Is my mattress base strong enough?

Stephen Cole asked
9th February 2011

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 base, 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 bed frames should be strong enough for the purpose intended.  Of course I am going to assume you are not so overweight as to cause an issue.

 

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
