Hi What a fantastic treasure trove of information. We need a new mattress as the current one has got really uncomfortable. However having read the information on slatted bases I checked the distance between slats on our 4 year old bed and discovered this distance to be 3,5 inches between slats. Would i need to revise this or cover the slats with suitably ventilated board?
Many thanks in advance. Bernard

Hi Bernard,
With our pocket sprung mattresses (Origins and Artisan) they are fine to go on a slatted base but as the gaps are bigger than 3" you will need to board the base otherwise the mattresses will become indented and damaged.
You can use some standard MDF, plywood or pegboard. Some people prefer to use pegboard due to the extra ventilation but our Pocket Sprung ranges are fully breathable.
Our Artisan range is constructed with natural fillings and these fillings are ideal for further breathability.
I hope this has answered your questions fully but if you do have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind Regards, Lee.
