Latex mattress on plywood base?
|
I'm going to put a latex mattress in a twin bed that was made for a traditional mattress. Since it currently only has 4 slats I'm thinking of putting 3/4" plywood on top of the existing slats to support the latex.
Is there any value in drilling 1" holes in the plywood to create some air flow to the latex? I've read conflicting opinions on whether air flow is needed (like with the euro slat beds).

I ended up putting it on a plywood base over wooden slats because this is for a kid twin bed and I expect there to be jumping on the mattress. I put the mattress inside a waterproof/breathable full mattress cover which I think will prevent any moisture problems.
I found a posting that said many of the big latex bedding manufacturers recommend solid platforms. |
