What base should I use under a pocket spring mattress?

A slatted base with flexible slats (max. 5-6 cm spacing) or a bed frame with ventilation openings is the ideal combination for a pocket spring mattress. 

• ✓ Flexible slatted base or wooden bed frame with openings
• ✗ Solid wooden board without ventilation -> moisture build-up and shorter lifespan
• Always check whether your mattress is suitable for an adjustable bed base
