I have just bought a memory foam double mattress, 4ft6, which I will be putting on a slatted base. After reading the advice on this site, my initial fears about the base being able to take the strain have been allayed. However, before I put the mattress on, I wanted to get advice about whether weight is an issue, with the base being strong enough. We will probably put an old blanket or duvet on the <a class="wpil_keyword_link " href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product-category/bases/" title="base" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">base</a>, but I did want to ask about whether weight would be an issue at all?Any advice would be gratefully received!Thanks. .

Hi Stephen. Thank you for your enquiry. In reality, all <a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/understanding-beds/mattress-bases-explained/">bed frames</a> should be strong enough for the purpose intended. Of course I am going to assume you are not so <a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/understanding-beds/weight-guidance-and-bigger-sleepers/">overweight</a> as to cause an issue. <img src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcRkosblej8-yex-Pa3GT4TUZ3SonUbFsJ7vscS07IEqWyjdnWZ_fdmEVN2JDClPZo902yBxK3ifn8WMnEcjRHMwwUyXIY9Bwn0YYCxDQsZjoUDsa-kCYYWH" width="248" height="248" />Without knowing the type of mattress/frame etc it really is impossible to even generalise let alone give an accurate opinion. If you have a specific reason for asking this question I am afraid you will have to elaborate further. Please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419 to discuss this in detail. Kind Regards

I am looking into buying a storage bed for long term use, I live in a small house and a storage bed would be ideal for me. But after reading your post I am now aware of the faults as such, is there a storage bed frame you can recommend that would be more durable???Thank you in advance, Charlie..

Hi Charlie. There are a number of frames currently available known as ottomans. Usually faux suede or faux leather where the entire mattress lifts up by use of pistons enabling you to utilise the entire space in the frame. This would be an ideal solution for you.<a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product/ottoman-base-2/">We have a range of ottoman bases that can be viewed here.</a> <a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/understanding-beds/ottoman-bed-base-guide/">We also have an article explaining everything you would need to know about ottomans here.</a>Hope this helps, John. 0161 437 4419
