What foundation should I use?Updated 18 days ago

The ideal base for all Polysleep mattresses is a slatted base where the slats are a minimum of 2 inches wide and 3 inches apart. 

This type of foundation offers several advantages.

Ventilation: Slats provide aeration for the mattress, allowing air to circulate more freely. This helps in preventing moisture buildup, which can impact the longevity and hygiene of the mattress.

Support: Quality slats distribute weight evenly across the mattress, providing good support. This even distribution can help prevent sagging or uneven wear, which can occur with improper support.

Durability: A slatted bed frame with appropriately spaced slats can enhance the durability of the mattress by offering consistent support. It minimizes excessive pressure on specific areas of the mattress, potentially extending its lifespan.

Comfort: The flexibility of slats can offer a bit of give to the mattress, enhancing comfort. It can also contribute to a better night's sleep by adapting to body contours.

Compatibility: Many modern mattresses are designed to work well with slatted bed frames. Manufacturers often recommend specific slat widths and spacing to optimize the performance and longevity of their mattresses.

You may also use a platform base, however please note that this type of base tends to retain heat. 

You may also use an adjustable base, our mattresses Aura and Zephyr are specially cut to move with adjustable bed bases.
