Can pocket sprung mattress be put on slatted wooden bed frame?
Hi – I bought a Habitat Euro King size bed frame some time ago in a sale, thinking that when I have enough money, I will buy a mattress from Habitat for it. Long story short, they have discontinued Euro Sizing. I currently have a very old 2400 18 yr old Relyon mattress which cost us the earth. I couldn’t pay that amount of money again (newly divorced) but want to know if a mattress intended for divan can be put on Wooden Frame bed (it has no end, just head board if that helps at all). Thank you in advance for any help/information you can give. Rosie
Hi Rosie,
Thank you for your question.
There is no reason why a pocket sprung mattress cannot be placed upon a slatted bed frame. However, we always advocate placing some form of barrier, usually in the form of thin (3-5mm) MDF sheeting over the slats. This will make any mattress feel slightly firmer and will prevent ridging occurring as a result of the mattress dipping into the gaps between the slats. In addition, most slatted bases have a central support bar for the slats and without the barrier referred to, dipping and bulging in the centre of the mattress can occur.
I trust that this is of assistance to you, but if you require any further guidance or advice, particularly with regard to the suitability of one of our products for you, please call the office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind regards Julie
