Will a metal bed frame damage my mattress?
i have a metal bed frame which has rungs rather than flat slats running across it- will these damage my mattress, i have had an airsprung mattress for 2 years and it is like there’s no wadding left protecting you from lumpy mattress springs. is this because it is not great quality or is my bedframe solely to blame- and how to i get round it?
i’m looking for a new mattress (obviously) and am wondering whether to put something between the mattress and frame to prevent it getting lumpy?
thanks, claire

Hi Claire,
Thanks for your question.
I have no ‘positive proof’ that this method of support will damage a mattress. I do not know of any test carried out that can answer this with factual evidence so any answer can only be opinion. The retailer of this kind of bedframe will obviously say it wouldn’t damage a mattress. The retailer of memory foam mattresses for example, may say yes it would.
I personally would suggest that a better frame for your new mattress would be more beneficial. If you don’t want to replace it then maybe consider boarding the base with MDF, plywood or pegboard to create a “safer” surface.
The answer to your second point about your Airsprung mattress is speculation as you do not provide model name and specification.
However, Airsprung as a product brand is not one that I would readily associate with top quality and so, just on that basis alone I think the model you describe has come to the end of its life.
Please come back to us at your earliest convenience on 0161 437 4419 to discuss this further.
Kind Regards, John and Ryan.
