Hi again Annie.

Glad to hear you're settling in with the mattress.

It does seem that bedframes with solid slats are becoming increasingly hard to find.

Discussions between Ryan and myself conclude that this may be down to economics - sprung slats being a more cheaper system to manufacture coupled with the supposed logic and benefits of a sprung slatted base does add credence.

The weight of your particular mattress (as you now know) is enough to fully compress the sprung slats and provide an adequate surface.  However we would advise that you place MDF or Hardboard over the sprung slats to give the mattress a more uniform surface.

The prices of these bedframes have come down in recent years and you are able to pick up some really nice looking frames.

I would advise that you do all you can to ensure your mattress is being protected - such as a mattress pad of sorts (foam layer / duvet etc) to prevent the slats from digging into the underlying upholstery.

We would have no concerns about placing your / our mattress on any of these types of bedframes with the simple understanding that the mattress is cushioned from the slats.

If you do find a frame with solid slats all well and good, but intrinsically you must like the overall design of the bed and how that reflects in your bedroom.

Kind regards Julie
