Sistem Slat Support — Maximum Excursion Within Minimum Height
The Sistem’s defining engineering feature is its exclusive slat support design — shaped specifically to achieve maximum vertical excursion (the range of slat flex under body weight) within the total height of the base, which is only 8cm from frame to top of slats.
This compactness allows the Sistem Flat to fit entirely within the profile of most bed frames without adding to the overall bed height — making it compatible with virtually any bed structure. The exclusive shape of the slat support enhances the mattress’s own comfort and ergonomic capacity by allowing the slats to flex precisely with the body’s weight distribution rather than providing fixed, rigid resistance.
The frame uses an exclusive screw-free joint system — the frame components connect without screws, providing structural integrity without the loosening that screw-based connections develop over years of dynamic loading. The frame is 70mm high and 30mm wide. The double version includes an adjustable central leg.
Soft Shoulder — Pressure Relief at the Most Sensitive Zone
The Soft Shoulder zone uses a combination of elastic supports and specially shaped slats in the shoulder area — the zone where side sleepers experience the most concentrated pressure and where inadequate support causes shoulder joint compression, restricted arm circulation, and cervical tension.
The Soft Shoulder slats are more flexible and compliant than the standard Sistem slats, allowing the shoulder to sink slightly more naturally into the surface — relieving pressure, maintaining circulation, and contributing to correct cervical alignment. This targeted flexibility is particularly beneficial for side sleepers and those who experience shoulder or neck discomfort during sleep.
Carbonflex Slat — Self-Regulating Carbon-Fibre Performance
The Carbonflex slat is Dorelan’s proprietary high-performance slat made from a sophisticated polymer reinforced with carbon fibres — and it is the Sistem Flat’s most technically distinctive material component.
Carbonflex exhibits a unique mechanical property: uniform firmness proportional to applied weight — it automatically stiffens under greater weight and becomes more yielding under lighter weight, without any manual adjustment. The heavier hip and lumbar zone receives firmer support automatically; the lighter head and leg areas receive more yielding support — without requiring manual calibration.
Combined with the standard Sistem slats, the Carbonflex creates a structure that provides elastic and constant support along the entire width of the base — improving comfort specifically in the areas of greatest body weight, achieving a more complex and delicate balance between support and comfort than fixed-firmness slats deliver.
Compatible with Spring and Memory Foam Mattresses
The Sistem Flat is specifically designed to maximise the comfort of any mattress — spring or memory foam. It fits within the profile of any standard bed frame. For Dorelan mattress owners, the Sistem Flat is the matched flat base component — the base and mattress engineered to work together.

FAQ:
Q: What is the difference between the Dorelan Sistem Flat and the Dorelan Sistem Electric — which should I choose?
Both versions share identical slat technology — the same Sistem slat support shape, the same Soft Shoulder zone, the same Carbonflex self-regulating carbon-fibre slat, and the same screw-free frame construction. The ergonomic performance of the base itself is the same.
The difference is function:
The Sistem Flat is fixed in position — it provides the full Sistem ergonomic support in a static configuration. No motors, no adjustment mechanism, no reinforced steel joint. Simpler installation, lower price point.
The Sistem Electric adds two motors for continuous electric adjustment of the back and foot sections, a reinforced steel hinge to join the two frame halves for dynamic loading, and a knee hump for comfortable raised-back positioning. It is the right choice for those who want adjustable positioning for reading, reflux relief, back pain management, leg elevation, or other therapeutic positioning needs — in addition to the full Sistem slat engineering.
Choose the Sistem Flat if flat sleeping is always your preference and you want the best slatted base engineering Dorelan offers in a non-adjustable configuration. Choose the Sistem Electric if adjustability matters to you now or may matter in future.

Q: How does the Carbonflex slat provide self-regulating support without any manual adjustment?
The Carbonflex slat’s self-regulating behaviour comes from the specific mechanical properties of its material — a polymer reinforced with carbon fibres — rather than from any mechanical adjustment mechanism.
Carbon fibre reinforcement gives the Carbonflex a stiffness response that is proportional to the applied load: under a lighter load, the carbon-fibre composite structure flexes more readily. Under a heavier load, the composite structure resists more firmly. This is a physical property of the material, not a mechanism that requires setting or calibrating.
In practice, this means the Carbonflex slat directly underneath the hip — which bears the greatest body weight — provides significantly more structural resistance than the same slat would provide under the lighter shoulder or lower leg. This automatic response happens at every position and for every body weight without any user intervention, and it cannot drift or require recalibration over time.
Combined with the more flexible Soft Shoulder slats in the shoulder zone and the standard Sistem slats elsewhere, the result is a base that provides genuinely differentiated support across the full length — not as a fixed zone division but as a continuous, weight-responsive support surface.
Q: Is the Dorelan Sistem Flat compatible with all mattress brands or only Dorelan?
The Sistem Flat is designed to maximise the comfort of any mattress, spring or memory foam — and is mechanically compatible with any mattress of standard dimensions and any standard bed frame.
That said, the Sistem is engineered in specific synergy with Dorelan’s own mattress range. When paired with a Dorelan mattress — the Effect, Levant, Regal, Stylus, or Tresor — the base and mattress work together as a designed system: the Sistem’s slat support shape and Carbonflex self-regulation complement the specific spring or foam architecture of each Dorelan mattress, enhancing its ergonomic performance beyond what either component achieves on a standard base.
For those using the Sistem Flat with a non-Dorelan mattress, the base still provides a meaningfully superior slatted foundation compared to standard alternatives — the Carbonflex self-regulation and Soft Shoulder zone benefit any mattress placed on them.

Q: The Dorelan Sistem Flat costs more than standard flat slatted bases — what justifies the price?
The price reflects three specific engineering components that standard flat slatted bases do not include.
First, the Carbonflex carbon-fibre reinforced polymer slat: manufacturing a self-regulating composite slat that automatically adjusts firmness proportional to applied weight — without any mechanism — is substantially more expensive than standard beech or polymer slats. The material itself carries a meaningful cost premium over commodity slat materials.
Second, the Soft Shoulder zone: specially shaped, more compliant slats in the shoulder area — requiring individual slat design rather than uniform production — targeting the specific pressure relief needs of the shoulder zone.
Third, the exclusive Sistem slat support shape: engineered for maximum excursion within minimum height, combined with a screw-free frame connection system. The design and production precision required for both features represents an investment above standard base engineering.
EC medical device certification, Italian manufactory production standards, 33 available sizes, and free delivery and professional assembly in Tbilisi by Sleep Gallery’s team complete the picture of a base whose premium is technically justified at every component level.
