Slat Conversion for Platform
Our Latex Mattresses can be used on any true and sturdy surface:
boxspring, platform or slats.
- Boxspring — If you have a newer (less than 3 years old) good quality box spring, it should work fine. You can test by removing your mattress and laying directly on the box springs.
- Platform — A platform can provide even support. Caution must be taken to avoid an environment that will create the conditions for condensation. Like a window pane in winter, a cooler platform can collect moisture from the air as you warm your mattress through the night. Condensation is likely to lead to mold. We *strongly* recommend using a Slat Conversion on top of your platform to maximize air flow and avoid condensation or a 1″ rubberized coconut fiber layer, or coir.
- Slats — FloBeds offers three slat foundations (follow this link to find our more about our Slat Foundations.)
-
- Good: Pine Slat foundation
- Better: Fir Slat foundation
- Best: Euro Slat foundation
- all three styles are available in a low profile design (see Low Profile Euro Slat below)
