A slatted bed base having an outer frame as well as a reclining surface which surface comprises at least two parts and is arranged at the outer frame, wherein at least one part is configured as a pivotable part, which is pivotable around a pivot axis relative to the outer frame by an adjustment unit from a flat position into at least one adjusted position, wherein the adjustment unit is pivotable relative to the outer frame about a first pivot point and relative to the pivotable part about a second pivot point. In order to provide a slatted bed base that can be produced in a particularly cost-efficient manner and at the same time has a compact construction mode as well as a low construction height, the first pivot point for arranging the adjustment unit relative to the outer frame is arranged between the pivot axis of the pivotable part and the second pivot point of the adjustment unit.
