Usage

The Lonset slatted bed base is designed to work with various mattress types, providing optimal support and ventilation. Once installed in your bed frame, simply place your mattress directly on top of the slats.

• Mattress Placement: Position your mattress evenly over the entire surface of the slatted base.
• Weight Distribution: The flexible slats are designed to distribute body weight evenly, adapting to your movements and providing pressure relief.
• Ventilation: The gaps between the slats allow for air circulation, which helps to keep your mattress fresh and prolong its lifespan.
