Is Breasley Flexcell mattress compatible with bedstead?
Hi, I need some advice. I am shopping for a kingsize bed. Found a mattres Breasley Flexcell pocket 1600 (1600 pocket springs and 75mm memory foam, but only on one side hence ‘non-turn’). But the mrs wants a Joseph Wales wooden bedstead which comes with either sprung or solid slats. I read that springs/” title=”pocket spring”>pocket spring mattresses are not compatible with slatted beds as the mattress may be damaged due to the gaps between slats. Is this true?
If the Flexcell is not compatible with the bedstead, do you have a similar mattress which can be used on a slatted bed?
Many thanks. Ian .
Hi Ian,
Thank you for your question.
Pocket springs ideally like a flat cushioned surface. However, this does not mean that they can’t be used on slatted bed frames. Personally I would opt for the solid slats to keep the mattress flat or place a piece of MDF over the slats to make it a more solid surface.
Adding a mattress pad of your own [a cheap duvet or blanket etc] to cushion the mattress from the slats/MDF and all should be fine.
However as the mattress you are looking at is a non-turn mattress, this means that the life of the mattress is not going to be as long as that of a mattress that can be turned and rotated.
We do not make any mattresses with memory foam however we do have our Hybrid Range which are made of hybrid foam which is much more responsive and less heat retentive than memory foam. However in order for us to recommend which of our mattresses would be suitable for you, we would need to know body weights and preferred feel.
Please telephone our office on 0161 437 4419 for further advice and guidance.
Kind regards Julie
