The Best Bed Base for a Pocket Spring Memory Foam Mattress

It’s the same story really – any bed base is fit for use with a pocket spring memory foam mattress, if it is in good condition and can fully support the mattress. Slatted, Solid, Ottoman and Divan bases are all great choices. Just make sure that your bed base is ventilated, so that your mattress can air itself naturally.

Is Your Existing Bed Base Suitable?

If your bed frame exhibits any of the following, you should consider buying a new one:

  • Broken or damaged slats
  • Broken or damaged central supports
  • Poorly ventilated (particularly true of budget divan bases)

Slatted Base: The Benefits

Slatted bed bases allow for maximum airflow which means your mattress can breathe, naturally ventilating itself and maintaining a clean and hygienic space. Therefore you’ll benefit from cooler and more comfortable sleeping conditions, as moisture is naturally removed, reducing the risk of damp and mould.

Divan Bases: Things To Check

Sufficient ventilation is thing to be aware of when pairing a divan base with a memory foam mattress. Good quality divans will have ventilation holes built in to allow for air to flow freely around the mattress. However, this might not the case with cheap poor quality bed frames and is definitely worth checking.

Lack of airflow around your memory foam mattress could result in moisture building up – and in the worst case scenario, mould.
