Mattress Forum

<p>When I went through the "make bed" routine, just to see what they offered in queen beds, I noticed that all of the foundations were slatted. They had a section for "I already own a...", but among the options they listed, every single option was itself slatted. I'm wondering: Is the use of a slatted foundation some sort of requirement with a latex mattress (just like a solid, flat foundation is a requirement for foam mattresses)? I have a captain's bed with a "bunky board" (flat surface, not slatted), and I have no intention of getting rid of it. If using a solid flat foundation is no good with a latex mattress, that would rule out that option.</p>

<p>This hasn't (at least yet) stopped me from thinking about my earlier post, and buying a traditional spring mattress and re-using my existing 3" 4 lb memory foam topper with it. But I want to be sure I've looked at all options before I finally put down my money on this rather sizable investment.</p>
