How can I fix a dip in a mattress?

I have a super king size bed with sprung slates.
Our mattress is pocket sprung and on the soft side it's turnable.
My husbands side of the bed has a dip in it and I want to try MDF or plywood sheets under the mattress to prevent this and created a firmer feel before replacing.
I saw on your comments below 3mm to 5mm was a recommended width.
I'm around 10 stone my husband is around 13.4 stone.
The Woodyard did not think this size would support the weight.
My worry is a thicker width may put to much strain on the frame.
Any advice you have would be appreciated.

Hi Amy.
Your not looking to replace the slats with boarding more cover them so that wood would be fine as it's not taking all the weight just evening out the surface.
If your mattress has dipped unfortunately there's no easy way to return it to its original shape.
Please see our Article here on settlement and indentations.
You could look at using the boards to give the mattress a firmer support feel and then try adding a mattress topper to give the top layers a little longer lease of life but note if there is a big noticeable dip on your husbands side then usually the topper or anything you put on the top will follow the contour of the mattress.
Please give us a call to discuss further on 0161 437 4419.
