Is the Origins Pocket 1500 suitable for a sprung slated bed frame
We’ve just bought a sprung slated bed frame ( http://www.made.com/roscoe-king-size-bed-aegen-blue ) and are now looking for the perfect mattress to go with it.
Having considered a lot of options, we think the Origins Pocket 1500 probably best suits our needs – not too soft but not too firm; doesn’t bulge at the sides as my partner often sits on the end of the bed; suitable for side-sleepers; doesn’t get too hot; and can accommodate two sleepers of different weights. One thing we weren’t sure of though is whether it would work with our new bed base, as looking at most of the images on your site mattresses are paired up with divan bases, which we’ve never had much luck with in the past hence the new sprung slated base.
Please could you advise if the Origins Pocket 1500 works with this type of base?
Thanks!
Hello Laura,
Thank you for your question.
Our Origins Pocket 1500 mattress is suitable for a slatted bed base. All we would ask is that you check the gap between the slats and if they are more than 3 inches apart, you will need to board the base with either MDF or Hardboard. As your bed frame is also a sprung slatted base, you would be best to board the base due to the fact that the construction of the base could cause a ridge to develop in the middle of the mattress. I have attached a link to our website which explains the reason for this.
The Origins Pocket 1500 will give a medium comfort and support for body weights of between 10st – 16st and is perfect for side sleepers as it has a layer of wool which will allow you to sink into the mattress just a little and should not cause pressure point pain in shoulders and hips.
