Which Vi Spring mattress suitable for our bedframe?

Hi guys My husband and I are being given a super king sized bed and mattress as a wedding present from my father. The budget takes into consideration that these are to last for many years. Bed - we've decided to go for an attractive wooden bedframe with sprung slats from thesleeproom.com. It uses up about 20% of the budget. Mattress - we'e thinking Vi-Spring (other option was John Lewis). I've found a Bedstead Superb (double layer of springs) at a good price. Or the other option is a Regal Superb (not marketed as for bedsteads and one layer of springs) or Herald Superb (ditto, and on clearance price). The worry - having read here about sprung, arched slats and the middle support bar not being ideal for pocket sprung mattresses, do you think I should be thinking again about either bed or mattress?
Many thanks in advance. RR. .
Hi RR,
Thank you for your question.
As you will read through many of these comments about this self same situation, the correct foundation for a pocket sprung mattress is a sprung edged divan base.
My own view is that design of the bed frame and consequentially, the overall look of the bedroom takes precedence over what is right for the mattress. However, once you realise what the drawbacks are you can make arrangements to lavish a little attention to your mattress.
In the case of sprung slats, it requires some kind of cushioning to relieve any pressure the slats will be exerting upwards. You have to remember that some sprung slats are quite firm and the last thing you want them to do is create two humps into your mattress.
As for your mattress, why not consider our Artisan Naturals as this is the model we compare to the Vi Spring Regal Superb.
