Which bedframe for my mattress?
Hi . I wonder if you would advise me please as you have been so good with others. I recently purchased a superking medium firm mattress and love it. I then purchased a wooden framed bed with a central bar although it wasn't sprung. I could only sleep two nights on it as it was agony. The mattress is now on the floor!
I'm now thinking about the divan sprung base but wonder if giving a sprung slatted base might be a wiser move?
I'm scared to make another mistake. I don't want the bed to be any firmer than it is now. >
Hi Louise,
Unfortunately, with a central bar support on the bed frame, you are always likely, in the case of a super king size mattress, to have a raised area in the centre of the mattress over the support bar.
A sprung slatted base is likely to give the same problems as there will be a central supporting bar, purely because of the size of bed.
By purchasing a sprung divan base, you should obtain a softer but supportive feel from your mattress and because the surface upon which the bed rests is one level, you should not experience ridging as described by you.
I trust that this helps, kind regards.
