What type of MDF should I use for my latex mattress base?
Awaiting delivery of latex mattress from you and want to board over sprung slats. Bed is six feet long by five feet wide. What size of MDF board do I require and how thick should it be?
Hi Joseph,
Thank you for your enquiry. The thickness of the MDF or Plywood should be 3 - 5 mm and you should purchase enough to cover the whole area of your base. This is essential for all foam based mattresses.
Most DIY stores will cut the MDF to size for you. If there are any gaps the mattress will sink into them and where it dips will become damaged.
If you would like to discuss this or anything else please call our friendly team on 0161 437 4419. Our office hours are 8 am – 8 pm Monday to Friday and 10 am – 4 pm Saturday and Sunday.
Kind Regards
Michaela
