How we set the price
Once you have reviewed our indicative starting prices, you can contact us for a quotation.
We determine the price of your order through open, direct conversations with the box spring maker. We then refine it as part of the made-to-measure production process.
The process for arriving at a final estimate is as follows:
This planning stage before production is essential. It lets us understand your expectations and customization choices more clearly, aim for the comfort that suits you and refine a price that is fair and equitable.
Taking this time before production also reduces the risk of disappointment.

One final point: whatever the price, you will receive a carefully made, precise product whose quality is tailored to your comfort.
