Although open coil sprung mattresses are the most suitable for slatted bases, you can use a pocket sprung or memory foam mattress just by making a slight modification to your base. I personally have a Madrid mattress (1000 pocket sprung with memory foam) made by La Romantica Beds on my pine slatted bed. The reason that pocket sprung mattresses aren't usually suitable for slatted bases is because each spring works independently, so if the gaps between the slats are too big then the springs will try to push between them. What I have done to prevent this is to add extra slats to close the gap to about 1 inch (or 3inches if the mattress has memory foam on both sides like the Madrid). If you can't add extra slats, then you can lay a sheet of peg board (hard board with loads of holes in it) over the slats.

I really can't understand why anyone would click to say that they find this unhelpful........so it is probably just another seller who doesn't like me giving out good advice.
