Vi-spring mattresses for bedsteadsCan you use a Vi-spring mattress on your existing bedstead? So, you've decided you want a Vi-spring mattress, but you want to use your existing bedstead. Can it be done? Well, Vi-spring produces mattresses especially for bedsteads, so you have a choice between several of their hand-made mattresses, although you must be sure that your bedstead is suitable for their use. Things to remember • Distance between slats - Vi-spring recommends that the slats on your bedstead are no more than 6cm apart. Slats that are spaced too widely not only fail to support the mattress properly, but they can damage it, as parts of the mattress sink between the slats when you lie on it. • Mattress pad - it's always advisable to use a mattress pad to separate your mattress from the slats. This gives an extra layer of support and prevents your mattress from being damaged by direct contact with the slats. Mattress pads are inexpensive, easy to buy and could make a huge difference to the wear and tear on your mattress. • Turning - find out whether it's
useful to turn your mattress if you're using it on a bedstead. Vi-spring's
dedicated bedstead mattresses will come with specific care instructions
and you should make sure that you follow them carefully. |
