Hi Mandy.

Absolutely Yes.   We would suggest putting either a cheap duvet or blanket on top of the slats to prevent the mattress from snagging on the wooden slats.  However please check the gap between the slats as if they are more then 3 inches apart, you will need to place mdf on top of the slats to make a more solid surface.

If your mattress is one sided then it will be severely lacking in any kind of upholstery - just enough to keep the spring unit stable from the fabric on the underside.

If using a one sided mattress on a sprung slatted base the lack of any wadding or upholstery will have a tendency to contour to the slats and therefore give you the hump back bridge effect i'e will create a dip in the middle of the mattress.

I hope this assists but please do not hesitate to telephone our office on 0161 437 4419 for further information.

Kind regards Julie
