do I need a boxspring?
Yes guys, I have a OMF latex bed. I have the mattress on top of a slated futon frame. I am noticing that when I feel under the mattress it sags where there are no slat. Do i need to worry about that? And should i get a boxspring?
THANKS |
Re: do I need a boxspring?
Yes... you need something! Remember, when you are dealing with any type of non-metal support system, you need something to hold the layers of foam, air or water level, so the foam, air or water does all the work. I sell mattresses and am convinced that slats with less than 3" of space between them probably is enough for warranty purposes on almost every med, BUT, even putting a layer of cardboard over the slats would help keep any foam from pushing between the slats... If you use plywood, just seal it and treat it before putting a mattress on top of it so that no mold can build up between the pieces.... |
