Hi Derek,

Slatted bases are fine, providing you board over them if you're using them with a high-quality mattress. Given the fact hand-made quality mattresses are by their very nature heavier, as they contain more fillings than cheaper machine made mattresses, slatted bases can damage these mattresses as the weight of them makes them contort between the gaps in the slats.

We have a full article with more details here on what to consider and boarding over your slats to make your base more suitable.

If we can assist you further, please do not hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind regards Julie
