Hi Damien.

It will most certainly NOT be open coil / continuous coil.

So all that is left is either pocket springs or foam (not memory foam).

This is the support element of your mattress and should be right for your weight.

The second element of the mattress is the upholstery (the comfort layers).

This can be anything from Polyester (cheap) to memory foam (mid priced) to latex (mid priced) to natural fibres (expensive).

So dependant on your budget will influence what you can reasonably expect to get.

If your budget is particularly low, you can buy the two elements (Support and Comfort) separately.

For example, buy a basic pocket sprung mattress (support) and complement this further by use of a good topper (comfort).

Hope this helps Damien and i think it will be in your interest to read the comments on this page for additional advice [Mattresses for slats].

We now offer our own ottoman range, please view them here.
