- I am thinking of buying a Lilac Star Latex Mattress with 2400 pocket springs to go on my existing wooden slatted base bed. The bed is a double and the gaps between the slats are about 3 inches. I just want to check if this type of base is suitable for a pocket sprung mattress like this or would it be better to fit a flat board on top of the slats?

It is worth stating something about the minimum 'grade' of slats on a slatted base.
- slats should be smooth, preferably with chamfered edges to prevent cut through to the mattress underside
- maximum space between slats should be no more than 100mm
- minimum width of slats should be approx. 70mm
- the entire length of the mattress should be supported by slats, i.e.. slat ladder length should be same mattress.
- slats should be secured to bedstead properly to prevent movement of slats
Providing your base meets the above criteria you will be able to put your mattress on it.
