Hi Alan,

Thank you for your question.

We have two ranges of mattresses which are suitable for slatted bases.

Our Origins Range and our Artisan Range of mattresses are traditional pocket sprung mattresses.

In the Origins range, I would recommend that you have a look at our Origins Pocket Reflex 1000.  This mattress has a firmer feel in the comfort layers and is one that we recommend for holiday lets and guest houses as it is a really great all rounder and takes a large range of body weights.  It is also an extremely comfortable mattress.

In the Artisan Range, I would recommend having a look at the Artisan Bespoke.  This mattress has firm upholstery layers and has 100% natural fillings.  We can change the spring tension in this mattress to suit body weights and would advise having a medium spring tension which will give the correct support for you both.

Bodyweight Spring tension
Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg Medium (1.4mm)
16 Stone / 101kg Upwards Firm (1.6mm)
Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) Soft (1.2mm)

As you have a slatted base, it would be recommended that if you do purchase any of mattresses from the Fusion Range, that you place either MDF or Hardboard over the slats to make a more solid base.  MDF/Hardboard does not need to be very thick, anything between 3mm and 5mm.

I hope the above is of assistance to you but please do not hesitate to telephone me if you require further information.

Kind Regards Gary
