It depends on the mattress, for example a memory foam mattress will perform better on a solid base and is self-ventilating.
Yes , had a solid base on my bed for years , no damp . Just turn the mattress monthly and air every day .It depends on the mattress, for example a memory foam mattress will perform better on a solid base and is self-ventilating.
And there was me thinking that I was being succinct. So...Still nothing about the relative strengths of soft wood verses MDF though. Please be helpful next time!
Let me ask this in a clearer way....And there was me thinking that I was being succinct. So...
NEITHER MDF NOR THIN WHITEWOOD (PINE) IS SUITABLE FOR THE DUTY CYCLE YOU ARE PROPOSING
a piece off mdf 1m long 20mmx60mm supported at each end will with little or no load [2 or 3 kilos] will bend and fall out i suspect within a 2 to 4 week periodLet me ask this in a clearer way....
What is the bend strength of 10mm thick pine?
What is the bend strength of 20mm thick MDF?
When both pieces are 60mm wide and 1 metre long!
What is the maximum weight to deflect each by 20mm?
its very very easy with a low level floor supported beds where the total or most off the space underneath is flexible allowing short distances between supportMy super king size bed is made from 18mm mdf . No sagging , just down to the design .
Have no supports under bed , two single bed units with mdf sheet across top, completely open to use for storage .its very very easy with a low level floor supported beds where the total or most off the space underneath is flexible allowing short distances between support
where as in this instance you have a minimum 7ft/2m span where its far outside the remit off mdf in any form or thickness
indeed most low level beds i make [possibly around 20-30] are around 2mx 1m-5ft and all have 4x12mm box with 2x1" pine facings back to back boxes and end panel and are solid and you could have a barn dance on them but elevated not the same story as the span is at least double
I used the computer between my ears.[)thats interesting obviously computer designed
i certainly am still learning but mdf and bed frame in the same sentence dont fill me with trust and confidence
mines is at the other end off my torsoI used the computer between my ears.[)
