About mattress pads

I have read your excellent articles on the benefits of using a sprung base divan over a slatted base for a pocket sprung mattress. My query is that I currently have a pocket sprung mattress which is sat upon a solid slatted bedstead. I would like to keep using the bedstead if at all possible, so I read with interest that you are considering offering a very thin mattress to sit between the slats and the mattress. Any ideas on when this will be available?
Also in the meantime I have toyed with the idea of using a memory foam topper, but rather than having it on top of the mattress, I was thinking about placing it under the mattress to provide a bit of extra cushioning. I don't know whether this is advisable or not though, so any feedback would be gratefully received. Regards, Adam .
Hi Adam.
I have a prototype being made which I shall trial on my slatted bedframe - I cannot foresee this coming to fruition for a couple of months or so.
There is no doubt about it that this addition should replicate the benefits and feeling of a sprung edged base and give you the optimum foundation for you and your mattress.
The trick / problem is to find the correct height and tension of mattress-guide/" title="spring">spring in order to support the mattress and user to prevent it being overly compressed.
I'm not particularly sure if a memory foam Topper will have the suspension qualities required to do a similar job or if it will completely flatten under the weights applied.
If you do decide to try this out I would be interested in your feedback.
John and Ryan.
