Hi Rob. This is particularly tricky. I personally would have thought for this particular mattress your sprung edged base would have been more beneficial in providing a more forgiving support. In addition to this, I would have thought your sprung edged base would have been a better foundation for the… Read More
Hi Beverlie. Further to my response to Annette below, you do have an option of adding a custom built headboard [one piece] directly to the wall – particular beneficial for an hotel environment. This would in effect be a minimum of 9ft or so and each arrangement of the… Read More
