The method involves creating a rotating point (45) between a spring-mattress and base (2), where the spring-mattress is in a vertical position with respect to the base. The spring-mattress is tilted around the point of rotation. Another rotating point (52) is created between the spring-mattress and the base. The former rotating point between the spring-mattress and the base is suppressed by tilting the spring-mattress around the latter rotating point, where the spring-mattress is brought to a horizontal position with respect to the base. An independent claim is also included for a bed including a base.
