Tips on replacing bedstead slats

I have an old (and much-loved) 1970s pine bedstead which needs its slats replaced. Do you have a recommendation for the maximum gap between slats / width of slats / type of wood used?
I also need a new mattress and am thinking in terms of pocket-sprung – in case that makes a difference to your response.
Hi Bethan,
The ideal gap for the slats in your base should be 5cm to 7cm with the slats themselves being 10cm to 11cm.
We have no recommendation regarding the wood to use save for suggesting that it is strong enough to hold the weight of the mattress and occupants without breaking.
If you are looking for a pocket sprung mattress from us,
Your sleeping habits/personal preference will then determine how you would like the mattress to feel in the comfort layers. This is where you will achieve the feel you are looking for (soft/medium/firm). Do you know if you have a preference for a soft, medium or firm?
If you do not, I would advise to go out and try the;
Vispring Devonshire - Soft in upper layers - Comparable with the Artisan Luxury
Vispring Regal Superb - True medium in upper layers - Comparable with Artisan Bespoke 004
Vispring Herald - Firm in the upper layers - Comparable with the Artisan Bespoke
I hope that helps and if you have any further questions please get back in touch on 0161 437 4419 or info@localhost.
