Sled base furniture rides on curved metal runners instead of individual legs. Every contact point where bare metal meets the floor is a scratch waiting to happen. Sled base glides mount to the runner at every floor contact position: straight sections, bends, and tube ends. PA (polyamide) saddle glides cradle the round tube runner and provide smooth, non-scratching floor contact across the entire frame. 13 products covering round, rectangular, and oval tube profiles. Sold in multiples of 4.
A sled base frame has three distinct zones that need floor protection. Mid-runner glides cover the straight sections. Corner glides cover the bends. End glides and clip-on glides cover the tube ends. Choose based on where the tube contacts the floor.
For straight horizontal sections of the runner where the tube lies flat on the floor. The saddle cradles the tube from below. Screw-mount through the tube wall.
For the bend where the runner curves into the vertical riser. The extended base spans the full transition zone. The bend is often the highest-stress contact point on a sled chair.
For open tube ends and wireframe sled furniture. End glides insert into the tube end. Clip-on glides snap onto wireframe runners without screws.
For the straight horizontal sections of the runner. The saddle cradles the tube from below and is secured with screws through the tube wall. Five products cover tube diameters from Ø 20 to Ø 30 mm in four base shapes.
For the bend where the horizontal runner curves upward into the vertical riser. The extended base spans the full transition zone. Mid-runner glides cannot fit here because the tube is curved. Three products cover three tube diameters.
For open tube ends and wireframe sled furniture. End glides insert into the tube end and are secured with screws. Clip-on glides snap onto Ø 10 mm wireframe runners without any fasteners.
For furniture that contacts the floor along a straight edge rather than a round tube runner. Mounts along flat bottom rails, rocking chair runners, and any straight floor-contact edge where saddle-mount glides cannot provide coverage.
