Advice on 100% pocket latex mattress

Hi - please help!
We are intending to buy a 100% natural latex mattress (king size) and also need to get a new bed frame as we upgrading from a double. We like solid wood frames the best purely for the look of them but are unsure what is the best for both comfort and to protect the durability of the mattress. As these mattresses are quite pricey, we are hoping to spend max £400 on the frame, but we dont want to make a false economy. If we invest in a good mattress, does it really matter how much we spend on the frame/base?
Thank you for any help you can give!!!

Hi Angela and Dan.
Thank you for your enquiry. The simple answer is No. The mattress is the most important part. Just be sensible and do all you can to cosset the mattress and look after it. As you are looking at a 100% latex the covering will more than likely be a soft knit fabric and so a mattress protector would be the minimum standard of care.
Slats no more than 3" apart and if you have a choice, solid slats will be better than sprung slats. If the slats are more than 3" apart we would recommend boarding them over with either MDF or Plywood. Latex does perform at it's best on a platform base.
Incidentally, we will be introducing a small range of 20cm solid core latex mattresses by the end of March - similar to the Dunlopillo Classic - Royal Sovereign. Obviously, the price is yet to be finalised but we envisage it to be in the region of £900 (KS).
If you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind Regards
