Will sprung slats damage a memory foam mattress?

Hi, I used to own a latex mattress with the SULTAN LAXEBY Slatted bed base from IKEA. The slatted bed base is not flat, but rather bows upward to support the weight of the latex mattress, is this what you call a sprung slat?
My main question, I have since switched to a Innerspring + Memory Foam mattress and wondering if I can still use that slatted bed base or if I should purchase a flat slatted bed base. I do not want to damage my new mattress. Thanks-Kelly. .
Hi Kelly.
This is sprung slats.
I would be inclined to ask your retailer this particular question as it may have warranty consequences.
Personally, I would cushion the slats from the mattress as it is unlikely there will be any kind of under-cushioning contained.

I would also add an old duvet on top of the springs with emphasis on the central support bar to create a relatively flat surface.
