Can You Put A Memory Foam Mattress On Wood Slats

According to the official tempur website and their guidelines.

Can you put a memory foam mattress on wood slats.

We get this question quite a bit. A metal or wood slat bed foundation usually works well for a foam mattress since the slats are evenly spaced and provide solid support for the mattress s weight. In fact it is highly suggested that you use plywood as your base. Closely laid wooden slats a metal base a bunkie board or even the floor will all do just fine in place of a box spring.

The only bed base that you cannot use a tempur mattress with is an old fashioned spring type base. You can also use a tempur mattress on bed base that has asolid platform. However you can still use your old box spring as your base given that it is not older than ten years. Wood slats come in packages and are the most popular type of slats for resting a mattress on.

Check the mattress company s. That said if your box spring is rigid and firm less than an inch of give it should be okay to use with a memory foam or latex mattress. This is because memory mattresses are heavier than the ordinary spring mattresses. Yes you can use a tempur mattress on a slatted bed.

All you need for your foam mattress is a solid base. This is debatable because it is physically possible to put a mattress onto slats but it may compromise your bed s support.
