbar and hip settings, along with the appropriate mattress, are crucial. The bico-flex® can assist in ergonomically positioning the back and pelvis.

For Seniors

Seniors benefit significantly from the bico-flex® M2 or M4. Motorized adjustment eases reading, sitting, standing up, and individual positioning.

For Comfort Sleepers

Comfort sleepers choose between bico-flex® B, M2, or M4 based on their expectations. The strongest comfort model is the bico-flex® M4.

Which Mattresses Suit the bico-flex®?

The bico-flex® is designed for high-quality mattresses and is particularly effective when the mattress should respond ergonomically to the shoulders, back, and hips. BICO emphasizes in the catalogue that the interplay of mattress and slatted frame is crucial for the optimal balancing of the body.

BICO Clima Mattresses

BICO Clima Mattresses benefit from the stable and well-ventilated support of the bico-flex®. The combination is especially suitable for individuals who value bed climate, pressure relief, and ergonomic positioning.

BICO Body Mattresses

BICO Body Mattresses pair very well with the bico-flex® as both systems are designed for body adaptation, shoulder relief, and relaxed positioning.

Pocket Spring Mattresses

Pocket spring mattresses require stable support. Depending on the mattress model and bed frame, the bico-flex® can provide a high-quality basis.

Foam Mattresses

Foam mattresses respond particularly strongly to the substructure. The shoulder zone and joint suspension of the bico-flex® can enhance the ergonomic effect of the mattress.
