Hi, Having read through some of the posts, I find that most mattresses commented on are pocket sprung or similar, There are also less posts in regards to single mattresses too. I am interested in a purely memory foam mattress, as I feel it provides the necessary support at every point of contact with the body. I also prefer a firm mattress. Having said that I have only tried a memory foam mattress on an old single divan bed which has some sort of spring system. But I would be using it for a single size on a metal bedframe with sprung or solid wood slats. (it seems most bed frames are) I am 5 feet 5 and 80kg. What advice would you give for adjustments to my base?

Would it be good to have an mdf board for the whole area, given that it is single size?

What size mdf?

what thickness?

Also I was thinking that It may be good to staple fabric over the mdf board to keep it from damaging the underside surface of the mattress. Can you recommend any mattresses that memory foam?

Much appreciated. >
