Hello, I want to avoid slats breaking on a double sprung slat base bed frame. I need a portable sprung slat double bed to transport to France (there are loads to choose from) a sprung edge divan is not an option for transporting -too bulky. Would an other option be to buy a metal bed with metal slats - are they comfortable?
However, I am concerned that when renting the house next year that if someone is overweight that the slats will break and they could end up either on the floor or with an injury. Is your option of MDF sheeting a good idea for weight issues as well as wear issues on a mattress?
I also need to buy a double bed size, good quality rolled mattress, preferably with pocket springs - price around £150 -250 - I'd be very grateful to hear your views, Many thanks
Hi Karen,
We would advise that metal slats on a base are not as forgiving as wooden slats and therefore are likely to make any mattress placed on them feel firmer. The use of MDF sheeting is good for the weight issue you refer to and although this would make the mattress firmer, it is not likely to make it as firm as metal slats. We are not able to recommend any company or make of rolled pocket sprung mattress, as we believe this would compromise the construction of the same.
Kind Regards.
