Can I put a memory foam mattress on slats?
In short
Yes, if slat gaps meet the mattress warranty — often a maximum clear gap around 7 cm — so foam cannot hammock between laths. Solid platforms and closely spaced slats are usually safer for thick foam and hybrid comfort layers.
More detail
Measure clear gaps between slat edges. Centre rails on wider frames reduce deflection. See the slatted bases guide for solid versus sprung slats.
