Hello, I have lower back pain and would be grateful if you could advise me on the best mattress for a hand made wooden bed with solid, flat slats which are spaced around 6cm apart. Weight in the region of 11 stone.
Hi Chris,
All of our mattresses can be used on a slatted bed frame, however, if the slats are in excess of 6cm apart, you should look to place a barrier between the mattress and the base in the form of 3-5mm MDF or peg board sheeting. This will provide the mattress with a uniform surface upon which to sit and prevent ridging occurring as a result of the mattress depressing into the gaps.
Your body dictates that you ought to be looking at a medium tension mattress and without knowledge of your budget and preferred type of mattress, it is difficult to recommend one of our products.
Having said that, I would suggest that you look at the Origins Pocket 1500, which is a standard medium feel with synthetic upholstery layers providing the comfort.

Alternatively and if your budget permits, look at the Artisan Naturals, which has 85% natural upholstery layers and has a selective spring tension. If, after viewing these products, you require any more specific advice as to suitability, please call our office on 0161 437 4419
