Hi I have inherited an antique bed frame which functions as 2 singles but also as a double when put together, which is how I'd like to set it up.

I need to buy a mattress for it.

However, the centre has 2 wooden panels which would separate off a zip and link mattress on the bottom side of the mattress, probably by around 5-6cm.

I wonder whether it is ok to just zip the top section of the mattress, which presumably would be well above the height of the wooden middle section and then put a mattress topper on.

You seem very knoweldgeable on the subject, so I wondered whether you might have any ideas or thoughts on what would be best to do.

Many thanks.
