Could you please tell me more about the slatted beds u make – and the benefits of sprung slats or flat slats. Thanks Log in to Reply
Hello Ann, Our bed bases use beech sprung slats as standard. These give a little under pressure, which is beneficial if you turn during the night, or if 2 people use the bed one person could move around and with the slats taking the pressure it wouldn’t disturb the second person. Pine slats offer a firmer base, these do not have any give in them. We would recommend pine slats if you prefer a very firm base, if you have a high moisture area such as an en-suite close by (the sprung slats loose their shape when damp) or for a child’s bed (sprung slats do react well to children jumping on the bed). If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to give us a call on 0114 2721984. Log in to Reply
Hi, is it possible to order these rubber bands to hold two slats together in order to adjust slats firmness. Many thanks Marcel Log in to Reply
Hello Marcel, Our sliders which adjust slat firmness are plastic, and you can order these from us. If you would like to send us an email to [email protected] with how many you need, we can then get a quote for you. Log in to Reply
Hello, I am buying a solid oak 3ft bed frame and I am undecided whether to go for the frame with ‘fixed’ slats or one with ‘spring’ slats. Your opinion and comments will be much appreciated. Log in to Reply
Dear Leonard, As standard our beds are supplied with beech sprung slats. The reasons you may want to have pine slats would be… if you wished to have a firmer base, if the bed was going in a damp or humid environment or if the bed was for a child (the sprung slats don’t react well to jumping on the bed). If none of these reasons apply to you, the sprung beech slats would be best. The sprung nature of the slats take some of the pressure from the mattress, and on a 3ft model the firmness of the slats can be adjusted. If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to get in touch. Log in to Reply
